BuwanBuwan Now Rising is a monthly curated playlist by BuwanBuwan Collective that spotlights the freshest and most exciting local electronic artists from this side of the tropics.

DECEMBER 2018
Analog synth textures with hints of jazz and future R&B color this selection of unconventional remixes plus original tracks full of interesting melodies. 2018's final days saw many producers eager to end their year on a high note, while of course giving listeners the perfect way to start ours. Yes, we're a little late obviously, but only because there's been so much great music to highlight.

JANUARY 2019
A blank calendar, a clean slate, a perfect excuse to try something new! For beatmakers, this has meant musical innovation; for everyone else this means we can now enjoy a new batch of weird, wonderful tunes. Treat your ears to a wide range of ambient experiments that push the envelope but still stay anchored in tried-and-true hip-hop rhythms, and even strong melodic lines.

BuwanBuwan Now Rising: January 2019

we just playing out here

special shoutout to hicci mad beat

lyrics
Finesse all the circles on my checklist
Actin’ all reckless, my money dwindling down, a recession
My passion for action, my mood is attractin’
this ain’t for me, this for my brothers in the faction
§o
Shoutout to my friends who don’t got me here
EZ
life got me hard but i’m alien
ET
no time for negativity, just sippin’ that tea
never thought i’d be happy that they left now
Man doin better than I ever was
Playin’ no games, straight shootin’ for my next now
Flex sound, empathy lost count when ya’ll got knocked down
Bitter for a bit, sweeter than my ex bitch
Moved on moved on, talk a big game
Who gone who gone? People who ain’t the same
I ain’t got the time, nor the state of mind
Is it a sign? We gon let fate decide
I jus rhyme for the heck of it
Elevate, thinkin’ god-like, gone celibate
Actin’ all nice, who we are, showin’ etiquette
Feelin’ like a hooligan, everyone a fool again
Who that man?
It’s gonzy bitch

my warmup yo workout
i wrote down all facts tho
My demons done seen it
ran far and wide, like semen
Ya’ll seen em?

it's gonzy (prod. hicci)

“Elixir” is the debut ZOOM LENS single by BEDSPACER. 

BEDSPACER is a crash-landed genderless alien who now lives in the closet of Mich Cervantes, a Manila, Philippines-based musician, producer, and award-winning illustrator who’s been a proponent of helping a new generation of women find and express their identity & sexuality. 

Born as a “lowly scout” to serve The Sonic Order of their home planet, one who deems prophetic importance & progression in the documentation of sound, BEDSPACER has spent their life recording, synthesizing, translating and interpreting audio from all over the universe. 

While BEDSPACER spends time in the closet fixing their space travel console to leave back home, Cervantes records the sounds which echo from within. Through their recorded collaborations, Cervantes and BEDSPACER learn of each other’s respective identities in this vast universe, leading the two to question what their own ideas of “home” mean, and with their shared creative efforts - slowly bridging the connection between “alien” and Earthling.

2 months prior to the release of "Less Gloom", we were still looking for a vocalists to sing on the track. Our good friend victor told us about a very talented singer named Lia Jimenez and songwriter named Maile Edulan. When we heard their work, we knew we had to work with them and we really love the outcome of the song. This track is special to us because it represents the growth we have made as artists.
