Justin de Guzman- Inevitable EP

With temperature readings reaching thirty-five to thirty-six degrees Celsius, Manila is definitely scorchin' right now. As you leave for your favorite Philippine summer hot-spots like Boracay or Palawan, don't forget to pack with you Justin de Guzman's latest single under DeeperManila Records, "Inevitable".

If you are one of the unfortunate ones who have never visited my country at this time of the year, do not worry, just close your eyes and listen-- let the two versions of Inevitable do the talking.

Call for a chill out session anytime by the sea with Justin's Inevitable (Original Mix), and everything will be fine. The original version caters sun-drenched melodies from the filtered chords to the jazzy basslines-- Inevitable definitely is my summer anthem for 2010!

If you want a much more organic version of the release, then bring Inevitable (Justin's Tropical Dub) with you! There are more percussions, as well as denser basslines and unfiltered piano chords on this one.

Two tracks tailor-made for beach-lounging, Inevitable EP is certainly the release of my Summer.

SPiNTECH- Electrogruvjunkie

Mick Barroga has been one of Manila's well-respected veterans in the electronic dance scene for the past two decades. From releasing highly-acclaimed albums, "Dreams Unfade" and "Chill House From the Underground", to dropping the most infectious and groovy tracks in local clubs, Mick has grown into a very indispensable underground icon with his SPiNTECH moniker.

SPiNTECH, alongside Silverfilter, has also played a huge part in the propagation and growth of ElectronicaManila, the massive collection of electronica aficionados on Philippine soil.

DeeperManila Records is grateful to have released SPiNTECH's "Electrogruvjunkie" , a highly-sophisticated, eight-track album that contains timeless luscious, groovy, and chill melodies all united through house music.

From the dreamy opener, Groove Titans and the jazzy She's My Sugar, to the summer chill out take-aways, Sailing the Breeze, Twisted Seduction, and Lift Who Up High, Electrogruvjunkie gives off alluring aura to its listeners. Aside from those, the album also caters club-tailored tracks like the electrifying Jewel Thieves, the rock-solid funker, Phonk Tweaker, and the deep and funky Soultastic Funkforce.

SPiNTECH's Electrogruvjunkie definitely adds spice to house music, and with bountiful experience and honed skill, Mick Barroga shows how original Filipino house music is made.

Justin de Guzman- Lights on My Face

It is an honor to be able to write my first review on the original works of Justin de Guzman, the man behind of DeeperManila Records, who also happens to be a good buddy of ours.

One of the notable releases on DeeperManila Records is this warm and slick track, Lights on My Face. JDG starts off with crisp percussions and filtered synth-work-- definitely the way to start a deep track. After that, a timely slam of the luscious bassline follows and takes the lead. Lights on My Face is a certified-suave lounger that your ears would simple crave for.

Lights on My Face was released with two other tracks, both crafted by Justin de Guzman. Check out the full release on JunoDownload.

Swedish House Mafia feat. Laidback Luke & Deborah Cox- Leave the World Behind (Justin's Deeper Mix)

In a country where electronic dance music is not a mainstream thing, there will inevitably be champions and artisans who would rise up and take the stand for the music.

In the bustling streets of Manila , there are true house music soldiers who have dedicated their lives to this lifestyle. Yes, they may be normal citizens by day, but when daylight dies, these citizens become stewards of the music.

DeeperManila Records, the one and only Philippine-grown house music label headed by Justin de Guzman. Together with the head honcho, electronica connoisseurs like Kass Ilagan, Silverfilter, and SPiNTECH work hand-in-hand to keep the funky, deep, and soulful shade of underground EDM alive.

As I begin the chain of write-ups about the works of my fellow countrymen, I would like to share this stunning rework of JDG on Swedish House Mafia's 2009 hit, Leave the World Behind.

You can really feel the essence of original Pinoy house music in this one. From the thick and groovy basslines, to the smooth-flowing, liquefied sound, and to the stomping percussions, Justin de Guzman sends a message to the world-- quality original Filipino electronic dance music is ready to take its righteous spot in the international EDM circuit.
