Justin de Guzman- Wake Up

About: 


Following up "Lined Up", Justin de Guzman-- a young visionary and the big boss of Manila's leading underground label-- "Deeper Manila" returns to Asia Music with a banging big-room piece, "Wake Up"!


Sounds Like:


The intro is a well-worked up progression of kicks, shakers, bongos, rim-shots and whatnot that gives us the feel of the groove in its slightest forms. By the time the main drop hits, you will be moving to an intoxicating interplay of heavy bass and some viciously sounding piano riffs. The breakdown, in addition, will complete the experience as it sends all these elements suspending in a highly-reverberated atmosphere, then drops everything in one solid bang!


Recommendation:


Totally recommending this one. Get "Wake Up" right now, and take it into the darker rooms of the underground. You can even set this as your alarm sound-- no joke.

Miguel Libre- Intriphisticated EP

Miguel Libre is part of the youngest and newest generation of electronic music producers in Manila, Philippines, and his name has finally landed on Deeper Manila with his debut release entitled Intriphisticated EP! 

This release yields two originals from Miguel: Intriphisticated and We're From the Deep, while producers Aerodynamic Xpress, DJ X-Cite, Marc Systematic, MicFreak, and label owner Justin de Guzman also contribute their respective remixes for this huge release.

Intriphisticated, a soundtrack made up of edgy stabs, stubby bass, and multi-layered atmospheric pads, is the first in this release. On to the remixes: first we have a remix from the Italian duo Aerodynamic Xpress, expect a pitch-black atmospheric interpretation of the original! DJ X-Cite's remix, on the other hand, carries a handful of elements of the original, but this time, the original gets twisted into a more haunting tune. 

For the third remix, Markovskyh Vladyslav, or simply Marc Systematic, puts forth another stunning adrenaline-pumping techno track! For people who still crave for a harder version of Intriphisticated, MicFreak (Michael Cobaria) made sure you guys get to experience one. MicFreak made sure that his remix on Intriphisticated would blow your heads off, guaranteed.

We're From the Deep, which serves as side B of the release, portrays the smoother yet darker side of Miguel Libre's productions. Drift deep with hypnotizing leads and ultra-groovy bass! Giving the release a soulful close, Justin de Guzman turns the deep sounds of We're From the Deep into one groovy Rhodes-driven body-swingin' piece.

Soundscapes Exclusive Package no. 001 feat. JUSTIN DE GUZMAN

In our efforts to help artists showcase their talents to the rest of the world, Soundscapes by Motionmigs officially launches the first of a series of exclusive music give-aways! First installment features the very talented head honcho of Deeper Manila (Records), Justin de Guzman. This package caters five fine tunes exclusively compiled by Justin himself. Soundscapes is proud to present this Exclusive Package featuring Justin de Guzman!


All Night Long (In One Sound) [Deeper Manila]
This track embodies the earlier sound of Justin on Deeper Manila. Released on DM back in 2009, "All Night Long"  brings out deep and suave grooves from the man.


El Nido (Exclusive Rework) [Unreleased]
Early 2011 marked the completion of a summer-anticipating chill house track by Justin de Guzman entitled "El Nido", which is inspired by the paradise island Palawan itself. A snippet of El Nido was uploaded on Justin's Soundcloud page for free download, but the full length high quality version was never given out to the public just yet. In April, Justin handed over to us an exclusive rework of the track for give-away.


In the Morning [Unreleased]
The third track in this package is "In the Morning", one of Justin's unreleased works that portray the darker side of his productions-- a precursor to his new tech sound on Deeper Manila. 


Takedown [Unreleased]
Like the previous track, "Takedown" also is an unreleased track from Justin de Guzman. Expect some bad-ass basslines on this one!


Leave the World Behind (Justin's Deeper Mix) [Bootleg]
As an avid Swedish House Mafia fan, Justin, back in 2009 gave away for free two of his bootleg remixes of the highly-acclaimed anthem "Leave the World Behind". These goodies reached an estimated number of 7,000 downloads worldwide up to date and was later on reviewed here on our website last year. In addition, the inclusion of this track in this package was requested by Motionmigs.

Native Rush- And At Night EP

Native Rush takes center stage on Deeper Manila as they set their debut four-track release, “And at Night”! Moreover, Native Rush is the moniker for two talented German producers, Johan Brandes and Gunther Purshe who focus on crafting deep house, soul, and techno music.

Nocturnal anthem, “Many Times” brings the release to life with its laid-back atmosphere, deep-drifting grooves, echoing chords, and hazy vocal samples. Deeper Manila captain Justin de Guzman takes remix duties for “Many Times”— the result, an in-your-face groovy reinterpretation! Excellent remix right here.

Third track on the package is “Whatadelay”, a soundtrack of hip melodies and haunting echoing vocal samples. “Arkwright” is the fourth and last track on the package, and the drift to a more deep-tech ground is quite evident on this one.

Deeper Manila celebrates the debut of Native Rush on the label with four brand new tracks! “And at Night” is a proud release exclusively brought to you by Deeper Manila— support this release!

Justin de Guzman- Juice

Deeper Manila drifts to the edgier side of house music as they deliver a head-nodding, finger-snapping, body-swaying, and feet-stomping release from the big boss! Just after weeks of his highly-acclaimed release, “Malate” EP, Justin de Guzman is back with a brand new single, “Juice”.

“Juice” is the track that defines the new sound of Deeper Manila— a sound so vicious yet so groovy! From timely-executed transitions and breaks, to dark and big-room synths, Justin de Guzman’s “Juice” is truly a piece house connoisseurs must have their hands on.

Anthony Logarta- Tuba Supernova

We kick off another review for a release by a fellow-countryman, Anthony Logarta, a California-based, deep house producer. Just recently Anthony launched a brand new record label entitled, Deep Sphere Records, a label now releasing quality material from various Filipino producers like Funk Avy, Mecha Hell, Justin de Guzman, and of course, Anthony himself.

"Tuba Supernova" is Anthony Logarta's debut on his very own record label, and is the stepping-stone for numerous releases in the future. Deeper Manila label owner, Justin de Guzman also throws in a remix for Deep Sphere.

Opening the release is the Tuba Supernova (Original Mix), a head-nodding, body-swaying deep track composed of flanged chords put together in a very hip fashion. On the flipside, Justin de Guzman turns Tuba Supernova into a midnight soundtrack, made possible by denser bass-work, and a deeper atmosphere.

The new shiny label really looks promising. As it continues to release more quality material from artists out there, Deep Sphere Records surely is one label you should not miss out on!

Check out Deep Sphere Records on Junodownload!

Justin de Guzman- Malate / Vito Cruz

Deeper Manila head honcho, Justin de Guzman walks us through the streets and districts of old Manila with his new Malate EP [DM015] that spawned two tracks, “Malate” and “Vito Cruz”.

Justin gives the nightlife district, Malate, a soundtrack through a mixture of deep and groovy basslines, heavily-filtered chords, and of course, a very sedative atmosphere!

Next stop, he names his tech-deep spectacle from one of the notable streets in the city, Vito Cruz. Aside from the pounding kicks brought to us by Justin, hollow and highly-reverbed chords also compose this discotheque groover.

Justin de Guzman effortlessly captures the true essence of Manila through his Malate EP. Close your eyes and listen to what the city has to offer.

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.
