About This Album
The catalogue’s core mandate to center boundary-pushing, unboxed creative output from across the Philippines positions Sce: Swing as a vital addition to a growing archive of works that reject the rigid genre frameworks that so often erase the nuance of regional creative practice. The Music/Mix classification assigned to the album is no afterthought or catch-all for uncategorizable work; it is a deliberate, purpose-driven label that honors the inherent hybridity of sonic practice that draws from multiple traditions, histories, and modes of creation that cannot be condensed into a single, marketable genre tag. Too often, mainstream music archiving forces works that blend disparate influences into narrow boxes that only capture a fraction of their identity, forcing listeners to approach them with pre-conceived notions that overshadow the unique layers that make each work distinct.
