About This Album
The Manila-based trio of Paul Yap, Carlos Tañada, and Ean Mayor first emerged under the creative umbrella that would become known both as UDD and Up Dharma Down, building their foundational craft within the Philippines’ rich, interconnected pop ecosystem before turning heads far beyond their home country’s borders. Early in their run of international breakout, BBC Radio’s Mark Coles anointed the group as the Manila band most likely to cross over to the lucrative Anglophone market of North America, a prediction that would bear out as their audience expanded exponentially across continents, and their streaming counts grew to surpass 300 million plays on Spotify, a milestone that reflected the widespread resonance of their electronic sound.
