Mark Coles of BBC Radio once anointed the Manila-based group UDD, formerly known as Up Dharma Down, as the act from the city most poised to break into the lucrative North American Anglophone market, a prediction that has only gained weight as the trio’s career has unfolded across continents and streaming platforms. Composed of Paul Yap, Carlos Tañada, and Ean Mayor, the electronic trio has built a global fanbase that has pushed their collective streams on Spotify past the 300 million mark, a milestone that reflects their broad cross-regional appeal and the timelessness of the sound they’ve crafted over the course of their career. The Filipino band’s work, rooted in a versatile electronic foundation that has drawn comparisons to boundary-pushing acts like The Chemical Brothers, Junior Boys, Disclosure, and Caribou, has taken them to stages across Asia, Canada, and the United States, where they’ve connected with audiences that turn out for their layered, immersive take on electronic pop.
