PANTAYO ANG PAGDALOY

RELEASE DATE: JUNE 9, 20023

The spellbinding Toronto-based outfit Pantayo (Eirene Cloma, Michelle Cruz, Joanna Delos Reyes, Kat Estacio, and Katrina Estacio) find a satisfying resolution by reinventing their relationship to the traditional kulintang ensemble instruments, indigenous to the islands known as Mindanao, that provide the foundation for their unmistakable and unyielding sound.

On their sophomore record Ang Pagdaloy, the Polaris-shortlisted group give themselves permission to dive into an appreciation for the music they discovered growing up —searing, minimal R&B; heaving drone metal; airy 90s guitar-driven rock, and gauzy, alt-country balladry. In the process, they build into their sonic landscape a constellation of somatic and aural influences, like the low-belly simmer of an unresolved crush or the metallic cacophony of the carts from early morning bottle collectors in Manilla.

At its core, Ang Pagdaloy is an intricately constructed collage that rejects narrow definitions, and instead, mirrors the properties of water — taking inspiration from its shape-shifting elements, devotion to organic paths of least resistance, and desire to to let go and flow.

Title: He Hymns

Release date: 2023/06/02

Over the last few years, Bristol born, London based artist LCY has become one of the guiding lights in a scene of fans who like their club music deep, dark and with a heavy dose of rhythm. Releasing predominantly on their own label SZNS7N, LCY has transcended musical boundaries, taking from a wide range of musical influences to create their own fluid hybrid style that indulges the deepest desires of those who chase a visceral dancefloor response - uplifting a huge amount of unconventional producers alongside them in the process. Today marks the announcement of their first release on fabric Originals, the flagship label from global club imprint fabric

LCY’s He Hymns EP is a dystopian reimagination of club music. Each track within the project takes inspiration from elements of beloved genres of club music and metamorphoses them into works of dancefloor experiments that alter the perception of what music built for soundsystems can be.

Simultaneously warm and unrelentingly intense, He Hymns perfectly sets the stall for LCY’s vision for the club; transporting the listener to an alternate future in which the driving heart of electronic music sits unapologetically at the fore. He Hymns is dynamic, confounding club music that is still inherently propulsiveready to lift the curtain on a new level of invention within the electronic space.

Highlights:

• Black vinyl cut by award winning engineer Matt Colton

• The fifth release in the new series ‘fabric Originals’ from fabric Records

• Artwork designed by fabric’s inhouse creative director

• A producer with a lot of hype – phenomenal artist
