UNEARTH: UGAT 🌱
For this edition of Unearth we present “UGAT”, where we bring together artists whose sounds trace roots across memory, place, and possibility, from ancestral echoes to machine-born futures.
First, Toha, crafting sonic journeys for mystics and misfits. Moving between trip hop, garage, trap, and bass music, their sets unfold like living stories, slow-burn atmospheres rising into primal release. Each drop becomes a portal, bridging metaphysical soundscapes with the pulse of the body.
Next, Orbit, a Manobo sound selector and art director from Kidapawan City, who transforms the dancefloor into a listening space. Weaving Manobo references into global bass and experimental electronics, Orbit’s sets become ceremonies, acts of remembrance, resistance, and movement. Through rhythm and ritual, ancestral memory meets contemporary sound.
Closing this feature is a bass-loving duo from Bantayan Island and Masbate, founders of Bantayan Bass Club. Rooted in provincial scenes yet boundless in curiosity, they bring wobbly basslines, broken beats, and playful unpredictability to the decks, treating the dancefloor as a conversation between DJ and dancer, instinct and surprise.
From island frequencies to indigenous futurism to metaphysical bass explorations, UGAT reminds us that underground sound is always connected to where we come from.
