Heavy Mental Audio

About event

Get admission at venue! On Saturday, November 14, well be celebrating the second anniversary of Heavy Mental Audio. To commemorate the occasion, we're humbled to welcome South Korean DJ Kugel @kugel. to Manila for her Philippine debut. For those unfamiliar, Kugel is a resident of Dj Nobu's »Future Terror party series and curator of Weird Circle. This is a booking we've been looking forward to for quite some time. What first drew us to Kugel's work was her ability to move beyond the expectations of genre-weaving together strange and disparate sounds and transposing them into atypical narratives on the dancefloor. In fact, we deeply resonate with the spirit of&ẠạWeird Circle«, the bi-monthly series she curates in Seoul. Built around an openness to »weird and good sounds, « the series brings together artists and ideas that might otherwise exist outside of the usual club framework.' It's a sensibility that feels closely aligned with our own curiosities at Heavy Mental Audio. That being said, we're excited to finally bring Kugel to Manila and, for the last HMA of the year, venture a little further into stranger and more psychedelic territories. Joining Kugel in the »Main Room« are residents Duality and Shaoxing, guiding the room into ritualistic, techno-adjacent and abstract-leaning journeys. In theạiElbow Room«, detalye and D Waviee will explore more raw and foundational cuts that you've come to expect from this imprint. Join us on Sabado 00•O0 at »Apotheka«, from 21:00→04:00.
