In The Spotlight

Paco Versailles – “Libertine”

This funky duo, consisting of songwriter and producer Ryan Merchant of Capital Cities fame and guitarist and composer Vahagni, mixes flamenco guitar rhythms and disco-esque electronic production into a refreshing sound. Named after their influences like Spanish guitarist Paco De Lucia and Versailles-based French electro-funk duo Daft Punk, they debuted with “Unwind” early this year.

Reaching across time and space, their new single is a groovelicious journey with stops at 70s disco, 80s funk and neo-electro soul. Instantly infectious, the tune kicks off with a retro bassline, wah-wah guitars and a cheeky flute, but soon the blazing brass is set free to elevate it to the dance floor banger it truly is. And with its virulent vitality, you’ll definitely keep this lush earworm on repeat.

August Wahh – “Know What I Want”

Born in General Santos City, this Neo-Soul singer, songwriter and DJ has been a force on the Philippine music scene since 2007, when she moved to Manila to pursue her passion. She used to be the vocalist of soul band Chocolate Grass. As a solo artist, she’s collaborated with No Rome, shared the stage with Fred Wesley, opened for Erykah Badu and released her debut “Sahara” in 2019.

Soaked in sultry soul and colored in some jazzy hues, her new single is a scrumptious smooth groove. With a magical orchestration of a melodious rhythm, enchanting synths and her bewitching, honey-sweet R&B vocals, she conjures up a spellbinding soundscape. And with the addition of just the right amount of auditory attitude, this is an euphonic and ear-stroking jewel you know you want.
