Heavy Mental Audio v.11

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗱: 𝗛𝗠𝗔𝘃.𝟭𝟭 On Saturday, November 14, we’ll 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 »Weird 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.¹ It’s a sensibility that feels closely aligned with our own curiosity 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 the 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 the »Elbow 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 ❶❶•❶❹ at »Apotheka«, from 21:00→04:00. Pre-sale tickets »PHP650« are now available via the Helixpay link in our bio. 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗯𝘆 @joshuabrionesyap Kugel  Duality  Shaoxing  detalye D Waviee
