    Bulacan-based alternative rock band Saliw has released a new music video for their song, "Mananatili," a moving tribute to the memory of a loved one who has passed away. The song's emotional lyrics and soaring melody capture the pain and heartache of losing someone dear, while also offering hope and comfort in the face of grief. With "Mananatili," Saliw has created a musical masterpiece that speaks to the universal experience of losing someone we love.   The song's haunting verses echoes the feelings of longing and regret that often accompany such a loss, while its tender chorus offer a glimpse of the happy memories that sustain us in difficult times. "We wrote this song as a way to honor the memory of Al and Bon's fathers, Jayson's little brother, and Lei's grandmother who all passed away," Saliw said. "It was a difficult and emotional process, but also cathartic and healing.   We hope that listeners who are going through a similar experience will find comfort in this song and that it will remind them that they are not alone in their grief."   The song's music video, directed by Von Ryan de Lacy, is a touching ode to an elderly man's love for his deceased wife. The song's poignant lyrics and soulful melody capture the pain and loneliness of grief, while the music video adds a powerful visual dimension to the story. It features images of the couple reflecting on memories, interspersed with shots of nature and the passing of time.   The song is available now on all major streaming platforms, and fans can also watch the music video on The Last C's official YouTube channel.

     New partnership will grant Mint students access to educational workshops and discounted distribution plans while providing TuneCore artists with access to Mint’s studio facilities (Manila, Philippines) DATE - In the Philippines, musicians and singers can be found anywhere. What sets them apart is that such talent is not only ingrained in them from birth, but also because Filipinos, as a culture, are in love with music. As artists work to find success, the rise of digital music services has helped democratize the music industry, providing more opportunities for these artists to be heard and find their fans. TuneCore, the leading development partner for self-releasing artists—owned by Believe, one of the world’s leading digital music companies—aims to provide access to music distribution services for independent artists at all stages of their careers, helping to further reduce industry gatekeeping, and ensure self-releasing artists can get their music out into the world. Their latest endeavor to support the next generation of Filipino music and music creators is a monumental partnership with Mint College, the only school in the Philippines offering a degree in Music Business. The new partnership between TuneCore and Mint College serves both companies’ goals of expanding educational programs for creators and facilitating opportunities for student musicians to pursue careers in music. As the leading creative school offering programs such as Music Business, Multimedia, and Film, Mint provides students with a solid foundation on which to build their careers. TuneCore enhances the student experience by exposing them to real world wisdom via lectures and workshops led by industry experts. This will also allow them to flex their musical muscles under the guidance of people who have not only ridden the waves of the music industry, but who have helped shape it as well.  Mint College’s Executive Vice President Hendrik Kiamzon commented, “We already have a lot of advantages, given the kind of education our students have from their professors coming from the music business industry. The partnership with TuneCore is just one more thing that legitimizes our cross-disciplinary approach.”   This alliance also addresses one of the bigger challenges facing aspiring musicians: catching that crucial first break. “One of our missions is to do our part to drive emerging markets to maturity across the region.  By partnering with Mint College, we aim to bridge the gap between aspiring student musicians and the music industry,” explains TuneCore’s head for Southeast Asia, Cyrus Chen on what they bring to the table. “We will provide networking and performance opportunities, mentorship, and workshops for the students, among many other initiatives.” This is a testament to TuneCore’s mission in providing the most innovative and expansive suite of digital music services to artists at all stages of their careers around the world. The partnership between TuneCore and Mint College was signed, sealed, and delivered at a ceremonial signing at Mint’s new satellite campus in Ortigas. Cyrus was joined by Believe’s Country Head for the Philippines, Georgette Tengco, while Kiamzon was joined by Mint College’s Frankie Endriga, Board Director, and Mony Romana, Program Head of Marketing. This formalized an initiative that is potentially lifechanging for many student musicians. Tengco commented, “Believe’s mission is to develop independent artists in the digital world via the solutions they need to grow their audience at every stage of their career. Arming student musicians with the right tools from the very start, while helping ensure that they are free to do what they are passionate about. Simultaneously, we open doors to opportunities that were previously only available to professional musicians. This partnership aims to do all that for the students of Mint College. The combined forces of Believe, TuneCore, and Mint will allow for a greater network to bring these aspiring talents closer to their dreams and ambitions in the music industry.”This initiative of TuneCore follows on the heels of innovative programs that they have recently launched in support of self-releasing artists. The first is the Unlimited Release plan, which allows artists the greatest flexibility in releasing music at an affordable price. while refining their sound. This is followed closely by the introduction of GCash as a payment method on the platform as part of TuneCore’s localization efforts for the Philippines. Lastly, they recently presented their latest feature launch – Splits.TuneCore takes into account the importance of collaboration in making music. This is, oftentimes, the key ingredient in making a hit record. At the same time, this can also lead to discord among the collaborators when it comes time to divide royalty splits. The Splits feature introduces an efficient solution to this, allowing the artists to input royalty percentages for each collaborator, and providing automatic payouts along with comprehensive payout details. Artists are able to easily edit their splits at any time, adding or removing collaborators, and updating percentages. This will allow more time to focus on their music. Andreea Gleeson, Chief Executive Officer, TuneCore, explained further, “Our goal is to make our artists’ lives easier so that they can focus on making music. For years, self-releasing artists at all stages of their careers have been required to take on additional support roles to sustain their artistic endeavors. By offering splits, TuneCore artists can now spend less time being accountants and more time making great music.” From every stage in an artist’s journey, TuneCore, alongside Believe, hopes to bring creativity in music to fruition. Arming the next generation of Filipino artists with a solid educational foundation, via the Mint College partnership, is what will redefine and reshape how the future of the industry will look. With ample support via innovative tools and programs, there is nothing but greatness ahead for these artists. ****FOR MORE INFORMATION: Bong Andres(insert designation)[email protected] Elizabeth S.

    There is a new wave amongst the youth in hiphop that is taking over the world through a quiet storm. Its animated, filled with gut wrenching lyrics, full of energy, a groove like no other and a familiarity to the nature of gangster rap. Leading the way are gang-affiliated groups but making a loud noise in the Manila Drill hiphop scene is TriFluoride - a rap trio composed of BL, Strict and Yung Youz.   TriFluoride hails from Carmona by way of Zamboanga, they mean to takeover the drill scene with their lyrics, music and their constant output for the community. What started out as young kids skating, playing video games, their common struggles and love for the music - TriFluoride is set to make waves for Drill Hiphop. Drill Hiphop speaks to the youth. It has its own dance moves, which if you know - is very inclusive, different from how the lyrics portray it and fun. Hiphop music’s freshness in the 80’s, is this years Drill. It’s still about having fun and building with your community.   These kids speak their native dialect - Tausug; on their next tracks plus they rap in English and Tagalog. Showing their strength in relating to people and being a voice of a region south of the Philippines.        Last May 1, 2023 they launched their third single and music video “Bloody Mary” in Cirqua Makati to a packed crowd. Alongside them were their counterparts who opened for them - 4116, ES Fellas, GBG ZA, Lightskeen Baby, Macaria Hustla, Red Gang, Throwout Gang, Wuzgood Music all came to perform. Morobeats then came out to perform as well lead by Fateeha, JMara and Med Messiah. It was a gathering where we saw TriFluoride’s “Bloody Mary” music video for the first time directed by Matthew “Alex” Wojciechowski (The Strict Goose) with the brilliance of Eyad Sayeed of Cereal Clicker behind the camera and the crowd loved it! DJ Waffster, FR:(WN and DJ Vance provided the soundscapes for the night. The show was hosted by none other but Rekta Sa Kalye’s very own, Droppout. There were also sighting of Syke, J. Estacio from Hella Solid, Ghost Worldwide, STPHN and more just to show you these kids have a grasp of what they are about to become. The event was sponsored by The Hundred Percent, a local fashion & lifestyle brand. Drill music is all about the energy and groove of the youth. “We find connection through Drill Hiphop and share the same bond with each other.” says Yung Youz. Times are changing - with hiphop as the current pop culture and we give this generation such control of their lives early on. With lyrics bent on getting your chick, how one is better than the other has always been a typical limeric in hiphop worldwide. For TriFluoride, their music helps them get through their anxieties and project a new version of an old ‘the world is mine’ energy. It is important that the new generation of rappers find themselves ready to ride any wave, as BL would put it “I’ve done R&B songs before, but I fell in love with Drill - but we know how to adapt.” Pinoy hiphop will continue to surprise casual listeners but keep the die-hard’s optimistic.   TriFluoride has release songs “War”, “Macarena” and now “Bloody Mary” is distributed by Neumont Records. Bloody Mary will be out on digital streaming platforms soon. You can check out their music videos out on YouTube just search “TRIFLUORIDE”.  Follow, like and share TriFluoride on their socials:   Facebook.com/TriFluoride404 Instagram.com/TriFluoride_
