DRIP launches 2nd Album, IDENTITY THEFT, the first CREATIVE COMMONS full-length album in the Philippines.
Local electronica group DRIP will be launching their independently produced 2nd full length album entitled Identity Theft on March 15, Saturday, 8pm at Magnet Café High Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Special guests Us-2-Evil-O, Corporate Lo-Fi, Yosha, and Mark Zero will also be performing. Copies of the CD will be sold for the first time on the event.
DRIP's 2nd album introduces a first in the Philippines—the enhanced CD contains shared files of some of the song’s elements that DJs and remixers can use to create their own remixes of the songs. The DJs and remixers from all over the world can now use these songs in their sets and can claim them as their own remix provided that they provide a share-alike attribution to the original DRIP songs that they are remixing. This explains the tag line “SOME RIGHTS RESERVED” on the album in lieu of the usual “ALL RIGHTS RESERVED". The full legal license can be viewed on the Creative Commons website at
www.creativecommons.org. DRIP becomes the first Filipino music group to release Creative Commons licensed full-length album.
What is DRIP?
It's the classic trip hop set-up: three quiet Filipino guys in the background to tweak knobs and play instruments, with a hot Filipina female vocalist to enthrall the audience with her voice. But Drip goes beyond mere trip-hop band clichés: they are meta-glamorous, a little dark, and seductively experimental. “Capable of giving you simulated bliss,” wrote the Manila Times about the quartet. With an EP independently released in August of 2003 and constant live performances, Drip's cult status grew with Manila's musical cognoscenti. Drip's 1st full-length album called “Far Side of the World” is still out from Terno Recordings and is also available on the CDBABY.COM website.
DRIP is Beng Calma-Alcazaren on Vocals, Malek Lopez on live keyboards, sound design & programming, Arvin "Caliph8" Nogueras on Turntables & FX and Ian "Morse" Magbanua on beats, samples & programming.
