"Manila Community Radio volunteers Sai Versailles and Sean Bautista explore artistic influence, individual agency, and community by immersing themselves in the world of budots, a Filipino grassroots dance music genre. We follow them as they undertake a trip to the Bisaya-speaking region in the Philippines to visit and interview one of budots' pioneers, DJ Love, and share their excitement as they prepare for a Boiler Room showcase that also features budots sonics. They ponder questions of mediating local subcultures and genres and transplanting them to middle-class, urban audiences. »Budots is the hardship of Filipinos. It’s one scratch, one peck. It’s the noises you hear in your surroundings,« says DJ Love. »It reflects the state of a person’s life.« ..."
