  • Razorback and Urbandub Sign Exclusive Deal with Anotoys Collectiverse

    Two of the biggest names in modern Pinoy rock are making their way to the metaverse. Bands Razorback and Urbandub have signed a deal to create premium digital collectibles with Anotoys Collectiverse, the country’s leading marketplace for celebrity-approved NFTs. Through these works of digital art, the bands will be making their metaverse, where fans across the world will be able to connect with them in innovative ways.

    Anotoys Razorback

    Razorback was a fixture of the Pinoy hard rock scene in the 90s, playing sold-out gigs at the iconic Club Dredd, among other noteworthy venues. Their high-octane music earned them international renown, and the band had the privilege of opening for legendary acts like Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, and Silverchair. Singles like “Voodoo Who Do” and “Payaso” continue to be listed among some of the most influential OPM songs of the 90s.

    Anotoys Urbandub

    Indie rockers Urbandub took control of Philippine airwaves in the mid-2000s to 2010s with the anthemic “First of Summer” and the emotionally raw “A New Tattoo”. The band was a constant presence at the NU Rock Awards, with 6 wins and an impressive 36 nominations. They’ve also made waves in the international scene, garnering attention throughout Southeast Asia with their Singapore tour, and winning “Best Group” at the 2008 Junk Magazine Regional Music Awards in Malaysia.

    The bands’ freshly signed deals with Anotoys Collectiverse is their step towards developing a presence in the metaverse. The premium NFTs made through these partnerships will allow fans to not only own a valuable piece of memorabilia, but also to interact with the bands in never-before-seen ways. Collectiverse NFTs will give owners access to exclusive events and private gigs with the rockers, as well as unlock avatars and other items for metaverse-enabled games.

    Being part of The Collectiverse’s Web3 fandom ecosystem also extends the bands’ reach to a more global audience. Razorback and Urbandub fans around the world will be able to interact with each other on the Collectiverse’s platform, and connect the bands to new fans abroad.

    Razorback and Urbandub were—and continue to be—major forces in the Pinoy rock scene, with their music becoming pillars of the vibrant Filipino music industry. Through their new partnerships with Anotoys Collectiverse, they’ll soon be pioneers in bringing OPM to the metaverse.

  • “Seoul Vibe” Trailer Unveils this August’s Coolest Crew

    A fresh new trailer and poster for Seoul Vibe were released showcasing the ensemble cast of Sanggye-dong Supreme Team –  a crew of stylish drivers and mechanics to uncover some fishy business involving a VIP slush fund. Here is what to expect in the coolest drive this summer!  

    • With a rhythmic beat from a tape titled ‘Seoul Vibe mixtape 1988’, the trailer kicks off
    • The stylish Sanggye-dong Supreme Team receives an irresistible offer from Prosecutor Ahn, jumping into an unofficial case revolving around the VIP slush fund. 
    • On fully customized hip vehicles the crew in disguise starts to deliver President Kang’s slush funds – unofficially the second most influential person in 1988 Korea.
    • Numerous obstacles stand in their way, including the threat from Director Lee, who finds the crew’s actions to be fishy.
    • With hip music and exhilarating car action on track, Seoul Vibe will deliver the coolest ride this August. 
    • The poster reveals the crew’s (aka “Bbagkku fam”) hip hideout. 
    • The poster lines up all five members along with the star ensemble cast – Yoo Ah-in (as Dong-wook, the supreme driver with perfect drifting skills), Ko Kyung-Pyo (as John Woo, the Club DJ), Lee Kyoo-hyung (as Bok-nam, the human navigator), Park Ju-hyun (as Yoon-hee, the talented motorcyclist) and Ong Seong-wu (as Joon-gi, the mechanic) will uncover the truth behind a massive money laundering ring. 
    • The stylish old-school props underscore the hip retro (Hip-tro) vibe – bold gold chains, retro boombox, chic bike, navy jumpsuits and more. 
    • Director Moon Hyun-sung said, “The first step of Seoul Vibe was hip hop,” attributing hip hop music and culture from the 80s as one of the movie’s motif. The stylish Sanggye-dong Supreme Team will reflect a combination of retro and hip hop (“hip-tro”) vibe.
    • Cast Yoo Ah-in (from Hellbound), who will transform into a new image in Seoul Vibe said, “From start to finish, it was like being and hanging out with friends my age”, highlighting the chemistry within the crew.

  • Here are the Visual Art Exhibitions at this Year’s Cinemalaya

    As the Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival goes on-site, five (5) parallel exhibitions for Cinemalaya viewers are presented.

    The exhibitions include the Cinemalaya 18 Competition Films Exhibit which showcases primarily memorabilia from the set and some behind-the-scenes’ images from the 11 full-length films and 12 short films.  This exhibit can be found at the Bulwagang Carlos V. Francisco or the Little Theater Lobby located on the ground floor of CCP.

    To showcase the roster of films for screening at this year’s festival, Cinemalaya 18 Festival Posters Exhibit at the Pasilyo Vicente Manansala or the Second Floor Hallway Gallery displays the film posters for the Cinemalaya 18 Main Competition (Full-Length and Short Films), Retrospective Shorts section, Tribute, and 34th Gawad Alternatibo.  It also carries the poster of the opening film, Leonor Will Never Die, and the closing films — the documentaries Delikado followed by We Don’t Dance for Nothing.  This is a first for the festival to close its run with documentary films to mark their importance in succeeding festivals.

    An exhibition highlighting the recently conferred National Artists for Film and Broadcast Arts at the Pasilyo Guillermo Tolentino or Third Floor Hallway Gallery is dedicated to Nora Aunor, Marilou Diaz-Abaya, and Ricardo “Ricky” Lee.

    To provide a glimpse of their artistic practices, images from the films written by Lee namely Himala (1982) featuring Aunor, and the trilogy Brutal (1980), Moral (1982), and Karnal (1983) directed by Diaz-Abaya are featured on the exhibit.

    Cinemalaya Filmmakers’ Images Exhibit presents filmmakers who have joined the competition since 2005, along with their award-winning film entries.  Located at the Bulwagang Juan Luna or the Main Gallery on the third floor, Cinemalaya filmmakers in the past 18 years can leave their autographs on their photos while visitors can drop by at the Cinemalaya Lounge by Latitude.

    Idan Cruz, better known as actor John Lloyd Cruz captures the Cinemalaya 18 Filmmakers’ Portraits displayed at the Main Theater Lobby on the first floor.  Since 2017, Cruz has been working on art photography and videography.  This year, Cinemalaya chose the renowned actor as its official exhibition photographer – a shift in roles as the actor once directed in front of the camera took the turn to guide the filmmakers behind the scene for their photoshoot.  Cruz took portraits of 18 filmmakers among the 26 in competition.

    These five exhibitions are part of the 18th Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival ongoing at the CCP until August 14.  You can visit them at the CCP from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.

    For more details about the exhibitions, visit the CCP and Cinemalaya websites.  Follow the CCP and Cinemalaya official social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

  • Check Out the New Genshin-Like Game ‘Tower of Fantasy’

    A new fantasy open-world RPG is heading to PC and mobile this August!

    Titled Tower of Fantasy (ToF), this new game is pretty similar to Genshin Impact, the RPG game that took the world by storm. Aside from the similar aesthetics of anime characters and lush world, the new game also adds a futuristic spin to its alien world of Aida. You can also play with friends in its shared open world.

    Here’s the official synopsis for the game:

    In Tower of Fantasy, dwindling resources and a lack of energy have forced mankind to leave earth and migrate to Aida, a lush and habitable alien world. There, they observed the comet Mara and discovered an unknown but powerful energy called “Omnium” contained in it. They built the Omnium Tower to capture Mara, but due to the influence of Omnium radiation, a catastrophic disaster occurred on their new homeworld.

    ToF also promises an interesting roster of characters, each with unique weapons and backstories you can explore. Some of these characters have already been revealed on their website, including Zeke, Shirli, Nemesis, and Frigg.

    So when can you play Tower of Fantasy here in the Philippines? You can now pre-load the game for free on PC, Android, and iOS, but the global servers will officially open tomorrow, August 11. For more information, visit the official Tower of Fantasy website.
