Up Dharma Down

UDD, also known as Up Dharma Down, is the electronic trio of Paul Yap, Carlos Tañada, and Ean Mayor. Dubbed by Mark Coles of BBC Radio as “the Manila band most likely to cross over to the lucrative Anglophone market of North America,” UDD has racked up over 300 million streams on Spotify to date. Sometimes compared to The Chemical Brothers, Junior Boys, Disclosure, and Caribou, UDD has played across Asia, Canada, and the US. They’ve opened shows for Incubus, Bloc Party, The XX, Tegan and Sara, Cut Copy, Cigarettes After Sex, Tahiti 80, Hitomitoi, Ovall, and Yumi Zouma. Now working on their fifth album, the popular Filipino band is leaning further into their fondness for synth-pop, techno, and house, featuring collaborations with exciting young artists.
