BLASTER’s catchy four-on-the-floor single “Disko Forever” first came out in Japanese. Now, listeners can hear this song with its original Tagalog lyrics. This version has just been released under Island Records Philippines on major streaming platforms. The single is inspired by the influential musical genre of the late 1970s, driven by BLASTER’s guitar work and distinct vocal style.

BLASTER says that the song was really meant to be in Tagalog, and a friend translated it into Japanese for its initial release. When asked about this project, he commented, “Words [in translation] can change a lot in a song, so even though the words are just translated, it feels really different.” He says that the original lyrics feel more natural and flow more smoothly.

The inspiration for “Disko Forever,” BLASTER says, was hearing a certain dance track on the radio. He then recorded and produced it in his home studio. As a result, he has created a track that still remains faithful to the music that inspired it, yet adding something new which will excite listeners. His work as a solo artist, much of which is still on its way to release, aims to balance sonic adventurousness and remarkable restraint. This new release is no exception.

When asked whether this song is part of a bigger project, BLASTER said, “This is definitely a part of a bigger story.” We look forward to hearing more of this musical story. Until then, he wants us to listen to “Disko Forever” and just dance.
