If it&#8217;s a music episode, you know Producer Mike is behind it!
In our 3rd and final episode in our Toronto series, we got to get a hangout with Michelle and Kat, two members of the &#8220;queer Filipinx kulintang gong punks&#8221; crew <a href="https://www.pantayomusic.ca/">Pantayo</a> whose incendiary yet soulful music defies even the sheer idea of a genre. We also got to check in with bedroom pop purveyor Denice Quimbo AKA <a href="https://rutheday.bandcamp.com/">Ruru</a>, a more recent Toronto transplant by way of Manila who describes herself as a &#8220;multi-disciplinary artist, producer, and singer-songwriter,&#8221; a description as you&#8217;ll soon hear is an incredible understatement.
