Disco Gold [Ermita, 1979] Homeroom overlaid with gold shimmerBy 1979, Ermita was the neon lit playground of the "Manila Sound." This ink is inspired by the peak of the disco fever that gripped clubs like Where Else? and the legendary Stargazer. It captures the shimmering brass of Leandro Locsins brutalist architecture reflecting the rhythmic glitter of a spinning mirror ball. It is the color of a city dancing through a fever dream, where opulent champagne toasts met the sweat and swagger of the late seventies.
