Originally released in 1980, After Midnight draws heavy influence from soul and funk contemporaries in the US as well as Latin America, in particular the famed Brazilian percussionist Paulinho da Costa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3938799990\/size=small\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=0f91ff\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/samasamarecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/after-midnight\"\u003eAfter Midnight by Boy Katindig\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s a testament to his musical prowess that Katindig weaves effortlessly between styles and tempos. His reverence for Paulinho da Costa extends far, with covers of several songs from the latter’s 1979 Happy People album. This includes slow-burner ‘Déjà Vu’ written by Isaac Hayes originally for Dionne Warwick; on the Filipino instrumental version, local legends Jun Regalado and Roger Herrera (from Regalado’s ‘Pinoy Funk’ single) are reunited on drums and bass respectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Katindig’s original compositions hold just as much weight and unique personality: title track ‘After Midnight’ opens with a sultry funk serenade reminiscent of The Isley Brothers, and quickly transforms into a catchy, blistering, saxophone chorus that brims with swagger. Hidden B-side gem ‘Got The Need’ is an uptempo tribute to batucada that would not be out of place in a jazzy house\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eset, and boasts increasingly elaborate and psychedelic solos from Katindig on keys and Ben Concepcion on soprano sax.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, ‘Love Till the End of Time’ is a masterclass in instrumental disco funk, penned by the prolific Greg Phillanganes who at that same time was writing for many of the greats including Chaka Khan, George Benson, Stevie Wonder, The Jacksons and Cheryl Lynn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDominating the Manila jazz scene of the 1970s and 80s, Boy Katindig hailed from musical royalty, with his father Romy Katindig and other family members having pioneered the Latin jazz sound in the region. After successfully carving out a niche in modern fusion in the Philippines, he eventually moved to the west-coast US and set up his own label in the 90s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis album is lovingly and officially reissued by Sama Sama Records, a boutique label from DJ and collector Norsicaa, who ran the esteemed Soundway Records for 8 years and released the compilation Ayo Ke Disco in late 2024.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased June 12, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRestored and mastered by Frank Merritt at The Carvery Studio, London\u003cbr\u003eArtwork restoration by Javi Bayo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial thanks to Chris Campbell\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sama Sama Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46544371679393,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/1427\/files\/boy.jpg?v=1781513767","url":"https:\/\/store.greennoiserecords.com\/products\/katindig-boy-after-midnight-new-lp","provider":"Green Noise Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
