tajima hal -  Perilous Dimension Feat. Lidly

The Astrioasia Crown & The Dusty Apsara Breaks is an instrumental album rooted primarily in Cambodian musical heritage, shaped through a modern, global lens.
As a Cambodian artist, this project is a personal fusion of ancestral sound, lived identity, and contemporary production.

Traditional Cambodian melodic sensibilities — echoing instruments such as the khim, roneat-inspired textures, and flute-like motifs — are blended with dusty rhythms, deep bass foundations, and Western-influenced beat culture. The result is a soundscape that feels ceremonial yet street-level, ancient yet current.

The album draws inspiration from Apsara symbolism, royal and spiritual imagery, and the quiet strength of Cambodian culture, while openly embracing influences from other parts of the world. Rather than imitation, this is interpretation — honoring roots while allowing them to evolve.

Production-wise, the focus remains on space, clarity, and mood. Minimal arrangements, steady mid-tempo grooves, and atmospheric reverbs create a hypnotic continuity across the project, making it ideal for immersive listening, visual storytelling, and cinematic contexts.

The Astrioasia Crown & The Dusty Apsara Breaks stands as a cultural bridge — Cambodian at its core, global in its expression.

The Massage

This is a beautiful new arrangement of sounds from the world of hip hop and 90s soul, including Rhodes Piano in various styles incorporating the glassy e piano in also, mixing with guitar chords and flute to finish off all layered over a fantastic drum kit and bass line.
