Hong Kong Record Exec Lists his Top Underground Asian Tracks. Cambodia Wins.

Over at & of Other Things, an excellent Vietnam-centric arts website, CAMA’s Eliza Lomas talked with Sean Hocking, owner of Hong Kong’s Saffron Records, who gave her a list of his current favorite, non-mainstream tracks from around Asia, including Cambodia, India and China (sorry, Vietnam).

Sean, an “avid” fan of SE Asian music, not only owns Saffron Records a “quaint bakery-cum-record shop,” but also a record label, Metal Postcards, which presses tracks that are anything but ordinary. Here's his list:

Krom, Cambodia:

The Cambodian Space Project, Cambodia

Dub Addiction, Cambodia

Paris, Shanghai

Gui Gui Sui Sui, Bejing

The Sleeves, Hong Kong

The Vinyl Records, The Himalayas, India

Zoo, Calcutta

Would you add any Vietnamese tracks to this list?
