I gotta say, I'm really impressed with the VTech field reporting projects, traveling to various countries in order to dig up crates of good music which is what we are all about here at RVS. In VTech's most recent escapade, Frosty the field reporter travels to Cambodia in search of some Cambodian Musical Heritage however is stumped when he learns that the majority of the vinyl records along with most films and books had been burned and destroyed by the Khmer Rouge during the Communist Era. After extensive searching, the VTech crew was able to uncover various old cassette tapes featuring Cambodian pop music which has seemed to rule the musical scene there for many decades. As a result, We are now presented with "A Cambodian Cassette Mix".
"According to Frosty (Dublab), he loves places with “loose and blurry lines.” Magnetized by moments of mystery that each place possesses. Cambodia of all places fits this exact description. It’s the land of the spontaneity and adventure. Amidst the clutter and chaos, Cambodia finds a way to find peace and harmony. It struggles with its dark past under the regime of a tyrant and perseveres."
