Check the full story below:

The Sounds of VTech / Dntel: Guardian (Cambodian Field Report Remix)   

"Angkor Wat is Cambodia’s greatest glory. It is the apex of the classical Khmer age. The temple shines in symmetry and grandeur under the wide Cambodian sky. A broad moat has helped keep its expansive sprawl safe for over eight centuries but this physical barrier is not its sole key to strength. When Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat he did so with faith infused in every inch. Into the walls, pillars and gates his craftspeople carved deities to protect against demons and invaders. These spirits of stone were mystic guardians. There are powerful spells still today and one such charm is before you now. Dntel has created a new talisman to keep towers from tumbling. This song reflects from the walls of Angkor Wat and casts a spell that will keep its majesty intact for the far future."

Daedelus - Broken Radio Bliss (Cambodian Field Report Remix) [DWNLD]

I recently posted the second field report by VTech's Frosty in which he explores the historical music scene of Cambodia: Frosty's Magnetic Bananas: A Cambodian Cassette Mix [DWNLD] Well as Ras G and Take created a couple of banger remixes for the "Fly Thai High!" Thailand field report, Daedelus has composed the first remix for the "Cambodian Cassette Mix."

The Sounds of VTech / Broken Radio Bliss Remix: Daedelus   

"Daedelus embraced the crackle and fuzz of Cambodian 1960’s rock & pop cassettes to create this buoyant remix. In this exclusive download to The Sounds of VTech listen to his slithering synth waves saunter on and hear the scattered magnetic fragments floating from every corner of your headphones. This rhythmic pattern is one of multiple flashes through time. Daedelus ping-pongs between the past when these Cambodian jams ruled the nation, and the present, where the original songs are golden ghosts, audible only to those lucky enough for an encounter. His “broken radio bliss” remix is full of serious wow and flutter."

"The ideal way to listen to this cut-up would be with a pair of headphones attached to a knock-off Sony Walkman with its sticker peeling away from the heat of the sun. But for those who don’t have one handy, we’re pretty confident that any way you play it, this remix won’t disappoint. So close your eyes and cruise the busy Cambodian streets with the radio turned up and Daedelus as your guide."
