Onra is a French hip-hop producer who had a simple idea: bring back a bunch of old vinyl from his native Vietnam, slice them up and make a record out of it. Those of you who enjoy the Asian-influenced beats of the RZA or Madlib need to immediately take note, as this is some brilliantly produced instrumental hip-hop. Short tracks separate the blends of hip-hop beats, occasional scratches, and the vinyl hiss of thirty year old Vietnamese pop. While I’ll admit I wish some of the tracks were longer, the scatterbrained approach works incredibly well for the east vs. west clash of musical styles.
