ANGKOR POP!  NOW IN STOCK Here it comes! and it goes up to Eleven! 11 brilliant new Cambodian acts - compiled by Jason Shaw and Julien Poulson (Cambodian Space Project) - selecting acts that we dig but also each of the artists has a Cambodian element - either a singer of musicians or is embedded in the contemporary Cambodian scene - as well as a fusion with Western influences, in this case Iggy Pop. We asked each act to pick their favorite Iggy song bearing in mind that half would have never heard of Iggy Pop, as a way to frame the project and throw out the challenge for our artists to record covers for this special compilation project - something that documents more than just a bit of social history here in Cambodia's emerging arts scene. It's also something that we decided to do in the year of Iggy Pop's 70th birthday as a tribute to one of the more rock'n'roll's most iconic figures - a made-in-Cambodia tribute to the life and times of James Newell Osterberg, Jr., known professionally as Iggy Pop.  At the time we started on this venture, nearly a year ago, Iggy was already spinning The Cambodian Space Project on his own BBC radio show. "I am totally down with what you want to do, so please consider that a blessing from me."
– Iggy Pop
