I’m looking for song suggestions to add to my playlist. It’s meant to be a collection of EDM songs that use oriental or Asian Instruments as the main feature, or at least to a noticeable degree.
With this description alone, it’s easy to get lost in more specific genres like tropical house+Balkan instruments or lofi beats+flute/string-instruments or Indian/Bollywood EDM. When I look at song suggestions from YouTube or Spotify, it’s usually focussing on one of these aspects and only suggesting that type of music.
What I want instead are songs that are closer to mainstream (western) EDM that use these instruments to change things up a bit and add a spin to the standard formula. I’m trying to get a variety of songs that try to achieve this in different ways. I’d be happy if you post songs here which could fit in your opinion, and hope this description wasn’t too convoluted.
How about those two:
Kyoto by Approaching Nirvana https://youtu.be/Yb5tbOtpKUY
Gunmetal black by Varien https://youtu.be/_tIM1JK1YpM
Those suggestions are on point! I added them both.
Approaching Nirvana alao has the song “Cairo” in the style of Egypt. Might be worth for you looking into it.
