Theory Of Face (Trials + DJ Ad-Fu) – Cambodian Rock update

Jim Steps

Cambodian Rock is the new joint emcee Trials and DJ Ad-Fu wrote for the Ironlak guys, who needed something to go with a video of the their team smashing their new ‘Reload’ cans. The ‘Reload’ cans are bigger than their standard tins, low-oder with massive fat caps custom, totally crazy shit, pretty much designed for danger…with that the guys set out to make the track crush accordingly. Theory Of Face is the name of Trials and DJ Ad-Fu’s (did cuts on Bootleg It on The Hangover)  psychedelic side project, born from their common love of stoner rock and spontaneity.
