Chamon – Crystal Magic CD | 2012 Independent Hip Hop / LoFi / Instrumental Album | Cham Records

Released in 2012 on independent label Cham Records, Crystal Magic is the debut album by Chamon — a deeply atmospheric blend of instrumental hip hop, jazzy beats, soulful sampling and underground boom bap energy.

Inspired by the legendary sounds of Nujabes, Fat Jon and the timeless anime Samurai Champloo, Crystal Magic captures a musical era where emotion, storytelling and dusty drums met cinematic melodies.

The 16-track album features a unique balance of instrumental productions and vocal collaborations, combining introspective beat work with performances from friends and fellow musicians connected to the Dutch Academy for Pop Music, where Chamon studied between 2007–2011.

The project also marks an important milestone: the artist’s first international collaborations with musicians from the USA, laying the foundation for a global underground journey that would continue for years.

This physical CD edition features artwork by renowned graffiti artist Jan Is De Man, with final design work by Tom Rietveld, making Crystal Magic not just an album, but a collectible piece of independent hip hop history.
