At The Standard, music is part of the atmosphere—shaping how people arrive, linger, and connect.
On December 30, just ahead of the New Year, Standard Sounds took over The Standard, Hua Hin as Réjizz transformed the check-in lobby into a shared moment. His Thai-Funk sound blended jazz, soul, Mo-Lam rhythms, and Luukthung melodies, flowing seamlessly between Thai and English. Familiar yet unexpected, deeply local yet globally fluent, it set the tone for a festive pause before the year turned.
As the set unfolded, guests slowed down. Conversations stretched. The lobby shifted from a place of transit into a place of presence, wrapped in an intimate, soulful soundscape.
Seen through the Standard Sounds lens, Thailand’s 2025 Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, Bangkok-born rapper, singer, and producer Réjizz occupies an in-between space—rooted in local sound while open to global influence. Emerging from Bangkok’s underground scene and now appearing on international stages such as Wonderfruit, Hola Shaka, and Australia’s Asiatopa, he reflects a new generation of Thai artists navigating culture on their own terms. As the first Thai artist signed to Marshall Records, his trajectory marks a meaningful moment for Thailand’s creative voice on the global stage.
His latest EP, The New Era (2025), is his most ambitious work to date. Praised by critics across Asia, Europe, and the U.S., the project moves through cinematic production and emotional depth—drifting from smoky jazz-club moods to Isaan countryside grooves and neon-lit Bangkok rooftops, without ever losing its pulse.
A moment to close out the year—and a hint of what’s next for Standard Sounds in Hua Hin.
