Asian Lounge Background Music
Asian background music on Audiosocket pairs East Asian world instrumentation with downtempo, trip hop and chillout electronic production, and nearly nine in ten tracks are instrumental. Tokyo by BOYDE, Geisha by DjayPee and 21 century China by Fullscore keep percussion and keyboards under the lead world instruments, so the mood stays chill with a lounge swagger. It suits restaurant promos, spa videos, travel vlogs and cooking content that needs an unobtrusive, unmistakably Eastern underscore.

About this Playlist
About 86 percent of the tracks are instrumental, which is why the collection works as underscore for menus, spa walkthroughs and travel montages. The vocal exceptions are Heart by William French and Under the Waterfall by KASSEO, and Rimen's Steel Arms feat. Nomeli is supplied here as its instrumental version. If a voiceover has to carry the video, stick to the instrumental titles and the vocals will never compete with it.
The collection covers both, with ethnic fusion as the dominant sub-genre and specific tags for East Asia China and East Asia Japan. Titles make the split visible: Tokyo by BOYDE and Geisha by DjayPee sit on the Japanese side, while 21 century China by Fullscore and The Sishi Dragon by Monodeluxe lean Chinese. A few cuts, such as Eastern Market by Soulphonic Soundsystem, are broader world-lounge hybrids, so a regional edit should be checked track by track rather than assumed.
World instruments lead almost every track, backed by percussion and electronic production, with electric guitars and keyboards on roughly half. The production leans downtempo and trip hop with hip hop instrumental beats underneath several cuts, and the editorial sound references are Kruder and Dorfmeister, Tan Dun, Coldcut and Fila Brazilia, so expect lounge beats under traditional timbres rather than pure traditional performance. Moods run chill, swagger and happy, with ambient and calm cuts for slower scenes.
It sits low and steady, because the editorial tags on nearly every track include underscore, lounge and study, and chill is the most common mood. Tracks average around three and a half minutes, long enough to run under a full menu walkthrough or a treatment-room tour without an obvious restart. For spa content favor the ambient and calm titles; for a cooking or market sequence the swagger-tagged cuts with hip hop beats add movement.
A Content ID claim on a licensed Audiosocket track is disputed by stating that the music was licensed through Audiosocket; the license you received covers monetized YouTube video, so the claim is a matching notice, not a rights problem. Keep your license record handy when you dispute, and the claim can be released. The same license covers the video on social channels and in client work, and it is perpetual for that finished video.
