Anonymous Z announces guest DJ and playlist for 4th show.

Scientific Sound Asia presents a new edition of Not So Anonymous, hosted by Anonymous Z, featuring a guest mix from Cocosova. The station continues its role as a hub for local and expatriate underground culture, supporting DJs, promoters and electronic music communities across Asia.

Anonymous Z is widely known in Ho Chi Minh City for founding the Mad Circus Epic party series and for his long-standing commitment to underground culture. Before relocating to Vietnam, he established Glassroom, Bahrain’s first underground DJ community. Bringing together artists from diverse backgrounds, he organised events and after-hours sessions, both official and unofficial, that have since become part of local nightlife folklore.

Guided by the motto “They tried to bury us, but they forgot we were seeds,” Anonymous Z later joined the Banana Hustle crew, contributing to the collective’s energetic and tropical-leaning identity. While originally rooted in techno, his sound has evolved through deep digging across Afro, house, disco and funk, complemented by carefully selected techno and contemporary indie dance.

His reputation as a selector has led to performances at respected underground venues including Arcan, The Lighthouse, Broma and Vitamin D after parties. His sets are typically non-linear and improvised, shaped by the dancefloor rather than rigid structure. Tense, groove-driven basslines meet playful melodic storytelling, creating an emotional flow that constantly shifts in response to the room.

This episode of Not So Anonymous reflects that open-minded approach. Anonymous Z opens with a dark, psychedelic downtempo session, setting a deep and immersive atmosphere. The energy then transitions smoothly into guest DJ Cocosova’s set, which brings a cooler, groove-focused direction infused with rhythmic percussion and funky basslines. Together, the episode delivers a fluid journey across moods and styles, highlighting the wide spectrum of sounds that define the show.

Guest DJ (second hour) Cocosova.

This week’s guest DJ for the second hour is cocosova, a Russian DJ known for her refined taste and wide-ranging underground selections. Prior to relocating to Southeast Asia, she held residencies at respected venues.

These have included Jagger Bar, Neft Lounge, Matur Lounge and Lulu Rest, and appeared at events such as the Pavlovka One Love Festival and the Shihan Dance Competition in Russia in 2017. Her sets draw from a global collection of dancefloor-focused music, shaped by years of club experience.

With deep roots in old-school Black music and a strong soulful sensibility, Cocosova brings a rare balance of musical history and contemporary energy to the dance and eclectic music scene. A finalist in the DJ Battle Russia competition in 2018, she is particularly drawn to funky and groove-led sounds, regularly weaving soul into genres such as House, Nu Disco, Indie Dance, Funk and Tribal, while continuing to explore darker and more exotic underground styles.

Since moving to Vietnam in 2019, Cocosova has continued to build her presence with a clear mission, sharing carefully curated underground music with character, depth and taste. Her guest mix delivers a confident, groove-rich journey that reflects both her musical roots and her evolving global outlook.

Anonymous Z opens the episode with a deep and exploratory first hour, rooted in downtempo, folk and psychedelic textures. Tracks such as Taksim Cruising Walk and Analogue Voodoo introduce an organic, slow-burning atmosphere, while Folha De Jurema and La Luna Y El Lobo expand the mood with earthy rhythms and ritualistic melodies. This opening section feels introspective and cinematic, guided by subtle grooves and global influences.

The journey gradually shifts toward darker and more dance-oriented territory. Halay and Carbone bring neofolk and dark disco elements into play, before Naima injects tribal energy and percussive drive. As the tempo rises, No Deal To Seal, Bien Turro and Addiction steer the set firmly into indie dance territory, balancing hypnotic basslines with underground club sensibilities.

Cocosova takes over the second hour with a playful yet carefully curated blend of disco, world music and house. Zund Ab Ghee Vubey and Normalizo deliver colourful disco edits, while Seker Oglan and Cigrik highlight Turkish folk and psychedelic disco influences. This section feels warm, expressive and rhythm-focused, leaning into dancefloor-friendly edits without losing its global character.

The episode closes with a confident mix of house, electronica and beatdown disco. Slow Motion Cowboy and Undelo keep the groove fluid and melodic, while Screwvenier and Sugar Sugar introduce funk and classic house energy. Final tracks like Plane Goes East and Feel The Fire round out the show with a modern underground edge, leaving Not So Anonymous episode 4 as a rich, genre-crossing session that flows naturally from downtempo introspection to late-night dancefloor momentum.
