Anonymous Z has announced guest DJ Camille Rodriguez for his show this Sunday. Scientific Sound Asia is the local and expatriate electronic music online radio station, promoter and DJ agency for the Asian region.


Anonymous Z is widely recognised in Saigon, Vietnam, as the founder of the Mad Circus Epic parties. Known for creating organised chaos at the heart of the underground, he previously established Bahrain’s first underground DJ community, Glassroom.


Leading a tight-knit group of misfits from around the world, he hosted parties and after-parties, both legal and unofficial, that are still remembered as legendary within the local nightlife. His guiding mantra at the time was, “They tried to bury us, but they forgot we were seeds.”


After joining the Banana Hustle crew and their energetic tropical flavour, he broadened his musical approach. Although originally devoted to Techno, he developed a strong passion for digging unique selections across Afro, House, Disco and Funk. He complements these influences with carefully chosen Techno and more recent Indie Dance.


His abilities as a selecta have opened the doors to many of Vietnam’s key underground venues, including Arcan, The Lighthouse, Broma and Vitamin D after-parties. His sets are often improvised and non-linear, shaped by the movement of the dance floor and built across a wide range of styles. Tense and groovy basslines, expressive and storytelling melodies and a playful sense of emotion are essential parts of the Anonymous Z sound.

The Second Edition of Not So Anonymous delivers two hours of techno hosted by Anonymous, who sets the tone before guest artist Camille Rodriguez takes over. A free spirit positioned at the fringes of a network that is often too predictable, Camille stands apart as an artist driven by singularity. His devotion to music is rooted in integrity, generosity and an unwavering commitment to his craft.


A tireless creator who pushes beyond the usual codes of the dance floor, he favours curves, breaks and fluid transitions over rigid patterns. His live performances are physical and unforgettable, marked by a rich and melodic atmosphere powered by dramatic energy. His sound reveals a deep and instinctive relationship with music that is emotional and distinctive without drifting into unfocused experimentation.


Camille is a master of controlled improvisation, blending analogue and digital devices with confident rhythmic movements and moments of soaring lyricism. His signature can be heard not only through his releases on labels such as Timid Records, Btrax and more recently Scandium Records, but especially in his standout performances at respected venues including Astropolis and Rex Club. It is on these stages that his creativity truly flourishes, turning each appearance into a shared experience and a moment of communion with the crowd.


Anonymous Z opens the episode with a steady flow that moves between minimal textures and heavier techno constructions. The set starts with the stripped rhythmic feel of Andalucian 2.0 before expanding into the sweeping melodic motion of Organa. The tone gradually darkens as Dysnoptik and Yokai introduce sharper percussion and hypnotic patterns. The momentum deepens through Hamal and the rolling pressure of Mike Monday’s remix of Kenny’s Back, leading toward the tougher impact of Truncate’s take on Under the Map.


The first hour keeps a clean, structured energy as each transition builds on the drive of the last. Anonymous Z maintains a balance between groove-led minimalism and impactful techno, giving the mix a sense of purpose that carries through from start to finish. The selection stays rooted in club-ready rhythms while allowing enough variation to keep the movement feeling organic and forward-focused.


Camille Rodriguez shifts the atmosphere with a more eclectic palette, starting with the warm, rolling character of And It Don’t Change. Leftfield touches appear through Silver Linings and Spectrum, both adding broken percussion and textural detail that contrast with the first hour. The darker edges re-emerge through 3333 and Rural Woman, followed by the bright yet controlled uplift of Fading Lights. Camille’s sequencing bridges experimental influence with classic underground aesthetics.


The closing section brings a final return to tightly sculpted techno. Enlightenment and Tetalis raise the tension, while Satrah reinforces Amotik’s signature hypnotic tone. The episode ends with a reflective shift into I’m Not Afraid, offering a measured comedown without breaking the overall continuity. Episode 02 shows the dual identity of Not So Anonymous, pairing depth and experimentation with strong, cohesive club sensibilities.
