Anonymous Z announces playlist and guest 6047 for Not So Anonymous 43

Anonymous Z has revealed the playlist and guest DJ 6047 for the forthcoming Not So Anonymous 43 show on Scientific Sound Asia. The platform operates as an online electronic music radio station, promoter and DJ agency, catering to local and expatriate audiences across Asia while also publishing music news.

Anonymous Z is widely known in Saigon, Vietnam, as the founder of the Mad Circus parties. He previously organised Glassroom, Bahrain’s first underground DJ collective, bringing together an international group of artists and nightlife figures.

Through Glassroom, he put together legal parties and renegade after-parties that became part of local nightlife folklore. His motto during that period was, “They tried to bury us, but they forgot we were seeds.”

After becoming part of the Banana Hustle crew in Ho Chi Minh City, he helped shape the collective’s tropical event identity. Originally focused on Techno, he later expanded his digging into Afro, House, Disco and Funk.

His selections bring together hand-picked Techno, current Indie Dance and music drawn from a wider underground spectrum. This approach has taken him into recognised venues in Vietnam, including Arcan, The Lighthouse, Broma and Vitamin D after-parties.

Anonymous Z’s sets are often improvised and non-linear, shaped by the crowd rather than fixed structures. Tense basslines, groove-led rhythms and melodic storytelling sit at the centre of his style.

Over time, he has developed a sound that moves through World Music influences and early forms of electronic music. His darker sets can move into trippy Downtempo, tribal percussion, South American influences and leftfield club sounds.

He also explores darker groove-led selections built from Leftfield Electro, Indie Dance, Nu Disco, Electroclash, New Wave, New Beat, Dark Wave and Dark Disco. His wider archive can be followed through SoundCloud and Mixcloud.

In this edition of Not So Anonymous, Anonymous Z welcomes Los Angeles-based 6047 for a shared focus on Italo Disco. The guest set leans into vintage Italo sounds, vocal-led selections and material close to the edge of Eurodance.

Anonymous Z offers a modern counterpart, approaching the theme through Nu Disco and House influences. Not So Anonymous 43 places the two perspectives side by side, linking classic Italo energy with a contemporary underground club approach.

Not So Anonymous episode 43 features 6047 in the first hour and Anonymous Z in the second hour. 6047 opens with Wish Key’s Last Summer, placing the show inside Italo Disco through its documented 1986 release context.

Danny Keith follows with Keep On Music, keeping the first hour inside the electronic vocal style of mid-1980s Italo Disco. Hally and Kongo Band then bring Afrikan Man into the sequence, adding an Afro Disco turn before Essence restores the Italo line with Kahlua Sun.

Patty Ryan’s You're My Love, You're My Life shifts the hour towards Euro Disco and synth-pop, giving the set a brighter vocal-pop shape. Blue System’s History and Bad Boys Blue’s Save Your Love then keep that European electronic disco sound in place.

Anthony’s Games return the programme to Italo Disco with Silent Smiles, adding another 1980s vocal club entry. Ken Laszlo closes 6047’s first hour with Hey Hey Guy, ending the section with one of the more recognisable Italo Disco names in the tracklist.

Anonymous Z opens the second hour with Black Tie’s Double Time in the Marcello Giordani edit, keeping the Italo Disco thread active while moving into a more edited club setting. Full Intention and Nick Reach Up then shift into Indie Dance with Night Of My Life in the Dr Packer remix.

Flight Status’ 1987 moves the set into Nu Disco with a title and sound rooted in retro electronic club references. Italoconnection and Alessandra Contini follow with Voyage, returning the hour to Italo Disco through a modern project closely linked to the style.

Rodion, Golden Bug and Lavinia Claws introduce Dark Disco with Do The Washing Machine in the Toomy Disco Rub Dub Mix. Younger Than Me then bring Honey into the Massimiliano Pagliara remix, keeping the selection close to Indie Dance and contemporary electronic disco.

Palavas’ Giorgio Baroudeur restores the Nu Disco / Disco movement before Pardon Moi’s The Camera Loves You brings a darker modern disco tone back into the mix. Vhyce’s Amour Cru then adds another Nu Disco entry, balancing melody, rhythm and polished club production.

Rollover DJs’ Sir Paul 1985 keeps the late section inside Indie Dance with a clear retro club reference. Lifelike’s Italo Disco then turns directly towards Nu Disco / Disco, using the title and Beatport release context to connect modern production with classic Italo influence.

Vivian Vee closes episode 43 with Heartbeat, ending the show on an Italo Disco selection after a route through Euro Disco, Afro Disco, Nu Disco, Indie Dance and Dark Disco. The episode links 6047’s classic first-hour sound with Anonymous Z’s modern edits and contemporary disco-led club material.
