Anonymous Z announces playlist for 5th show.

Anonymous Z has announced the playlist for his show this Sunday. Scientific Sound Asia radio is the local and expatriate online Asian electronic music station, DJ agency and promoter for the region with a global following.

Anonymous Z is widely known in Saigon for founding the Mad Circus Epic parties. As an organiser of beautifully controlled mayhem, he first carved out his reputation in Bahrain, where he created the country’s first underground DJ community, Glassroom.

Leading this small but determined group of misfits, he organised parties and after-parties of every kind, some official and others very much not, all of which have since become part of local nightlife folklore. His motto at the time remains a perfect summary of that era: “They tried to bury us, but they forgot we were seeds.”

After relocating to Vietnam, he joined the Banana Hustle crew, contributing to their punchy tropical party identity. Originally rooted in Techno, his sound later evolved through years of digging for unusual cuts across Afro House, Disco, Funk and global rhythms, while still maintaining a clear affection for unique Techno and more recent strands of Indie Dance.

His diverse taste and reputation as a selecta opened the doors to respected underground venues such as Arcan, The Lighthouse, Broma and the notorious Vitamin D after-parties. Anonymous Z is known for his non-linear approach to sets, which are often improvised and steered directly by the crowd. Expect tense and groovy basslines, playful emotional shifts and long-form storytelling melodies.

He describes this week’s session as “Techno for the Bath” – a tongue-in-cheek way of framing a slower, deeper journey. With tempos hovering below 120 BPM, the set flirts with Deep Techno and Minimal Techno textures while keeping solid Techno basslines and the occasional Acid flourish at the centre of the groove.

Anonymous Z’s Not So Anonymous episode 05 materialises with Fist Crisium’s ethereal appearance, a promo haze that sets an experimental tone evoking lo-fi Australian underground from the 1990s Bloody Fist era, before Mr Tc and Lo Kindre’s storm brews ambient trance via Heap’s Neubau remix, Glasgow’s dubbed-out slow jams from 2018 still rippling hypnotically. Pletnev’s words clash cosmically in Sascha Funke’s jerky Hard Fist rework, the Russian-Vilnius producer’s 2019 stellar chug nodding BPitch Control’s Berlin legacy since the 2000s.

Cosmobrown’s browsers and sisters pop into Dombrance’s groovy Masterman remix, a 2016 French electro soul twist that bridges indie and dance, while Shame On Us’s naam pulses balearic percussion through Fantastic Man’s Hivern Discs uplift, Tel-Aviv’s 2018 live trio infused with John Talabot’s psychedelic heights. Endora’s joy slows to Ed Isar’s 33rpm +8% Paris edit, a 1996 Matsuri goa classic dilated for underground introspection, and Jensen Interceptor and Assembler Code’s drive shift chills Mechatronica’s 2018 vapour electro, Australian cold grooves with The Hacker’s metallic sting.

Gune Aci’s Fibonacci dreams melodically in Uj Pa Gaz’s Esthetique rework, Turkish progressions from 2019 blooming deep, Bozart’s Istanbul à facette undulates psychedelic italo on Azzur’s 2020 debut, evoking New Wave cold with Middle Eastern indie flair. Nhar’s chani’s acid intensifies Azzur’s melodic techno acid from 2020, Karelia’s hypnotic depths since 2004, Shubostar’s orion loop loops cosmic nu disco via K-effect’s Uju Records 2019 remix, the Italian label’s soviet sci-fi nod.

Ton Globiter’s equilibrium balances dark indie drive in Connor’s Roam Recordings 2018 rework, Lithuanian crafty synths meeting Nein Records boss subtlety, Ivan De La Rouch’s John Grenades erupts erotic downtempo through Mufti’s Logical Records 2019 remix, Madrid’s dark disco with EBM tweaks. Darlyn Vlys’s ley de murphy chugs Stil Vor Talent’s 2018 melodic darkness, Oliver Koletzki’s Berlin imprint since 2005, Hiroshi Watanabe’s infinity sign acid-drips Nitelist Music’s 2015 Japanese psychedelia, and Emmanuel Top’s radio broadcasts Attack Records’ 1990s French acid techno climax.

Anonymous Z’s Not So Anonymous episode 05 is a masterful cosmic electronic mosaic, fusing indie dance psychedelia with acid techno intensity and balearic uplift for an anonymous underground odyssey of hypnotic depth and rhythmic revelation.
