Anonymous Z has announced the playlist for his show airing this Sunday on Scientific Sound Asia, the online underground electronic music station, DJ agency, and promoter serving both local and expatriate audiences across the region.


Rather than a biography of the first-hour guest UFO, also known as Kama, the opening set is framed as a personal story rooted in a specific moment in time. In March 2020, as Switzerland closed its schools and restricted gatherings to no more than five people, the country found itself suspended between uncertainty and stillness.


The population was encouraged to stay at home without formal confinement, creating an atmosphere of tension, reflection, and introspection. Fear and fragility coexisted with a sudden return to simplicity, forcing a reconnection with what truly mattered.


It was during this period that the first-hour set was conceived. Recorded a month later, it reflects a deliberate retreat into the forest, where nature began to reclaim space in the absence of human activity. This environment encouraged a slower, more organic rhythm, inviting both the artist and the listener to reconnect with themselves and their surroundings.


The mix opens within this natural setting, shaped directly by the sounds of the forest. The music unfolds somewhere between tribal rhythms and ceremonial influences, evoking the spirit of Ayahuasca rituals. It is designed to stir deep emotion, acting as a form of release, a space to reflect, mourn, and celebrate the living world around us: the trees, sky, insects, roots, and the earth itself.


Interwoven with field recordings and organic textures, the set gradually builds into a more dynamic, energetic call to awaken to nature. What begins as contemplative evolves into a punchy, life-affirming journey that bridges introspection and movement.


The second hour sees Anonymous Z himself take control of the decks. He is best known in Saigon, Vietnam as the founder of the legendary Mad Circus Epic parties, a movement that helped define the city’s underground nightlife.


A natural organiser of creative chaos, he also established Bahrain’s first underground DJ collective, Glassroom. Leading a diverse group of artists and music lovers, he orchestrated parties and after-parties, both sanctioned and unsanctioned, that are still remembered as pivotal moments in the local scene.


Guided by his motto, “They tried to bury us, but they forgot we were seeds,” he later aligned with the Banana Hustle crew, contributing to their vibrant, tropical, and high-energy aesthetic. Although originally rooted in Techno, Anonymous Z developed a deep passion for digging across genres, unearthing distinctive records spanning Afro, House, Disco, and Funk.


He balances this with carefully selected contemporary Techno and emerging Indie Dance. His reputation as a sharp and instinctive selector has earned him performances at key underground venues including Arcan, The Lighthouse, and the legendary Broma and Vitamin D after-parties.


His sets are characteristically non-linear and largely improvised, shaped in real time by the dancefloor rather than following a fixed structure. Moving fluidly across styles, his sound is defined by tense, groove-driven basslines, cinematic melodies, and emotionally charged storytelling that keeps audiences fully immersed from start to finish.


Not So Anonymous 06 opens in slower, textured territory with Enter The Forest and Vuela Con El Viento, placing Organic House and World elements alongside a sharp shift into The Stone Roses’ Breaking Into Heaven. Kama then moves into his own Streets Of Saigon, grounding the mix in Deep Techno and Minimal before sidestepping into Ashra’s ambient-leaning Nightdust. Jan Jelinek’s Rock In The Video Age keeps the focus on reduced, experimental rhythm structures.


The centre of the hour leans more into hybrid styles, moving from the psychedelic fusion of Loli Cosmica into the acid-tinged Afro House of Ponto Das Caboclas. The cumbia-inflected swing of La Cumbia Quitapenas contrasts with the harder Techno drive of Deep Inside. Superpitcher’s Burkina pulls the set back toward Deep House and Minimal before the remix of Thurston Moore introduces an experimental rock thread.


The final stretch from Kama balances dancefloor and leftfield material. Dreams Come True brings Synthpop and Indie Dance colour, followed by the deeper, restrained groove of Berkeley. Autunno adds a cosmic edge, while Things Aren’t So Bad pushes into Acid House and Techno. The hour closes with Reptant’s First Kontakt, returning to a raw Electro and acid-driven aesthetic.


Anonymous Z begins with Afro-disco and Balearic textures in Lamento Africano/Rictus and continues into the leftfield swing of Everything Changes. Enkuan Pt. 2 introduces Ethio-Jazz and Dub elements before the set settles into Deep House and Techno with Indian Dynamite. Later highlights include the Afro-leaning groove of Luna Africa, the darker tones of Long Journey To Liman, and the Indie Dance flow of Amlo. The mix finishes with Jay Shepheard’s Bullfrogging, Bufi’s Cosmoattack and the House-meets-Breaks style of Broncos, closing the episode with a clear club-focused rhythm.
