Anonymous Z announces playlist for 8th show with guest Manny.

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

For this edition, Anonymous Z has invited DJ Manny to take charge of the first hour. Moving fluidly between Hip Hop, Electro and a strong presence of world music, DJ Manny has become an increasingly visible figure across the Saigon scene. His selections are eclectic yet coherent, rooted in rhythm, cultural textures and a distinctive global sensibility.

As part of the Banana Hustle crew, he is known for delivering a groovier, more uplifting energy that blends dancefloor instinct with adventurous digging. A resident of Hazy Lemons, the Sunday gathering at The Lighthouse, he caters to those who appreciate the slower side of the beat. His approach favours rare finds, particularly ethnic, tropical and organic influences that feel both immersive and refreshing.

For this show, DJ Manny presents a deep and melancholic set infused with cumbia rhythms and oriental tonalities. The mood is reflective yet hypnotic, weaving together traditional elements with contemporary electronic textures to create a richly atmospheric journey.

Responding to his guest’s direction, Anonymous Z follows in the second hour with a more psychedelic interpretation of this hazy aesthetic, expanding the emotional range while maintaining a fluid narrative across the mix.

Anonymous Z is best known in Saigon, Vietnam as the founder of the legendary Mad Circus Epic parties, a movement that helped shape the city’s underground nightlife. An organiser of creative mayhem to the core, 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 official and unofficial, that are still remembered as defining moments in the local scene.

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

He balances this with carefully curated contemporary Techno and emerging Indie Dance. His reputation as a sharp and instinctive selector has earned him performances at key underground venues such as 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.

DJ Manny opens Not So Anonymous 8 with Organic House and Downtempo territory, beginning with the earthy movement of Enter The Forest before moving through the softer textures of Cosmossamba and Berimba Regionau. The mood broadens with the folktronica line of Cumbia Del Ovido and the Afro-rooted swing of Wad Alnuba, keeping the selection rooted in organic rhythms rather than club structures.

The set then shifts toward more experimental and psychedelic colours. Nightdust leans into ambient Krautrock influence, while Rock In The Video Age brings a minimalist edge. Tracks such as Loli Cosmica and Kalimbas weave together Afro, acid and ritual textures, before the hour closes with deeper, stripped-back material like Burkina and Berkeley.

Anonymous Z’s second hour begins with a broader leftfield palette, starting from the balearic pulse of Lamento Africano and moving through the darker, off-kilter textures of Everything Changes and Long Journey To Liman. The mix balances Afro House and tribal elements with more angular selections such as Africa Twin and the disco-leaning groove of Amlo.

The final stretch tightens around Deep House, breaks and techno influences. Bullfrogging and Cosmoattack sit between house and indie dance, while Broncos brings a firmer house and breaks line to close the session, giving the episode a grounded finish after its wide stylistic sweep.
