Anonymous Z has announced guest DJ Moth1 and the playlists for his show airing this Sunday on Scientific Sound Asia, the online underground electronic music station, DJ agency and promoter serving local and expatriate audiences across India, Vietnam, the Philippines, South Korea and the wider Asian region.


Taking the first hour, Anonymous Z is best known in Saigon, Vietnam as the founder of the legendary Mad Circus Epic parties, a movement that played a formative role in shaping 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, ravers 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, helping to develop their vibrant, tropical and high-energy identity. Although originally rooted in Techno, Anonymous Z gradually cultivated a passion for digging across genres, unearthing distinctive records spanning Afro, House, Disco and Funk.


He balances this with a carefully curated selection of 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.

Guest DJ (second hour) Moth1.


This week’s guest DJ for the second hour is Moth1, real name Sivaraj Pragasm, a Singapore-based DJ and filmmaker. He describes his practice not simply as mixing records, but as assembling sonic elements in order to generate entirely new auditory experiences.


Trained professionally as a cinematographer, his approach to DJing is deeply visual in nature. His sets are rich in imagery, atmosphere and narrative flow, often feeling more like moving through a cinematic landscape than a conventional club mix. Listeners are frequently drawn into a moody, futuristic space reminiscent of films such as Blade Runner, where sound, texture and emotion merge into a single, immersive experience.


Moth1’s selections tend to prioritise mood, tension and spatial depth, allowing each track to breathe while gradually building layers of sonic detail. The result is a hypnotic journey that blurs the line between music, sound design and visual storytelling, making his appearance on this week’s show a compelling contrast to Anonymous Z’s dancefloor-driven first hour.


Anonymous Z opens Not So Anonymous 9 in a reflective space, beginning with the melodic depth of Ghost and the abstract textures of Meine Hand. The mood then shifts towards more structured techno territory through Setting Sun, where Detroit-influenced harmonics sit alongside the stripped-down pulse of Lying In A Bed Of Myst.


As the hour develops, the focus moves into deeper and more hypnotic currents, with Signal Of Soul and Texture Poem For The Moons Of Stars introducing rolling, trance-like motion before the darker cinematic weight of Shantor changes the atmosphere again. The closing section of the first hour leans further into long-form techno.


Distant Shores brings a progressive, expansive feel, while Vertical Ice pushes things into colder, more industrial textures. Across the hour, the emphasis stays on Deep Techno, Hypnotic Techno and Experimental Techno, with ambient moments woven in rather than treated as a separate mood.


Moth1 begins the second hour by grounding the mix firmly in Deep Techno, with Suzumushi and Hualien establishing a spacious, low-slung rhythm that balances dubby movement with atmospheric detail. Tracks like Cosmic Order and Nadir deepen this approach, while Somnium adds a classic Dub Techno sensibility. The mid-section tightens the groove through Berlin-leaning material such as Paradigm and the precise drive of Shunned.


The final stretch becomes increasingly stark and industrial. Zeis, Moving Towards The Exits and Everything Is Ahead Of Us steer the mix towards harder, colder territory, before Pray To The Eagle God returns to hypnotic repetition. The hour closes with the driving momentum of Berlin and the abstract textures of Suspicacia, reinforcing a set built around Deep Techno, Hypnotic Techno and Industrial Techno rather than big stylistic shifts.
