Anonymous Z announces playlists for 13th show with guest Cocosova.

Anonymous Z returns alongside guest DJ Cocosova for Not So Anonymous 13, broadcast on Scientific Sound Asia, the Asian electronic music station, DJ agency and promoter connecting underground scenes across the region.

Anonymous Z opens the first hour, a figure well known in Saigon, Vietnam, for founding the Mad Circus Epic party series. A true instigator of underground culture, he previously established Bahrain’s first underground DJ community, Glassroom.

Leading a diverse collective of artists and misfits, he organised parties and after-parties, both sanctioned and unsanctioned, that remain part of local nightlife folklore. His long-standing motto, “They tried to bury us, but they forgot we were seeds,” reflects the spirit that continues to drive his work.

Later joining the Banana Hustle crew, Anonymous Z helped shape their vibrant tropical identity while expanding his own musical scope. Originally rooted in techno, his digging has since widened to include Afro, House, Disco and Funk, always tied together with carefully selected techno cuts and contemporary Indie Dance. This breadth of taste and strong selector skills have earned him appearances at respected underground venues such as Arcan, The Lighthouse, Broma and Vitamin D after-parties.

His sets are rarely linear. Instead, they are improvised and guided by the dancefloor, moving fluidly across styles while maintaining tension, groove and narrative flow. Heavy basslines, rhythmic pressure and emotionally charged melodies are hallmarks of his approach, creating sets that are playful, intense and deeply immersive.

For the thirteenth edition of Not So Anonymous, Anonymous Z welcomes back Cocosova for the second hour, shifting the mood into a different sonic space. Her contribution leans into drums, tribal rhythms and seductive grooves, blending Nu-Disco and House with a raw, percussive edge. Together, Not So Anonymous 13 delivers a contrasting yet complementary journey, moving from shadowy underground energy into rhythm-led, body-driven dancefloor music.

Guest DJ (second hour) Cocosova.

This week’s guest DJ for the second hour is Cocosova, a Russian DJ known for her soulful taste and wide-ranging underground selections. She previously held residencies at Jagger Bar, Neft Lounge, Matur Lounge and Lulu Rest, and has appeared at events such as the Pavlovka One Love Festival and the Shihan Dance Competition in Russia, bringing together floor-focused music from across global dance cultures.

Rooted in old-school Black music, Cocosova’s approach blends soul, groove and rhythm in a way that sets her apart within the eclectic dance music scene. A former finalist in Russia’s DJ Battle, she is drawn to funky and groove-led sounds, shaping sets that move fluidly through House, Disco, Funk and Tribal influences, while also exploring darker and more exotic territories when the moment calls for it.

Since relocating to Vietnam in 2019, Cocosova has continued to build her presence within the regional underground, staying true to her core mission of sharing carefully selected, taste-driven dance music. Her guest mix for this episode reflects that balance of warmth, rhythm and depth, offering a confident and expressive journey through groove-focused underground sounds.

The first hour opens with Anonymous Z playing a smooth, exploratory tone as Scratching The Surface and Long Way Home establish an electronic and Afro House framework built on warmth and subtle groove. From here, Balearic textures and relaxed rhythms begin to surface, creating an inviting atmosphere that feels both reflective and dancefloor-ready.

As the mix develops, Deep House selections like Burkina Berlin and Collecting My Groove deepen the pulse, while Nu Disco and House cuts such as As We Travel and Sweetest Thing add movement and lift. This section balances soulful musicality with understated club energy, leading naturally into the classic House feel of Soul Makossa (Money).

Cocosova’s second hour shifts the focus toward organic, rhythm-led storytelling. Afro House cuts like Mama Yeye and Gonna Be With You introduce ceremonial percussion and hypnotic repetition, supported by the dubby depth of Babalu Aye and the earthy flow of The Tale Of The Ouroboros.

The closing stretch leans into darker, more stripped-back territory as Indie Dance and Minimal Tech selections such as My Love Is For Real and Springboard When You Least Expect tighten the groove. The episode concludes with African Blood and Trouble At The Seance, leaving a grounded, late-night mood that ties together global rhythms, underground house and atmospheric club culture.
