Anonymous Z has released the playlist for his forthcoming Not So Anonymous show. Scientific Sound Asia Radio serves as an online electronic music station and DJ Agency catering to both local and expatriate audiences across the Asian region.
Anonymous Z is widely esteemed in Saigon, Vietnam, for spearheading the renowned Mad Circus epic parties. Recognized as the promoter of mayhem to the soul, he notably orchestrated the inaugural underground DJ collective in Bahrain, known as Glassroom.
Leading a diverse ensemble of misfits from various nationalities, he orchestrated a series of parties and after-parties, both legal and occasionally renegade, which have become legendary tales in the local nightlife scene. His mantra during that period resonated with defiance: "They tried to bury us, but they forgot we were seeds."
Joining the Banana Hustle crew amidst their vibrant tropical fervour at events in Ho Chi Minh City, he played a pivotal role in shaping their distinctive atmosphere. While initially aligned with Techno, his musical palate expanded to encompass a diverse array of genres, including Afro, House, Disco, and Funk, as he delved into the pursuit of uncovering unique tracks.
He enriches the collective experience with his distinctive selection of meticulously chosen Techno or current Indie Dance tracks. His prowess as a disc jockey has earned him invitations to perform at renowned underground venues in Vietnam, such as Arcan, The Lighthouse, Broma, and Vitamin D after-parties.
His non-linear sets are frequently improvised, guided by the energy of the crowd, traversing across various musical genres featuring tense and groovy basslines, along with epic storytelling melodies that never fail to evoke a range of emotions. Evolving over time, he defines his sound by delving into world music and exploring the roots of electro.
At times, his sets veer into the realm of trippy and dark downtempo compositions, infused with a potent blend of tribal and South American influences. Alternatively, he crafts groovy yet dark arrangements of Leftfield Electro, seamlessly weaving elements of Indie Dance, Nu Disco, Electroclash, New Wave, Wave, New Beat, Dark Wave, and Dark Disco into his sonic tapestry.
In the underground scenes of the Middle East and Vietnam, he hones his appreciation for dark and hypnotic rhythms. Oscillating between evocative ethnic sounds and epic synths, his affinity for tense basslines and percussive rhythms resonates directly with any dance floor. Originally broadcast on Sunday, the 18th of April, you can listen to the Mixcloud player below to experience the show.
