Coh-hul presents Play It Loud episode 18 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Previously based in Ho Chi Minh City, Coh-hul is an established DJ and producer who has been part of the Scientific Sound Asia DJ agency roster for several years. His breakthrough came through a New Year’s Eve event in Northern Thailand in 2015, after which he built a reputation through energetic performances and a distinctive approach to DJing.
His sound is rooted in tech house and tech-funk, with influences from labels including Dirtybird, This Ain’t Bristol, Relief, Snatch! and Perfect Driver. His sets feature punchy drum patterns, basslines and playful futuristic elements, combining groove and energy for the dancefloor.
Coh-hul has developed a reputation for reading the crowd, knowing when to build intensity and when to ease the energy to preserve the flow. During his five years in Saigon, he hosted his own tech house nights and played a key role in shaping parts of the city’s underground scene.
His most recognised event is the monthly AfterDark party, co-hosted with Broma: Not A Bar, and he is also involved with the DTOX party brand. He has performed at events organised by Scientific Sound Asia, while regular appearances at The Lighthouse, Piu Piu, Upper Saigon, Indika, Saigon Outcast and Rogue made him a familiar name on the local circuit.
Beyond Ho Chi Minh City, he has performed at the Mui Ne Music and Arts Festival and New Year’s Eve events at Rock Island Club in Phu Quoc. In 2017, he travelled to the United States for Dirtybird Campout, organised a spontaneous beach party in Venice and performed in Phoenix, Arizona.
In 2018, Coh-hul played a sold-out show at Le Chapiteau in Marseille, a highlight in his career. Alongside his DJ work, he expanded into content creation through the Seshnikov YouTube series, sharing production ideas and showcasing new material.
His music is also available through platforms including Spotify and Bandcamp, marking his growing focus on production. For this edition of Play It Loud, he turns to Pets Recordings, the label founded by Catz ’n Dogz.
Following a previous episode dedicated to W&O Street Tracks, the mix explores the Pets catalogue alongside current favourites and one of Coh-hul’s own productions. Its second half brings a broader club palette, including deeper club textures.
Coh-hul’s Play It Loud episode 18 opens with Kevin Knapp’s Miss Me on Repopulate Mars and Lubelski’s Ometepe on Big Bam Boo, establishing the Tech House focus. Coh-hul’s own Give It All is a Techno contribution, before Davide Squillace and Ninetoes’ Vending Machine on This And That and DJ E-Clyps’ Peaches & Eggplants on Blacklight Music return to the rolling club rhythm.
Sage Armstrong and Arnold & Lane bring Bass House with Pop It on Dumb Fat Records, followed by Wrdo’s On The Ship! on Birdfeed, an Electronic change of texture. Catz ’n Dogz’s First Night Out on Edible, Ekoboy’s Universal on Box Of Cats and Claude VonStroke with Walker & Royce’s Enthusiasm on Dirtybird restore the firm Tech House pulse.
Claude VonStroke and Walker & Royce follow with End Of The Lime on Dirtybird, while Dipzy’s I Might on My Techno Weighs A Ton and Sage Armstrong with Dipzy’s Took Off All My Clothes on Dumb Fat Records keep the pressure direct. FeelGood and Zanard’s Follow Me on Box Of Cats and Uknew’s Hit The Club lead into Joseph Ashworth’s Trooper on Life And Death, bringing a Melodic House and Techno shade.
The Pets Recordings sequence begins with Catz ’n Dogz’s I Bought It All and Walker & Royce’s My Stop, both holding to the programme’s Tech House framework. Catz ’n Dogz’s Eats Everything remix of Mass Confusion introduces House Music, before Dalfie’s dub version of Right Up, Bearight’s Buoyant and Black Loops’ 4 The Lovers return to the label’s leaner groove.
Catz ’n Dogz’s Claude VonStroke remix of Get It Right, featuring Tanika, precedes Walker & Royce’s Seventeen and Truncate’s Pressure, two cuts of Peak Time Techno. Harry Romero’s I Rise, Catz ’n Dogz’s Upsi Bubsi and Demuir’s Black Kids Luv Techno then bring the selection back towards the taut, percussive character heard earlier.
Catz ’n Dogz shift the final section with Rave History, a raw, deep and hypnotic Trance cut from Pets Recordings. Adam Port and Jennifer Touch’s Marquis Hawkes remix of This Time and Psychemagik’s Rattlesnake close the episode with house-rooted tension and a return to Tech House.
