Coh-hul presents part two of his guest show 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.
Coh-hul is a DJ and producer based in Ho Chi Minh City and affiliated with the DJ agency. He made his live debut at a New Year's Eve event in Northern Thailand in 2015 and has since played music for audiences in the region.
Coh-hul's style is predominantly tech-house and tech-funk, with inspiration from Dirtybird, This Ain't Bristol, Relief, Snatch! and Perfect Driver. He enjoys creating energetic drum beats, bass lines and futuristic sci-fi melodies.
His ability to read an audience informs when he intensifies the music and when he gives the crowd a moment of respite. At the time of publication, he had lived in Saigon for three years, organising tech-house nights and creating lively atmospheres for the city's residents.
People who attended his many residencies across the city may have experienced this approach first-hand. The monthly event "AfterDark", co-hosted with Broma: Not A Bar, was his best-known party.
He is a DJ affiliated with the "DTOX" party brand and has been associated with WHAT? Events. His appearances across the city have included The Lighthouse, Saigon Soul Pool Party, Piu Piu, Upper Saigon, Hideout, Last Call, Indika, Saigon Outcast and Rogue.
Coh-hul performed at The Mui Ne Music & Arts Festival and at The Rock Island Club for New Year's Eve on Phu Quoc Island outside Saigon. His interest in Dirtybird took him alone to the Dirtybird Campout festival in summer 2017.
While in the United States, he organised an impromptu party at Venice Beach in Los Angeles, California, and played at Stacy's at Melrose in Phoenix, Arizona. During summer 2018, he played to a full house at Le Chapiteau in Marseille, delivering what he regarded as the finest set of his career.
In the year before this programme, Coh-hul set up a studio and began a new phase of musical work. His aim was to focus on production and release tracks through established labels while developing his profile as a producer and DJ.
Coh-hul's second Scientific Sound Asia guest show opens with German Brigante's Solitude and Claude VonStroke's Vocal Chords, both on DIRTYBIRD, establishing a Tech House foundation. Shiba San's Rock Da House on Basement Leak follows before Kasto's Do It Right on Nite Records introduces House Music.
Claude VonStroke, ZDS and KE bring Comments back to DIRTYBIRD territory, while Piem's Morrysom on Relief keeps the pressure focused. Nasser Baker's Shake It, Shake It on Objektivity and Andreas Henneberg's Little Piece of Me on Desert Hearts Records extend that rhythm-led run.
MANT and Biscits contribute Carnival Tune on Sola before The Sponges' Funked Up on Box Of Cats adds Bass House weight. Claude VonStroke's Slink on DIRTYBIRD then eases into Deep House, ahead of Codes featuring Shoshannah with Baby on Holy Molé Music and its Electro edge.
Sven Tasnadi's Piano Session on Relief returns to tech house, joined by Clyde P and Mighty Mi's Finer Things on Etiquette. Kill Frenzy's No Panties on DIRTYBIRD and Pegassi's L.A. Kitty on Shomi keep the central section taut and percussive.
Claude VonStroke's Please Oh Please Oh Please on DIRTYBIRD precedes Kill Frenzy's All Night Long, also on DIRTYBIRD, before Steve Darko's Lost Cause arrives via Sink or Swim. Arnold & Lane's For a Reason on Chub Rub and Vangelis Kostoxenakis's Yo Champ on Rawsome Recordings sustain the club-focused pace.
BYOR's Super Laser on IN / ROTATION brings bass house back into view, followed by Ardalan's I Can't Wait on DIRTYBIRD and Sven Lochenhoer's Oh Boy on Dumb Fat Records. Steady Rock featuring Finn's Pull Up on Dumb Fat Records brings Funky House into the final stretch, while Vangelis Kostoxenakis's I Wanna Get Down and Mark Broom's The Way and Break 97 close the show through Sink or Swim, Snatch! Records and Rekids.
