Coh-hul has published his playlist for this Saturday’s edition of Play It Loud. Scientific Sound Asia radio continues to serve as the underground electronic music station for China, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and listeners across the world.
Coh-hul is an established DJ and producer based in Ho Chi Minh City, and for several years, he has also been a core member of the Scientific Sound Asia DJ Agency. His breakthrough moment arrived at a New Year’s Eve event in Northern Thailand in 2015, and since then, he has built a strong reputation for energetic performances and tightly crafted sets.
His sound centres on Tech House and Tech Funk, inspired by labels such as Dirtybird, This Ain’t Bristol, Relief, Snatch! and Perfect Driver. His sets are driven by punchy drums, thick rolling bass lines and futuristic Sci Fi influenced motifs. One of his most distinctive qualities as a DJ is his ability to read a room instantly, knowing when to escalate the pace and when to hold back to keep the crowd locked in.
Now a long-term resident of Saigon, he has hosted multiple Tech House nights and consistently drawn lively crowds across the city. Many visitors to Ho Chi Minh City will know him through his residencies, particularly AfterDark, the monthly party he co-hosts with Broma: Not A Bar.
His work with DTOX, WHAT? Events and Scientific Sound Asia has made him a regular figure in the city’s nightlife, and his performances have appeared at venues such as The Lighthouse, Saigon Soul Pool Party, Piu Piu, Upper Saigon, Hideout, Last Call, Indika, Saigon Outcast and Rogue. Beyond Saigon, he has played at The Mui Ne Music and Arts Festival and The Rock Island Club on Phu Quoc for New Year’s Eve.
His admiration for the Dirtybird label led him to travel to the United States in 2017 to experience Dirtybird Campout first-hand. While in California, he hosted a renegade party on Venice Beach and performed at Stacy’s at Melrose in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2018, he delivered one of the standout sets of his career at Le Chapiteau in Marseille to a sold-out crowd.
Over the last two years, Coh-hul has procured lots of production equipment and set up a studio and has a new musical endeavour. His main goal is to focus on his production skills and put out releases on some established labels to build on his growing reputation as a talented producer and DJ.
Recent highlights include his 2024 EP 'Additive Magic' and singles like 'Cosmo', 'No Cup', 'Bad Birds', and 'Skinny Bodje' on labels such as NastyFunk Records and Qwerk, plus his 2025 charity release 'GIVE IT ALL' for Blue Dragon Children's Charity. He has also dropped edits and tracks on Bandcamp, including 'Tim Maia - Sossego (Coh-hul Edit)' in April 2024 and 'Papi' in February 2023, alongside albums 'La Buena' and 'Bad&B // Walk_Talk'.
With a farewell party in Saigon on 6 December 2025 as he prepares to relocate to Brazil, he is teasing tunes from his upcoming album 'Papai Chegou' (Daddy's Home). Recent sets include a guest spot at Hanoi Community Radio in July 2025 and Bam's House Party on 4 December 2025.
His last show focused on the label Trippy Ass Technologies, delivering a bass-heavy mix of what they have to offer. This episode will be dedicated to My Techno Weighs A Ton by showcasing a mix of their best and hitting us with the hottest new tracks released this month.
The episode bursts open with Sound Supports disco-tinged grooves, establishing a funky tech pulse that carries into Snowk and J.O.Y.'s soulful wanderings, remixed with Crackazats' jazzy flair from his early 2010s broken beat days. Nalas scorching bass heat ramps up the energy, mirrored by Mike Mcflys jackin drive, before Steve Darkos arpeggiated shadows add a melodic twist, all rooted in Dirtybirds signature quirk since the label's 2005 inception.
Contribes steady tease builds anticipation, and Steady Rocks retro blast injects pure disco joy, paving the way for Cour T's warped museum romp and Nalas' glitchy assault, evoking the playful chaos of 2020s club experimentation. Shiba Sans' cheeky funk propels the momentum, his Repopulate Mars ethos shining through post-2010s bass evolutions, as Ekoboys' minimal strip-down offers a breath before Arnold and Lanes wobbly sips deliver bassline indulgence.
The Sponges bring humorous flair with their Seinfeld-inspired funk, a nod to Box Of Cats' late-2010s irreverence, while Ekoboys' anthemic satisfaction lifts spirits, and Pezzner's wonky remix by Ardalan bridges deep house origins with Dirtybird edge, recalling Pezzner's 2000s Seattle scene contributions.
The MTWAT label mix erupts with Reginald's creaky rawness, setting a warehouse tone echoed in Robbie Rivera's jackin cook-up from his 1990s Juicy fame, and The Cook, The Thief's unified drive from West Coast compilations. Enky Janes' hypnotic induction coils tension, Strictly Bizness and Dipzys robotic soul adds electro grit, and Sammy Legss cosmic dimension warps reality with 2010s UK influences, as Niqws fiery punch ignites the peak.
Enky Janes' industrial edge tests limits, Stuukss bass overload shakes foundations from No Sleep Crew archives, and Chick Iverson's quirky hesitation invites playful pauses before Stuukss' laid-back west coast sway eases in. Middaths looping jam grooves relentlessly, Elternhauss minimal bush evokes Berlin sparsity, and Tewaxs addictive need hooks deep, with Arnold and Lanes shaky wobbles tying back to earlier bass themes, D-Teks frontline aggression pushes boundaries, Dipsy and Takshaks vibey collab pulses unity, and Alex Indexs abstract signals fade into echoing resolve.
Coh-huls Play It Loud episode 13 masterfully fuses tech house's funky immediacy with bass house's playful depth and MTWAT's raw techno grit, spotlighting Dirtybird innovators and underground warriors for an electrifying session that captures the unyielding spirit of global club culture.
