Ezmun announces track-list for 'Cooking With Gas' 07.

Ezmun has announced the track-list for 'Cooking With Gas' 07. Scientific Sound Asia is the ex-pat and local English language electronic music station, promoter, and DJ agency for Vietnam, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and the rest of Asia.

Cooking With Gas - The weekly dose of all things percussive, groovy and dark; curated by Ezmun. This week, Ezmun takes the helm for the full 2 hours. We start off with 1 hour of dark 100 BPM techno and bass, followed by an hour of his beloved leftfield bass.

Ezmun is originally from Cumbria in the United Kingdom, he has recently relocated to Vietnam to grow his music ambitions both as a DJ and producer. Unfortunately, COVID forced him to temporarily relocate to Melbourne, from here, he will release a weekly show pushing his favourite sounds. Ezmun, like many DJs, started off in his bedroom, and this led to house parties involving close friends and cohorts.

Fast forward to 2019, and he finally made his breakthrough into clubs, playing venues in Manchester, Hanoi, Laos and Ho Chi Minh City. Enamoured with the dark, sparse atmosphere of minimal half-time 140s and the lairy clatter of percussive leftfield bass, he implements these as peaks and troughs in an energetic techno setting. Ezmun is slowly gaining notoriety amongst the underground in Vietnam and is hoping to make his way back there.

In the meantime, he will explore the Melbourne underground scene and continue to hone his production skills with a view to releasing his own music in the coming years. Cooking With Gas is an opportunity for him to showcase his friends and other undiscovered DJs, as well as explore the genres he loves in more detail.

The session opens in the shadows with a slow and heavy techno pulse built around 100 BPM intensity. Tracks such as The Mandrake and Suomi set a murky foundation, shaped by deep low-end pressure and sparse rhythmic detail. The atmosphere thickens through selections like Alejandro and Stay Let’s Together, where rolling percussion meets drifting textures, pulling the listener further into the darker side of the spectrum.

As the first hour develops, the sound becomes more forceful while never abandoning its brooding tempo. Moments such as Storm and Baychimo bring sharper edges and fractured patterns, creating a sense of restrained momentum. Lurka’s Bodied and playful contributions from Stagga and Magugu stretch the boundaries between techno and bass, offering flashes of unpredictability while keeping the overall mood tightly controlled.

The transition into leftfield bass for the second hour feels natural, shifting the emphasis from weight to experimentation. Tracks including Conquest Mode, App Green and Cheetah2 explore off-centre rhythms and warped tonal design. The space opens up and becomes more elastic, with unusual sequencing and intricate sound shaping guiding the direction of the mix.

The final stretch expands into broken structures and atmospheric abstractions. Pieces such as Underripe, Late Night and Which Way Is Up bring subtle emotional undertones to the textured framework. Closing choices like Skooma, Salt Water and Fermi complete a journey that moves confidently from dark halftime foundations into expressive leftfield territory, rounding out a set defined by precision, mood and a commitment to exploratory rhythm.
