Ezmun presents Cooking With Gas episode 03 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, promoter, DJ agency and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Cooking With Gas is Ezmun’s weekly outlet for percussive, groove-led and darker club sounds. Episode 03 opens with slow, wobbling low-end rhythms before moving through leftfield bass and towards darker techno territory, with Tony McBride taking over for the final 50 minutes.
Tony McBride, also known on Mixcloud as Slowpony, is a DJ from Carlisle in the United Kingdom whose connection to music began in childhood, when he started mixing at the age of ten on his first belt-drive turntables. He has remained involved in his local scene, organising events across Cumbria, supporting artists including Todd Terry at Culture, and performing at the Solfest festival.
Tony’s guest mix for Cooking With Gas explores house and techno through his broad taste and long-standing experience behind the decks. It balances groove and momentum with a focus on dancefloor flow.
Ezmun, originally from Cumbria, is closely linked with Vietnam’s underground scene, where he develops his ambitions as both DJ and producer. After temporarily relocating to Melbourne during the COVID period, his weekly broadcast showcased his favourite sounds and musical direction at the time.
Like many DJs, Ezmun’s path began in his bedroom before progressing through house parties with close friends and into clubs in 2019. He has played venues across Manchester, Hanoi, Laos and Ho Chi Minh City, while his sound draws on minimal half-time rhythms, dark atmospheres and percussive leftfield bass to shape energetic techno-leaning sets through tension and release.
As Cooking With Gas continues to grow, Ezmun’s crossover from intimate settings to wider underground stages has not gone unnoticed. Episode 03 reinforces the show’s identity as a space for darker, forward-thinking club music while spotlighting guest selectors connected to the same underground ethos.
Ezmun opens Cooking With Gas 3 with a leftfield, rhythm-focused approach, easing in through Down The Line and Pull My Heart Away, where electronic textures and stripped-back house grooves set a loose but purposeful tone. Bass-driven cuts like Bussboy and Footprints In Solid Rock push the energy forward while maintaining a raw, percussive feel.
The first half continues to build with club-ready selections such as Picazón and Black Mamba, bridging Afro-influenced rhythms and tech house propulsion. As the mix moves deeper, Higher and Long Ago introduce darker momentum, transitioning smoothly into driving techno with I Am and Don’t Dream.
Tony McBride takes over for the final stretch, beginning with a more hypnotic and spacious mood. Tracks like A213 and Be lean into house and deep house sensibilities before tightening the focus with bass-heavy club tools, including Stifle and Forgotten Tales.
The closing run intensifies with peak-time pressure from Glock & Roll, Automatic, and Dont Stop No Sleep, before descending into deeper territory via Focal and Forward. The episode concludes with Underripe, bringing the journey full circle with a reflective electronic finish that balances experimentation and dancefloor intent.
