Tam Yeung has released the track list for this Tuesday’s edition of his weekly show. Scientific Sound Asia continues to operate as the underground electronic music station, promoter and DJ agency for listeners across Asia and internationally, with regular audiences in India, China, Vietnam, Malaysia and the United States.

Tam Yeung, real name Tim Young, is a DJ from Essex in the United Kingdom who now calls Da Nang, Vietnam, his home. His influences stretch widely across Techno, experimental electronics, metal, jazz, folk, disco, funk and countless other sounds that have shaped his eclectic approach to DJing.

He first began DJing in 2004 at the semi-legendary and gloriously chaotic Club Clor parties at the Brixton Windmill. These monthly events combined live bands, DJs and an anything-goes attitude, earning a reputation for nights where people truly let loose. Tam quickly became known for selections that pushed against the expected and brought unusual textures to the dance floor.

From those beginnings, he went on to perform in multiple countries through a mix of determination, adaptability and a deep commitment to crate-digging. His travels have included squat parties in Berlin, beach bars in Malaysia, Thailand and Malta, underground venues in Poland, Techno clubs in Moscow and even brewery events in London. His willingness to play across environments and energy levels has helped shape the broad palette he brings to his sets today.

He has been part of DJ crews and held residencies in both Aberdeen and London, performing everything from hard disco to stripped industrial rhythms. Now based in Da Nang, Tam had intended to continue exploring psychedelic and left-field sounds for open-minded ravers, but global events over recent years shifted dance floors into hold mode. What could have been a setback instead became a new opportunity.

With clubs paused, his digging and curating energy has shifted fully to the airwaves. His Scientific Sound Asia show now serves as a space where he can share the same adventurous and wide-reaching selections that have defined his career, offering listeners an unpredictable and engaging journey each week.

Tam Yeung Show 05 opens in the gentle, flickering world of Susumu Yokota’s Future Tiger, its soft melodic fragments drifting like cherry blossoms in a digital breeze, before Ko Shin Moon weaves Middle-Eastern strings into psychedelic pulses and Don’t DJ locks into hypnotic polyrhythms that feel suspended between continents.

India Jordan injects a rush of hardcore euphoria, the emotional stabs recalling 90s warehouse bliss, while Bochum Welt’s crystalline remix sparkles with early Rephlex nostalgia, and The Sweat Boyz catapult us straight back to 1988 Miami with percolating vocoder joy. Monolake’s glacial dub chords descend like slow-moving icebergs, meeting Biosphere’s arctic ambient expanse and the mythic underwater electro of Drexciya’s Wavejumper, one of the most revered transmissions from Detroit’s aquatic legion.

SØS Gunver Ryberg and Nkisi bring ritualistic intensity, the former with industrial percussion storms and the latter with high-velocity Congolese trance patterns, before Gavin Bryars and Aphex Twin conjure the ghostly creaking of a sunken liner rising from the depths. Walton submerges us further into weightless bass pressure, Foul Play’s 1993 jungle classic still sounds impossibly lush, and µ-Ziq returns with intricate drill’n’bass filigree from his 2024 Grush album.

Robert Hood strips everything to pure minimalist hypnosis, DHS detonates the bingo-fueled rave bomb, and Green Velvet’s Explorer adds a dash of Chicago vocal madness. Fluxion’s endless dub streams provide breathing space, echoing the Chain Reaction golden era, before Kali Malone’s monumental organ drones close the journey on a note of profound sacrality, blurring the line between the sacred and the profane in slow, inexorable waves.

Tam Yeung Show 05 is a masterfully sequenced odyssey through four decades of electronic exploration, from ambient pioneers and electro myth-makers to today’s most visionary experimental voices, reminding us how vast and timeless this music remains.
