Anonymous Z has unveiled the playlist for the upcoming Not So Anonymous 40 show. Scientific Sound Asia Radio operates as an online electronic music station, promoter, and DJ agency, serving both local and expatriate listeners throughout Asia.
Anonymous Z is highly regarded in Saigon, Vietnam, for pioneering the famous Mad Circus epic parties. Known as a harbinger of chaos to the soul, he notably established the first underground DJ collective in Bahrain, called Glassroom.
He led a varied group of eccentrics from different backgrounds, masterminding a string of parties and after-parties, some lawful and some not, that have since become the stuff of legend in the local nightlife lore. His guiding principle during this time was a statement of resistance: "They tried to bury us, but they didn't realize we were seeds."
He became a key member of the Banana Hustle crew, contributing significantly to the unique ambience of their tropical-themed events in Ho Chi Minh City. Although he started with a focus on Techno, his musical tastes broadened to include a variety of genres such as Afro, House, Disco, and Funk, reflecting his dedication to discovering distinctive tracks.
He enhances the collective experience with his unique selection of carefully curated Techno and contemporary Indie Dance tracks. His skill as a disc jockey has garnered him invitations to perform at esteemed underground venues in Vietnam, including Arcan, The Lighthouse, Broma, and Vitamin D after-parties.
His sets are often non-linear and improvised, taking cues from the crowd's energy, and span a variety of musical genres with tight, groovy basslines and grand, narrative-driven melodies that consistently stir a spectrum of emotions. As his style evolves, he shapes his sound by immersing himself in world music and delving into the origins of electronic music.
Occasionally, his performances drift into the realms of trippy, dark downtempo pieces, enriched with a powerful mix of tribal and South American elements. He also creates groovy, yet sombre Leftfield Electro arrangements, skillfully integrating aspects of Indie Dance, Nu Disco, Electroclash, New Wave, Wave, New Beat, Dark Wave, and Dark Disco into his auditory mosaic.
In the underground music scenes of the Middle East and Vietnam, he sharpens his appreciation for dark and hypnotic rhythms. He navigates between evocative ethnic sounds and grandiose synths, his penchant for intense basslines and rhythmic percussion harmonizing with the pulse of the dance floor.
This week, 'Not So Anonymous' invites you on a cosmic journey filled with cybernetic and space shuttle sounds, exploring the enigmatic wonders of the galaxy as we travel from planet to planet. Anonymous Z has chosen to feature two lively and robotic tracks by his friend Anwar K (a.k.a Cyber Loom) from Discal.
This set the stage for the remainder of the show, which featured a sequence of Electro, Space Disco, Techno, Nu Disco, and some Cyber & robotic elements as well. First aired on Sunday, April 25th, the show is available for listening on the Mixcloud player below.
