METRØ is a Vietnam based party collective founded in 2019 with the primary focus of pushing the underground notion, showcasing top tier artists from the local scene and globally. The collective  continues to gain notoriety for their musical direction and aesthetics. 

Collective direction. 

In 2023 the collective aims to grow their identity among the local community, continuing to bring insight into the so called “minimal” digger DJ scene - not the genre but an approach to music pioneered by the likes of Nicolas Lutz, Villalobos, Zip and Onur Ozer. An exciting corner of dance music and vinyl culture showcasing stripped-down 90s house and techno that is both timeless and of the moment.

With an ever-growing popularity the collective focuses on bringing a memorable sensory experience to the dancefloor. With meticulous thought and preparation, each event is finely tuned to ensure the night is filled with only what is right.

METRØ w/TrinhNu 21st January 2023

The first time when TrinhNu (Ching-Nuh, translated “Virgin Girl” in Vietnamese) got into the party scene was in 2016 as a guest DJ for Hanoi’s own Queer Disco at CAMA ATK. He later discovered a brand new electronic hub of Hanoi - Savage and became a regular then, both being on the dance floor and then behind the deck. 

Despite being a young and fresh newcomer, TrinhNu has shown a unique taste in music which shines through by his selection: a blend of energetic Disco and leftfield House, hybrid Techno and Breakbeat in between, some “quirky” Trance and surprising gems. He then had his chance to play around Vietnam and share his mixes on many beloved queer podcasts, including Honcho, Por Detroit and notably Honey Soundsystem, which was listed as one of series’ most favourite mixes according to Resident Advisor. 

In addition to his spinning job, TrinhNu also spends his hours on music production - by making the club edit of his favourites and crafting his own tracks. His music - a mixture of high energy beats, mellow pads and playful melodies - is a love letter to the nineties’ dance music and early progressive sounds. His debut ‘MIHN007’ on Hong Kong’s 宀 label is the finest example and the truest sound that TrinhNu always aim to make.

MIX039 - Trinhnu （河內）

For the debut episode of Genderfunk Radio, it only felt right to call on someone who’s been holding it down for Hanoi’s baby queers since the early days: TrinhNu—aka Nam Phung (宀 Music / Studio Adventure, Hanoi). A staple of the scene since 2016 and part of the first wave of queer Vietnamese DJs to step into the spotlight.

We could go on for days about this queen’s accomplishments, mixes, and crazy releases, but we’d rather leave the door open for you to explore more yourself—you’ll be impressed. 

About this mix, he says, ‘My mood’s been good lately, so the mix is a bit chaotic.’ Translation? A wild ride through unpredictability, moods, and BPMs—and we are absolutely living for it. 💅🏼 We couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick things off. Let’s go big! 🌈

Genderfunk #1 with TrinhNu

For us, Tet is getting gayer by the year, and now we’ve got Britney Spears’ snake (or python?) lined up for 2025. Can you imagine?!🐍 To celebrate, we’re welcoming a new friend who’s been weaving his way deeper into Vietnam’s queer scene with every visit: Sam PV. She’s been busy! From Savage (Hanoi) to Kockiri (Seoul) to (Re)treat Festival (Vietnam), Sam’s definitely been making plenty of friends in our corner of the globe. Known for his iconic Pumping Velvet parties in London since 2018, we’re thrilled to share a little of that sparkle to you. About his mix, Sam says something about edging… and honestly, it is the fantasy. Enjoy! 🎶🍌💦

“For this mix I wanted to create an hour of dancing music for queers of all persuasions that also provides the kind of enjoyable home listening experience that makes you wish you were out dancing. The mix is all about balance and restraint, coursing with sex, pop and c***y nrg, while never becoming outright banging. A bit like the aural equivalent of edging ;-)” - Sam

Genderfunk #3 with Luffy

From Homing:
It’s been a whirlwind the past couple of weeks. I had the absolute pleasure of playing at two wild queer parties—Sublet and Leak Your Own Nudes—right before Mardi Gras in Sydney, joined by our Homopleasure collective from Taiwan and the Unfunded Empathy collective from Sydney. After that, I hopped on a plane to Seoul for a rave gig, Permit, at a former power plant, co-organized by Taiwan’s Organik Festival. I feel incredibly blessed to have performed in front of such dedicated crowds—it honestly filled me with the most electric energy. I want to channel that newfound strength, pure joy, some sentiments and gratitude that I felt on the dance floor into this mix. Late summer sunshine in Sydney, late winter snow in Seoul, both captured, reflected in one, with my goofy queer-nergy.

Oh, and I want to introduce the world to a mega Mandarin pop star (who might not need introduction though) who is an aboriginal Taiwanese and has had a huge influence on generations in Taiwan, especially in our queer community. When she sings “You are my sister, you are my baby,” I just want to send that love out into the universe.

Love,
Gemnital

Genderfunk #4 with Gemnital

From Debbie:

I came back from playing at GenderFunk this weekend with a full heart and empty battery. So for this mix I wanted to create something as bright and sunny as all the people who made this experience so special for me.

Thank you Duy, Park, Kin, Luffy, Esta, Linnea and all the rest for being such warm and wonderful hosts — and to my darling Javi, it wouldn’t have been the same without you there to hype me up in the booth.

What I have for you is a little bit of everything that makes me smile in house music. It’s a bit silly, a bit sassy, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Full of camp. Somewhere in the middle there’s an edit of this iconic flamenco pop song, Bandido, that has been one of my favourites since 18-year-old baby me heard it at a drag show in Madrid. I love to squeeze a cheesy track or two into my mixes, and this one has a stuffed crust. I hope you enjoy.

Love, peace, and f*ggotry,

Debs 💕
