Demonslayer is the alias of Vietnamese-American visual artist, creative director, curator, DJ, and music producer Dan Nguyen. Born and raised in Southern California and Saigon, Vietnam, the multi-disciplinary artist grew up immersing himself in the arts. With murals and exhibitions all over the world and multiple festival appearances under his belt including Coachella and Sonar, Dan continues to blaze trails globally through his work.

For his exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World, Demonslayer has titled his mix "Viet Eras Mix pt.1" and focused on unearthing rare gems spanning across multiple eras and genres — from new school Saigon cloud trap and R&B, to banned Vietnamese rock and soul from before the war, to obscure Vietnamese new wave made in 1980s California, and more. It's an eclectic, thrilling, and cohesive glimpse into new and old gems from an array of Vietnamese artists.
