NIC FORD (@nic-ford)

Nic Ford moved to Vietnam from the UK around 10 years ago, and has been running and featuring on lineups of parties throughout the region since then. He has been a resident of The Observatory since it first opened in 2013. Honing his craft since the mid-nineties, he held his first residency at Dry 201 (Factory Records, New Order) in Manchester and is a voracious collector of a vast array of music. He’s also an acclaimed producer, being one half of MadderModes, a production outfit that has releases on a range of impressive labels including Millions of Moments and DRED Records.
The sound that Nic Ford is able to project and develop over one of his eclectic sets can range from anything from deep U.S and U.K house, techno and electro to experimental and IDM movements to droned-out European hypnosis, over to mechanized, industrial acid techno and over again to organic rhythms and carnal house. His capacity for eclecticism is balanced by his ability to zone in and focus on concentrated flows in dedicated directions. Always put together with grace and precision, it’s music for escape in its most pure form.

MADDERMODES (@maddermodes)

MadderModes’ first official release SCP01 came in 2014 with a self released 12" under their own Shift Coordinate Points imprint. After that was their 2015 release on Millions Of Moments 'Green Corn Moon EP' which contained a track entitled 'Myth Of The Muses" which was included on Berghain resident Nick Hoppners RA mix and made its way into the playlists of many respected artists including Move D. In late 2015 came "Dark Dust EP" on Andre Kronert's Night Drive Music and in early 2016 the "Empirical Evidence EP" was released on Voodoo Down Records - “The mood is warm and ever so slightly psychedelic across all four tracks on the Empirical Evidence 12”, not least on the sublime opening cut “Corinthian Columns” with its cascading new age melodic lines and delicate drum machine patterns.” Juno Records
2018 saw the release of the Box It Ken EP on John Osborne's new label DRED which had support from B Traits on her BBC radio 1 show and in November 2019 MadderModes latest release was again on their own Shift Coordinate Points label SCP02 with early support from Marum on his NTS radio mix.

Sen10za (@sen10zaa)

From Lyon (Fr), he started to follow his path, early 2017, in Portuguese underground scene with few
appearance in Techno music events in Aveiro. Later that year, he moved to Hanoi (Vietnam) where he
joined the local scene with electric and high energized funk music, within the eccentric duo Funky 69.
And more recently created a duo project with Di Linh: Melting Pizza.

The desire to develop his own path is getting him to rediscover himself with more electronic color-
ful tracks. His music can be currently described as groovy acid house music. Questioning himself

constantly and following his different moods Sen10za is proposing a very own perception of music
at a time T. You listen to him at a unique moment of his path, always in movement.
This journey behind the decks got him to play a wide range of genre. This background slowly gives
him enough weapons to adapt in any circumstances. Sen10za’s flexibility allows him to build up as
well meaningful set as explosifs and unpredictable ones, at any time, day and night. In each case he
is always telling his story and his current mood, always aiming to connect with the people.
Some references in Vietnam: Studio Adventure, Savage, Snug, SBD, Observatory, HUM

His set has kept us glued to the floor, thanks to the endless not-so-dramatic but still fiercely groovy vibes. I can feel his passion for music through his unbroken groove and amazing selection.

The first time I met Marron san was when I was living in Hanoi in 2017.
From there we played at the event every year in Hoi An and Saigon as tour support.

However, I was always healed by his interesting and zen ambient and excellent guitar performance. Thank you for the opportunity to share this feeling with more people. (Teruu)

Kazuma (TONEFLOAT / platform) @kazumanamiki

Kazuma was born in Japan, 1975. There he started his musical journey from 90’s hiphop, ever since that time he spent most of his time as a seekers after musical enthusiasm, digging ravenously any kind of music, experimental, jazz, ambient, abstract, house, tech house, techno etc. 

His first professional step into electronic music was abstract hiphop DJ, but just in a few years he became famous by his unique activities around Kyoto underground scene, seeking elements that stir peoples’s imagination, like environmental sounds of old temple, drab texture of factory architecture, and reconstitute an abstract sound scape from those elements.

After moving to Kyoto city 1998, and being inspired by lots of collaboration with world class artists, his style was slightly shifted from experimental to more comfort something. Once he was a experimentalist of night club, but now is a reliable tour guide for trippy sound journey. Today he keeps his feet on the ground of Kyoto but he is always traveling his underground network throughout Japan. His quest for music still goes on.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We've just received a radio mix worthy of your attention.
This is a mix by Kazuma from Kyoto, Japan, who played at Studio Adventure in Hanoi 2018 and completely rocked the floor until morning with his skillful mixes and great sound control.

CONG (TWH, Half.Half) @little-c-ng

CONG Started to research Electronic music and DJ-ing skills as a hobby when he was 22 years old and officially had a debut show in 2017 in his homeland: Hanoi, Vietnam. Having been insprired by music so soon and consistently kept searching as well as learning to gain knowledge about music gernes, music labels, producers…. He is now a resident dj and also a producer in TWH (The warehouse Club) and Half.half (Local event base in Hanoi founder by Min8) . 

Till this day, CONG often plays in familiar places like TWH (the warehouse), Savage, Kobala, Smack Dab, to name a few, through local event and festival by HUM, Half.Half, Studio Adventure, Sunlit festival. Besides. He has worked with many talented DJs so far like Ouissam Mokretar, Min8, Quan ..etc..

CONG has been successful at bringing him taste of music around Vietnam, from local parties from Ha Noi to Sai Gon, Da Nang, Phu Quoc, His Dj set is a harmonic mixture of different gernes ranging from House, Techno, Disco, Break, DnB in every kind of format like digital or vinyl with many different vibe and many more.

https://www.stampthewax.com/2022/02/10/diggers-directory-cong/

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He is a rare Vietnamese DJ who insists on playing on vinyl.
In Vietnam, the importation of second-hand vinyl is strictly regulated, and the vinyls he owns are mainly new vinyls imported from overseas record shops.
Also, considering the average wage in Vietnam, vinyl itself is expensive compared to people in developed countries, and it is certainly not easy to buy vinyl.

In such an environment, Cong's future looks forward to seeing how he will play on vinyl while other DJs around him are playing on data.(Teruu)

In Vietnam, it is said that the government destroyed most of the art and culture after the Vietnam War. The same goes for the record culture.
However, there are two famous collectors in the country who went around to the houses of their grandparents in the countryside and bought records that still existed.
One of them, Datodeo, who is also a resident DJ of The Observatory, made a mix using only rare Vietnamese recordings and presented it at Mole Hole, a party of Mogra Radio based in Saigon.
Some of the tracks are not even on Discogs and are worth up to $600 a piece! (Teruu)
