As some of you may know, BuruN ĐăngA is twin brothers with Tourguide. I met them both on the streets of Tokyo, and since he speaks fluent Japanese, we often talked about Vietnam in English and Japanese afterwards. His deep love for partying and Vietnam is evident in his mix, which, while perhaps a different approach than Tourguide's, reminded me of what it feels like to be at a rave deep in the mountains of Japan.

BuruN ĐăngA
Đăng-Vũ Đặng is a Dutch born Vietnamese multi-disciplinary artist based in Amsterdam, the city that has greatly influenced his musical journey for the past two decades: from the hip hop dance scene in his teens to the music and club scene in the latter half of his life. Privately organized deep listening sessions would spark his interest in digging for music with the potential to open the mind and body to transcendental states; a never-ending and ever- evolving quest that organically led him to mix behind the decks as BuruN ĐăngA, a name that refers to the hypnotic compound extracted from the highly psychoactive plants Brugmansia suaveolens and Datura stramonium whose distinct flowers are known as angel’s- and devil’s trumpets; flowers hinting towards his selections: from heavenly ethereal ambient to deep, dark, trippy, hypnotic dance and trance inducing music.
