Đi Đi Đi

⭐️ SELECTED IN DJ MAG’S TOP COMPILATIONS OF THE YEAR ⭐️

To accompany ISSUE 02, we invited seven Vietnamese queer artists—from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, alongside their diasporic counterparts from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and New York City—to interpret the Vietnamese phrase “Đi Đi Đi” through their own sonic language.

“Đi Đi Đi” is a staple of everyday Vietnamese speech, literally translating to “Go Go Go.” More than just a command, this phrase is a spark, a playful yet urgent push to move faster, go harder, and get it done. It encapsulates not only the pace of Vietnamese life which inspires much of its underground sound, but also the scene’s collective drive against compartmentalized freedom. 

100% of revenue from this record’s sales and streaming go directly to A Queer Museum, Vietnam’s first collective queer-feminist archiving space, supporting their work to document LGBTQIA+ history, host community-led events, and strengthen grassroots initiatives by sharing resources such as venue space, communications, and community support.

Features

DJ Mag

"The compilation leans toward futurism, deconstructing club music while reflecting the intensity of Vietnam’s urban centres... It’s an electrifying portrait of Vietnam’s underground, rooted in history, racing toward its own future."

Resident Advisor

"A new VA compilation curated by No One Magazine is highlighting a slate of rising queer producers from Vietnam and the Vietnamese diaspora."
