Dr Moonstruck presents the third edition of Uncharted Frequency on Scientific Sound Asia, with the programme's published playlist documented below. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, promoter, DJ agency and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Uncharted Frequency is a bi-weekly sound show on Scientific Sound Asia Radio and a collaborative initiative between Dhaka-based artist Shayekh Mohammad Arif, known as Dr Moonstruck, and Colombo-based artist Hersiaz Hasi. The show acts as a meeting point for experimental and underground sounds from across the world.
The host, Dr Moonstruck, is Shayekh Mohammad Arif, a DJ and producer from Dhaka, Bangladesh. He is also a composer, sound-collector and audio-visual artist working across new media.
His productions draw on industrial elements, noise-driven provocation and avant-garde electronics, often forming sonic commentaries on modern society, political behaviour, collective identity and the culture industries. Much of his performance work is built from site-specific recordings that he shapes into interactive audio-visual pieces.
He is an active figure in the Bangladeshi contemporary art scene and performs regularly as an experimental electronic musician, both solo and in collaborative formations including duos, bands and hybrid instrumental setups. His work has appeared in a range of festivals, exhibitions and interdisciplinary showcases.
He has served as the artistic director of Half Moon Collectives in Dhaka since 2016, is a resident artist of Delta Tribe Dhaka, and works as a sound artist with Soul City Arts in the UK. His catalogue includes releases across eleven international labels and collaborations with artists from the UK, Netherlands, Australia, Russia, Mexico, Algeria, Germany, Iran, the USA and Bangladesh.
A significant achievement in his career was performing at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre as part of the Transforming Narratives initiative supported by Arts Council England and the British Council. He also featured at Birmingham Weekender and contributed to the Knights of the Raj exhibition programme at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, performing alongside live instrumentalists.
Beyond these highlights, he has appeared at more than thirty-five respected events including Shakti Peak Festival in Nepal, BUKAN Night at the British Council, the Knights of the Raj afterparty, StartUP Dhaka, DUNMUN Fest, ATYA Festival and many others. He was awarded Artist of the Month by Colours FM in Dhaka, and his sound scores have been played on over fifty international radio shows.
He has also been invited by more than twenty-five global radio stations to present his experimental sound showcases, each delivered with notable success. These appearances place his work across performance, exhibition and radio contexts in Bangladesh and beyond.
Uncharted Frequency 3 with Dr Moonstruck opens with Markus Hakala's Kay-D remix of Marrakesh on Addictive Sounds, establishing a warm, spacious Progressive House tone. Guy J's Beast Of Sea on Lost&Found follows with deep aquatic movement, before Kabi (AR)'s Gux Jimenez remix of Horizonte on Droid9 adds further atmosphere.
Pedro Capelossi's Gux Jimenez remix of The Legend of Hannya on Modern Agenda retains the early depth, while D.J. MacIntyre and Dr. B's Diego Berrondo and Alex Efe remix of Grey Gardens on Droid9 brings a hypnotic pulse. An unreleased ID on White Label then introduces a more forceful Peak Time Techno edge without disrupting the atmosphere.
Mike Griego's Cid Inc. remix of Solaris on Replug supplies rolling momentum, matched by the reflective glow of rAin (MU)'s Gux Jimenez remix of Reflections on INU. Stan Kolev and Aaron Suiss then bring Anomolous from Outta Limits into the centre of the set with a polished groove.
Boral Kibil and Beken's Sezer Uysal remix of Alfa on Dear Deer Black introduces crisp detail from Melodic House and Techno, before Matan Caspi's For A While on Outta Limits returns to deeper melodic territory. Yeadon's Sundance on UV brings a brighter lift, and Jerome Isma-Ae and Alastor's Sean and Dee extended remix of Tiger on Jee Productions pushes the pace onwards.
The Advocate's Tone Depth remix of Cosmic Night on Timeless Moment uses expressive melodic phrasing to take the set into its late phase. CamelPhat featuring Yannis Foals' ARTBAT remix of Hypercolour on RCA adds dramatic weight while preserving the programme's measured progression.
Patric's Eighteen Five on CDR opens the final stretch with cinematic weight, followed by the reflective textures of Sioss' Initial on UV. Edu Imbernon featuring Mordem's Innellea remix of Underwater Breathtaking on Fayer provides a resonant, melodic ending to this third Uncharted Frequency edition.
