Cali’s HouseNation Radio returns with Nocturne of Digital Audio Kingz hosting another edition on Scientific Sound Asia, with Chicago-based DJ RoseRed joining him as the featured guest. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music news platform, connecting underground artists and listeners across the region and internationally.
Originally from Los Angeles and now based in San Diego, Nocturne began DJing in 2007 under the name DJ Turiz. His early selections included Reggaeton and Hip Hop alongside Latin styles such as Bachata, Merengue, Salsa and Cumbia, giving him a broad musical foundation through performances across Southern California.
That early experience required Nocturne to work across different styles and audiences rather than remaining within a single musical direction. His ability to adapt his selections eventually provided a foundation for the transition towards electronic music that followed.
Around 2013, Nocturne shifted his focus increasingly towards electronic music and co-founded Digital Audio Kingz with DJ MORE. Their activity expanded into radio alongside DJing, giving him another platform through which to develop his interest in House and related club music.
In 2018, he adopted the Nocturne name and launched Cali’s HouseNation Radio as a dedicated House and dance music programme. The show later expanded through the CHNR Syndication Network, extending its reach beyond Southern California to radio platforms and listeners internationally.
Nocturne has continued developing different sides of his collection through projects including On the Deep End, which explores deeper, progressive and melodic areas of House and Techno. His Deep House Sessions provide another outlet for the warmer and more groove-focused side of his musical identity.
These different formats allow Nocturne to explore separate areas of electronic music while maintaining House as the central connection between them. Cali’s HouseNation Radio remains the broader platform, combining his own selections with guest DJs representing different parts of the international House scene.
Guest DJs RoseRed.
This edition’s featured artist is RoseRed, a Chicago-based DJ, producer and vocalist whose work is closely connected with the city’s House music tradition. Her musical background draws from Latin, Jazz, Disco, Funk, R&B and Gospel, all of which helped shape the rhythmic and vocal character of her later work.
RoseRed became involved with House music in 2000 at the age of nineteen after meeting local DJs who introduced her to Chicago’s underground scene. She began collecting records and developing her own style, influenced by artists including Lil Louis, Paul Johnson, Derrick Carter, Cajmere, Mark Farina, Lego, DJ Dan, DJ Jes and the Super Jane collective.
Within a year, she began receiving bookings and secured an early residency in Wrigleyville, giving her regular experience behind the decks. Her sets developed around soulful and vocal House alongside Jackin House, Latin, Afro and Tech House, with percussion and groove remaining central to her approach.
Over the years, RoseRed has shared line-ups with artists including Lil Louis, Mark Farina, DJ Heather, DJ Colette, DJ Mes, Miguel Migs and Andre Hatchett. Her performance history has included lounges, clubs, festivals and events across Chicago and beyond.
Her radio and livestream work has included appearances and residencies with Housebroken Events Chicago, DJ International Radio, Phrostvybe Radio and Esmeralda’s Caribbean Cocktail Lounge. She has also been involved with The Red Lab and The Red Garden through HouseNationMusic on Twitch, alongside radio activity with DaBooth312.
RoseRed expanded further into production in 2022, leading to the release of her debut EP Our World through S&S Records in early 2023. The label, founded by Steve “Silk” Hurley and Shannon “DJ Skip” Syas, provided a direct connection between her own material and Chicago’s wider House music history.
In 2025, she collaborated with DJ Seven on Sneak Up On It, which reached number fourteen on Traxsource’s Jackin House Top 100 and also appeared across several specialist charts. The release was followed by What A Rush on House Global Alliance, continuing her production work within the broader Jackin and groove-led House scene.
RoseRed’s appearance on Cali’s HouseNation Radio brings a direct Chicago perspective to a programme already rooted in different strands of House music. Her background as a DJ, vocalist and producer gives the guest mix a connection with both the city’s established traditions and the contemporary underground scene.
DJ Nocturne opens the first hour with soulful Deep House from Crackazat’s In The Sky (Kaap Remix), Canavezzi’s Mantra and DP-6’s Peace Of Mind, laying down a smooth and atmospheric start. Tiger Stripes’ Far Out and Lavenge & Shirali’s We Are One deepen the groove with warm, hypnotic energy before shifting into the upbeat pulse of House Music.
The flow continues with Jay Vegas’ Happy Days (Classic Club Mix) and Claptone’s Put Your Love On Me (Marco Lys Mix), bringing an injection of classic dancefloor spirit. Darius Syrossian’s Tengo La Musica builds momentum towards a Tech House peak, where Kaiser Waldon and Lloyd Nwagboso’s Feel The Beat and Angel Heredia’s Need To Feel Love close the hour with full rhythmic drive.
Rose Red takes over the second hour with bold Tech House selections, starting strongly with Jewel Kid’s Oh Lord and James Hurr’s You Get Down. Angel Heredia and Frenzy Music’s No No No and Hatiras’ Hypnotized keep the percussive energy flowing, while Hardcopy’s La Busola and Camila Jun’s Let Me Feel add deeper club textures.
The mix intensifies with Sven Tasnadi’s Cuckoo and Crusy and Alex Now’s Supersonic, balancing groove and grit as the second hour develops. Hoxton Whores’ Don’t Go (The Refresh) and Deep Fiktion’s Versions Of You close the episode with soulful hooks and late-night drive, rounding out another two hours of house-focused club music from DJ Nocturne and Rose Red.
