After Hours, hosted by PatriZe, returns with another edition on Scientific Sound Asia, featuring the host in the opening hour before guest DJ Lucas Rodriguez takes over for the second. 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.
The programme is centred on Progressive House while also drawing from deeper, melodic and Techno-influenced areas of electronic music. Its format combines his first-hour selection with a second-hour guest set from DJs and producers connected with the international underground.
Originally from Belgium and now based in Thailand, he began exploring electronic music during his teenage years after acquiring his first turntables. His early interests leaned towards harder Trance and Techno before gradually shifting towards the more melodic and detailed structures of Progressive House.
An important stage in his development came in 2010 through his connection with Pole Folder of Bedrock Records and Reworck. Around the same period, he won the Night Museum DJ competition in France and earned the opportunity to open for Guy J.
Those experiences strengthened his connection with the Progressive House DJs scene and helped shape the direction his DJing would take. His sets developed around careful track selection, gradual progression and melodic layering supported by deeper and more technical rhythms.
From Thailand, he establishedAfter Hours as regular platforms for underground Prog House. The programmes have given him space to present his own selections while also introducing guest DJs and producers from different parts of the international scene.
In April 2015, he co-founded AH Digital with fellow Belgian DJ and producer Hypnotised. The label became closely connected with their production work and with a wider network of artists working across Progressive House Songs and related styles.
Their early collaboration People from the Otherworld became one of the project’s notable releases, reaching number four in Beatport’s Progressive House chart while also entering its Techno and Tech House rankings. The title track was later remixed by Rui Da Silva, adding another established producer to the release.
AH Digital has remained an important part of his work as both a producer and label operator. Its connection with After Hours also provides a direct link between the programme, new releases and artists working within the wider Progressive House community.
He continues to develop his work through DJing, production, radio and label activity while maintaining a strong focus on deeper Progressive House. His approach remains centred on controlled pacing, melodic development and the kind of underground selection that has defined After Hours across its long-running series.
Guest DJ (second hour) Lucas Rodriguez.
his edition’s second-hour guest is Lucas Rodriguez, full name Lucas Ezequiel Rodríguez, a DJ and producer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He began exploring electronic music in 2010, moving through Trance and Tech House before Progressive House became the main direction of his work.
Over time, Lucas developed from DJing into production, building a catalogue centred on Progressive House and related melodic electronic music. His activity has included performances at venues and bars across Buenos Aires and southern Argentina, often alongside other artists from the local Progressive House scene.
He also studied at Inartec, the School of Sound and Music Production, where he received formal training in production and mixing. That background broadened his technical understanding across different formats and strengthened the studio side of his work alongside DJing.
His earlier catalogue includes High in the Sky on Consapevole Recordings, later remixed by DJ Bird, and a remix of Rockka’s Time Traveler for Droid9. Both releases reinforced his connection with Progressive while giving him experience through established genre-focused labels.
In 2026, Lucas returned with Homecoming and Simply Life on Emotional Content Recordings. Both tracks continue his Progressive direction through extended arrangements, reinforcing the melodic and atmospheric approach that has shaped his work since moving away from his earlier Trance and Tech House influences.
Lucas Rodriguez’s appearance on After Hours places that background within a programme closely connected with the international Progressive House scene. His second-hour set brings an Argentine perspective shaped by years of DJing, formal production training and a catalogue that continues to develop within the genre.
PatriZe opens After Hours 417 with Sahar Z's Mixed Feelings, setting a patient Progressive House tone before Hermanez and Eran Aviner deepen the flow with Storyteller. Michael A's Slow Down continues the measured progression, while Khen's private bootleg of Radiohead's Exit Music provides the hour's only Deep House diversion.
Ezequiel Arias and Artfaq bring the selection back towards Progressive House with Varial, followed by GMJ's remix of Eric Lune's Embers. Alex O'Rion then reshapes Antrim and Ezequiel Arias' White Moon, keeping the middle and latter part of the hour focused on long transitions and controlled melodic tension.
GMJ and Matter's remix of DJ San and Sebastian Moore's Virga maintains that deep progressive character before Alex O'Rion returns on the remix of Tash, Paul Angelo and Don Argento's Exapsis. The track closes PatriZe's first hour with the same restrained, atmospheric approach that runs through the set from beginning to end.
Lucas Rodriguez starts the second hour with Alberto Hernandez's To the Moon and Back, introducing another Deep House moment before Sapienta's Retrospection restores the dominant Progressive House direction. Dimel De Silva's remix of ALPHA21 and Disto follows before Lucas Rodriguez takes on Rockka's Heavens Gate, placing his own remix at the centre of the set.
Axel Terblanche's remix of Guido Dirisio continues the steady progression before Don Longton and Galvano bring consecutive selections from IN2U Records. Weird Sounding Dude's remix of Nikko Mavridis then adds another deep and spacious passage before Sides closes the programme with Underwater Adventure.
Across After Hours 417, the host andguest keep both hours tightly centred on Progressive Music, with only two Deep House tracks providing brief changes of tone. The episode favours gradual development, melodic depth and measured energy, with artists including Michael A, Ezequiel Arias, GMJ, Alex O'Rion and Weird Sounding Dude shaping the flow.
