After Hours 416 sees Hypnotised return to Scientific Sound Asia with guest DJ Julian Liander. 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.
Hypnotised is a DJ, producer and label manager from Ghent, Belgium, whose early development was shaped by the city’s strong electronic music culture. Events such as I Love Techno and 10 Days of Techno formed part of the environment in which he began exploring a broad range of club styles.
Over time, his musical direction became increasingly focused on deeper Progressive House, melodic structures and Techno-influenced rhythms. Extended transitions, controlled pacing and layered arrangements became central to the way he approached longer DJ sets.
Alongside PatriZe, he developed After Hours as a platform for extended selections and international guest DJs. The programme gives both hosts room to establish their own musical direction while introducing artists connected with the wider Progressive House and underground electronic scene.
Radio has remained an important part of his activity, with appearances across platforms including Ibiza Global Radio, Frisky Radio, DI.FM, Golden Wings Music Radio, Insomnia FM, Groove City Radio and Fnoob Techno Radio. He has also been involved with AH Digital Essentials alongside PatriZe and the Energetic series on Progressive Beats Radio.
His performance history has included appearances alongside Marco Bailey, Tom Hades, Purple Disco Machine, Jesse Rose and Nick Bril. Events and venues have included Amsterdam Dance Event, Deep on Deck in South Africa, Club NL in Amsterdam, Decadance in Ghent and other international club settings.
In 2015, he co-founded and began managing AH Digital with PatriZe while developing his production work further. Their collaborative EP People from the Otherworld reached number four on Beatport’s Progressive House chart, with the title track later remixed by Rui Da Silva.
His Infinity EP also performed strongly across Beatport’s Prog House, Trance and Techno charts. The project reinforced the link between his DJing, production work and the deeper melodic direction associated with AH Digital.
In 2016, he began producing under the alias Man on the Moon, using the project for another side of his studio work. The debut track Sense was signed to Bonzai Progressive, while a remix connected with the project won a Metapop competition and received support from Studio Brussel.
Beyond AH Digital, his catalogue has been connected with labels including Bonzai Progressive, Green Martian, SLC-6 Music, Pro-B-Tech Music, Stellar Fountain, Vesta Records, Abstract Space Records, Aeriform Records and Mystic Carousel Records. That wider label history reflects the range of deeper Progressive House and melodic electronic music that has shaped his production work.
Episode 416 welcomes Julian Liander as the featured guest, continuing the series’ long-standing format of pairing his opening selection with a second perspective from the international underground. The guest appearance adds another layer to an edition built around progressive structure, melodic detail and the patient pacing that has become central to After Hours.
Guest DJ (second hour) Julian Liander.
This edition’s second-hour guest is Julian Liander, an Argentine DJ and producer whose work has developed across Progressive House and deeper melodic electronic music. His early influences included Depeche Mode, The Police, Hernan Cattaneo and Gustavo Cerati, combining electronic, alternative and progressive ideas within the musical background that shaped his approach.
Julian’s connection with Progressive House became central to both his DJing and production, with artists such as Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Tim Penner, Nicolas Rada and Dale Middleton among the names that influenced his direction. His sets emphasise gradual development and musical continuity, an approach also reflected through his Innerbloom radio programme.
His earlier catalogue included releases and remixes through labels such as ICONYC Noir, Balkan Connection, Just Movement, Amitabha, Massive Harmony, Light Side Music and AH Digital. His productions also received support from DJs including Hernan Cattaneo, Mariano Mellino and Gui Milani, helping connect his work with the wider international Progressive House scene.
During 2026, Julian’s catalogue increasingly expanded into Organic House alongside his Progressive House background. Releases such as Soul Embrace on 3rd Avenue, Numa and Meraki on Loot Recordings, and Blossom and Halo through Worlds Apart illustrate that deeper and more organic direction.
Collaboration has also remained an important part of his production work, with Dance With Her alongside Mauro Masi and Runa and Ashar created with Mauro Masi and Brian David. These projects sit alongside remix work including Casnik and Gaston Perez’s The Happy Hour and Missfeat’s Grimbergen.
Later 2026 releases continued that activity with Lamento through 3rd Avenue and White Orchid on Loot Recordings. His remix of Mou Mou’s Replay for AMITABHA added another release to a year in which Organic House became an increasingly visible part of his catalogue.
Julian Liander’s appearance on After Hours connects his earlier Progressive House foundations with the deeper direction found across his more recent work. His second-hour set brings together years of DJing, radio and production experience within a programme already closely associated with progressive and melodic underground electronic music.
Hypnotised opens After Hours 416 with Gav Easby's remix of Kay-D's Helix Planet, immediately establishing a Progressive House direction that continues through Highjacks' Venus and Lio Q's remix of Connor Mac's Casablanca. Albuquerque and Foletto's Tales of Galaxy keeps that flow intact before Robin Thurston's remix of Anthony Yarranton's Aircode adds another measured, melodic layer.
Hypnotised and PatriZe's remix of Mauerhuhn's Chasm anchors the middle of the first hour, followed by Antrim and Artfaq's reworking of The Cure's Just Like Heaven. Andre Moret's remix of Santo Adriano's Finding Peace in the Eye of the Storm and Haievyk's remix of Scott Rotton's Acid Souls close the hour without leaving its Progressive House foundation.
Julian Liander begins the second hour with Gorje Hewek and Izhevski's Vetter, introducing Deep House before Nick Newman's Hysteria returns the programme to Progressive House. Cid Inc. and Orsen's remix of DJ Zombi's Octopus and Volen Sentir's The Great Escape then continue the guest set with a broader, gradually evolving progressive feel.
Sapienta's Retrospection keeps the momentum steady before Slow Hearts' Sands of Time introduces Melodic House and Techno into the sequence. Katzen's Diciembre and Juan Astudillo's ReDirector Mix of Guy J's Dizzy Moments then bring the second hour back towards Progressive House.
Juan Deminicis' Prana provides one final Deep House excursion before Luka Sambe closes the episode with Redzepi. Across both hours, After Hours 416 remains overwhelmingly progressive, with Julian Liander adding small Deep House and Melodic House and Techno detours to complement Hypnotised's tightly focused opening set.
