After Hours 430 is hosted by Hypnotised, with Igoa joining the programme as the featured guest on Scientific Sound Asia. 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 Ghent, Belgium, Hypnotised developed his musical background during the early years of major events such as I Love Techno and 10 Days of Techno. He performed across some of the city’s established party venues while exploring a broad range of electronic music before gradually refining his own direction.
Over time, his sound moved towards deeper, progressive and atmospheric material, with patient transitions and melodic development becoming central to his sets. That approach remains an important part of his identity both as a DJ and as a producer.
Together with PatriZe, Hypnotised co-hosts the long-running After Hours series. The programme has been broadcast through TM Radio in the United States, Cosmos Radio in Germany and Scientific Sound Asia Radio, helping the pair build an international audience.
The two artists also present AH Digital Essentials on Proton Radio, while Hypnotised hosts his own Energetic programme on Progressive Beats Radio. These shows provide additional space for new releases, independent producers and longer-form selections outside the club environment.
His broadcasting background also includes guest appearances on Ibiza Global Radio, Frisky Radio, DI.FM, Golden Wings Music Radio, Insomnia FM, Groove City Radio, Fnoob Techno Radio, Urgent FM and Ibiza Soul-Radio. Radio has therefore remained an important part of his work alongside club appearances, production and label management.
Hypnotised has shared line-ups with artists including Marco Bailey, Tom Hades, Purple Disco Machine, Jesse Rose and Nick Bril. His performances have included Amsterdam Dance Event, Deep on Deck Festival in South Africa, Club NL in Amsterdam, Decadance and Niche Club in Ghent, W Lounge in Amsterdam, Citylife in Terneuzen and Zanzibar in South Africa.
In 2015, he co-founded AH Digital with PatriZe and moved further into production. The label became a dedicated platform for deeper underground electronic music while giving both artists an outlet for their own releases and a wider international roster.
Their early People from the Otherworld project reached number four on Beatport’s Progressive House releases chart and entered the top twenty of the Techno and Tech House release charts. The title track was later remixed by Rui Da Silva, bringing further attention to the release and the label.
Further chart success followed with the Infinity EP, while the Man on the Moon alias gave Hypnotised another outlet for his studio work. His catalogue has since continued to expand through original productions, remixes and collaborations across a range of independent labels.
Recent work includes Between The Echoes on Vandit Alternative, alongside his remix with Frank Savio of Tabrissel’s The Master of Time and Thoughts for COMET Records. He has also remixed Ricardo Piedra’s Bungalow for Bonzai Progressive and Nikoow’s Weird Things with PatriZe for AH Digital.
His remix of Gabbe (AR)’s Blissing for SINCITY adds another recent release to a catalogue that now stretches well beyond his earlier work. AH Digital remains central to his activity as a producer, curator and label manager, while releases through labels including Bonzai Progressive, Vandit Alternative, SLC-6 Music, Pro-B-Tech Music and Stellar Fountain continue to broaden his profile.
After Hours 430 continues the established format with Hypnotised shaping the opening hour before Igoa takes over as the featured guest. The episode reflects the long-running identity of the series through deeper underground electronic music, gradual progression and international artist exchange.
Guest DJ Igoa (second hour)
This week’s guest DJ is Igoa, a Swiss selector whose international background has seen him live in more than ten countries over the course of several decades. That experience has given him a broad cultural perspective, while his musical direction remains centred on deeper, emotionally driven Progressive House.
His interest in electronic music developed through a search for tracks capable of creating a strong emotional response. That eventually led him towards DJing, where he could shape his own sets and build longer musical narratives from the records that resonated most strongly with him.
Rather than approaching a mix as a sequence of individual tracks, Igoa focuses on flow, atmosphere and gradual development. His selections are built to connect emotionally with listeners while maintaining the continuity needed for a cohesive club set.
Ibiza has played an important role in his development as a DJ. Time spent performing and refining his craft on the island gave him direct experience of Balearic club culture and the demands of audiences accustomed to long, carefully paced electronic music sessions.
His sets became known for smooth transitions and an emphasis on melodic continuity. That approach helped him build a following among listeners and partygoers who responded to the more emotive side of his selections.
Igoa’s international background also informs the way he approaches the dancefloor. Having experienced different cultures and environments, he brings a wider perspective to programming while keeping the musical direction focused and coherent.
At the centre of his work is a desire to create memorable shared moments through music. He treats DJing as a way of connecting people through atmosphere, progression and the emotional character of a well-constructed set.
For his appearance on After Hours 430, Igoa brings that international experience and Balearic influence into the guest section of the programme. His contribution adds another perspective to a series built around deeper electronic music, long-form mixing and melodic progression.
Hypnotised opens After Hours 430 with Julian Nates' "Megara", establishing a clear Progressive House direction before Th Moy's remix of Garance and Qlons introduces the first Melodic House and Techno variation. Francisco Castro's remix of Fran Serra and Montw's treatment of Agustin Vitale then pull the mix back towards Progressive House, keeping the opening hour focused and steadily developing.
Juan Martin continues that progressive flow before Ewan Rill's "Purple" shifts back into Melodic House and Techno, followed by Hypnotised and Patrize's remix of Juan Ibanez. Mariano Montori's remix of Julian Nates and GMJ with Matter's treatment of DJ San and Sebastian Moore close the first hour with another sustained Progressive House run, giving Hypnotised's section a clear balance between progressive structure and melodic detail.
Igoa begins the second hour with Gabriel Belmudes' "Canto De Sereia" on Sol Selectas, opening with Deep House before Giovanny Aparicio and Roze introduce consecutive Afro House selections. Mark Alow then brings the set back towards deeper territory with "Astrophilia", creating a more organic and rhythm-focused contrast with the first hour.
Paul Deep's "Anemona" provides the second hour's sole Progressive House selection before Volen Sentir's retouch of about : river introduces Organic House. Sebastien Leger's "Lanarka" adds another Melodic House and Techno turn, while Indid's "See You" returns to Deep House before Ucha closes with the organic character of "Sonsondergang".
Across Episode 430, Hypnotised delivers the more concentrated Progressive House and Melodic House and Techno first hour, while Igoa broadens the programme considerably through Deep House, Afro House and Organic House. The result is a two-hour session with a clearly progressive opening and a warmer, more varied second half built around deeper and more organic club music.
