After Hours 446 features Hypnotised at the helm with guest DJ J Lannutti joining the programme on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music news platform serving listeners across the region and internationally.
Hypnotised is a Belgian DJ, producer and label head from Ghent whose musical background developed through the city’s electronic music culture. Early exposure to events such as I Love Techno and 10 Days of Techno helped shape his interest in underground club music and the deeper side of electronic production.
During the early stages of his career, he performed across clubs and events around Ghent while exploring a broad range of electronic styles. Over time, his direction became increasingly focused on deeper Progressive House, melodic material and Techno-influenced rhythms.
That approach has become central to the way Hypnotised constructs both club sets and radio programmes. Longer transitions, gradual changes in intensity and layered melodic structures allow his selections to develop without relying on abrupt shifts in energy.
Together with PatriZe, he co-hosts the long-running After Hours radio series. The programme has been broadcast through TM Radio in the United States, Cosmos Radio in Germany and Scientific Sound Asia Radio, connecting their Progressive House selections with listeners across several continents.
The pair also present AH Digital Essentials through Proton Radio, using the programme to highlight music connected with their label and wider artist network. Hypnotised additionally hosts his own monthly Energetic show on Progressive Beats Radio in Germany.
His radio activity has extended further through guest appearances on stations including 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. These broadcasts have helped maintain his international profile alongside his club and production work.
Hypnotised has performed alongside artists including Marco Bailey, Tom Hades, Purple Disco Machine, Jesse Rose and Nick Bril. His appearances have included Amsterdam Dance Event, Deep on Deck Festival in South Africa, Club NL in Amsterdam, Decadance in Ghent and Zanzibar in South Africa.
In 2015, he co-founded AH Digital with PatriZe and moved further into production. The label became an important outlet for Progressive House and related underground electronic music while also creating a platform for artists connected with the wider After Hours network.
His early releases gained attention on Beatport, with People from the Otherworld reaching number four on the Progressive House releases chart. The title track was later remixed by Rui Da Silva, adding another established name to the project.
Further chart success followed with Infinity, which reached number two in both the Progressive House and Trance release charts and number three in Techno. These results strengthened his profile as a producer while demonstrating the range of influences feeding into his studio work.
In 2016, Hypnotised introduced the Man on the Moon alias as another outlet for electronic material. The project included Sense on Bonzai, while his wider production activity also brought recognition through a Metapop remix competition and exposure through Belgian station Studio Brussel.
His catalogue has since included work through Bonzai Progressive, Green Martian, SLC-6 Music, Pro-B-Tech Music, Stellar Fountain, Vesta Records, Insomniafm and Abstract Space Records. AH Digital remains central to his activity as a producer, curator and radio host.
Guest DJ J Lannutti (second hour)
This week’s guest for the second hour is J Lannutti, the stage name of Argentinian DJ and producer Juan Pablo Lannutti. Born in Buenos Aires in 1993, his musical background began with guitar and an early interest in bands including Pink Floyd, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
That foundation gave him an appreciation for melody, structure and atmosphere before electronic music became his main focus. A turning point came after attending his first rave in Buenos Aires, where the combination of sound, space and club culture encouraged him to explore electronic music more seriously.
Progressive House gradually became the centre of his musical direction. Artists including Nick Warren, Khen, Guy Mantzur and Hernán Cattaneo became important influences as he developed a preference for deeper, melodic and carefully paced electronic music.
J Lannutti began practising on CDJs at home before moving into private parties and small gatherings. Those early appearances gave him practical experience with track selection and helped him develop confidence behind the decks before moving into larger club environments.
His profile grew through performances at venues and events around Buenos Aires, including Club Bahrein, Un Jefe and Yuppies. He has also shared line-ups with artists such as Mariano Mellino, Marcelo Vasami and Jimmy Van M, connecting his work with established names from the international Progressive House scene.
Production became another important part of his development through work at Cold Bs Studio. He later refined his studio skills under the guidance of Juan Deminicis, helping him translate the melodic and atmospheric ideas from his DJ sets into original material.
His releases have appeared through labels including Hot Cue Music, Estribo Records, Balkan Connection South America and Mystic Carousel Records. These projects have allowed him to build a catalogue around the deeper side of Progressive House while gradually extending his sound into more melodic and atmospheric territory.
J Lannutti’s productions are characterised by layered melodies, organic textures and controlled rhythmic development. Rather than relying on abrupt changes, his tracks tend to build through detail and atmosphere, reflecting the wider musical influences behind his work.
His music has also appeared on compilations including Hoom Side of the Sun and AH Digital 7 Years. Those appearances helped connect his catalogue with a wider international audience and reinforced his position within the Progressive House community.
For his appearance on After Hours 446, J Lannutti takes over the second hour with a selection shaped by that background in Progressive House, melody and underground club music. His guest mix adds another Argentinian perspective to a programme built around deep progression, atmosphere and carefully controlled movement.
Hypnotised opens After Hours 446 with Luciano Scheffer's remix of Nico Cerban before Francisco Castro and Derk reshape D.J. MacIntyre's "The Great Simoon". Tomic and Nicholas Van Orton keep the first hour rooted in Progressive House, with deep textures and measured melodic development setting the tone.
Hot TuneiK's remix of Leo Perez and Dhany G brings a more atmospheric turn before Bautista Toniolo's treatment of Freya Ridings adds a vocal-led passage to the sequence. GMJ's "Oranai" and Juan Ibanez with Dylan Deck then close the first hour with a polished progressive flow and a stronger late-set lift.
J Lannutti opens the second hour with Erdi Irmak's remix of MKLY before M.O.S. and Nacho Varela with Cruz Vittor deepen the organic and melodic side of the programme. Juan Deminicis and Kamilo Sanclemente continue that direction, blending Organic House influences with the deeper end of progressive club music.
Guido Dirisio's remix of Monojoke leads into Nopi, followed by Juan Sapia's remix of Volkan Erman and Priya Sen before Interaxxis and Antrim close the programme with "Isolation". Across both hours, Hypnotised and J Lannutti blend Progressive House, Organic House and melodic underground material into a patient two-hour
