After Hours 484 host Hypnotised announces guest DJ J Lauda

After Hours 484 on Scientific Sound Asia sees Hypnotised at the helm, welcoming guest DJ J Lauda to the show. Scientific Sound Asia is an underground electronic music radio station, DJ agency and promoter for the Asian region, publishing music news and connecting audiences regionally and internationally.

Hypnotised is a DJ and producer from Ghent, Belgium who developed his sound in progressive house and tech house through early appearances at events including I Love Techno and 10 Days of Techno. That grounding has since carried him to stages across Europe, Africa and beyond.

After Hours, co-hosted with PatriZe, airs on TM Radio in the USA, Cosmos Radio in Germany and Scientific Sound Asia in Vietnam. The pair also present AH Digital Essentials on Proton Radio, dedicated to progressive house.

His monthly show Energetic runs on Progressive Beats Radio in Germany, with guest appearances spanning Ibiza Global Radio, Frisky Radio, DI FM, Insomnia FM, Fnoob Techno Radio and Urgent FM among others. Live credits include the Amsterdam Dance Event, Deep on Deck Festival in South Africa, Club NL in Amsterdam, Decadance in Ghent and Zanzibar in South Africa, sharing stages with Marco Bailey, Tom Hades, Purple Disco Machine, Jesse Rose and Nick Bril.

He founded AH Digital in 2015 as a home for progressive house, with his own productions sitting alongside a wider artist roster. The debut EP People from the Otherworld reached fourth place on the Beatport charts with a Rui Da Silva remix, while Infinity peaked at number two in progressive house and trance and number three in techno. The Man on the Moon alias arrived in 2016 with Sense on Bonzai, winning a Metapop remix contest and picking up airplay on Studio Brussel.

Label relationships have grown to include Bonzai Progressive, Green Martian, SLC-6 Music, Pro-B-Tech Music and Stellar Fountain among others. Recent output includes Classico with Selected Grooves on OLD SQL Recordings, a remix of Gabbe's Blissing for SINCITY from late 2025, and the continued rollout of the collaborative Weird Things rework with PatriZe on AH Digital into 2026.

Guest DJ J Lauda (second hour).

J Lauda is a DJ and producer from Buffalo, New York, whose early exposure to music was shaped by two scenes running in parallel: the fertile electronic underground of his home city and the world-class dance culture developing just across the border in Toronto. Both left a mark that still runs through his productions and DJ sets today.

His Beatport catalogue spans labels including Univack, SLC-6 Music, MK837, Massive Harmony Records, Aletheia Recordings, Mirabilis Records and AH Digital among others. Univack has been a particularly consistent home, with originals including Lifeline, Meridian and Waves appearing as extended mixes before drawing remix attention from Hernan Cattaneo and Simply City, Kebin Van Reeken and NOIYSE PROJECT respectively.

A three-track EP of further originals, Libertas, The Frequency and Astir, followed on the same label in late 2025. His collaborative original Strange Wonders with D.J. MacIntyre on SLC-6 Music attracted four versions including remixes from Licha Ignacio, Nomas and Gabo Martin, pointing to a track that resonated within the progressive house community.

Remix work has been equally broad, with credits for Ivan Pogrebniak on AH Digital, Alec Araujo on Lake Underground Music, Pierre Sebastiano on Massive Harmony and Chris Cargo on JourneyDeep Records among the more recent. His own productions have drawn remix interest from Hernan Cattaneo and Noel Sanger, and his radio support list includes Chicane, Yotto, Sebastian Busto and Tim Penner. Live, he has warmed up for Paul Oakenfold, Above and Beyond and Seb Fontaine among others.

After Hours 484 opens with Hypnotised selecting from a range of Progressive House artists. Tobin Bradstreet's 10 Days sets a measured, atmospheric tone before Alpha21, and Jack Lazarus's The Long Walk develops the mood.

Amol Reon and Airbas's Fugitive and Manu F's Yellow carry the hour forward with a consistent melodic quality. Monuloku's Noises From Outside Room and Yashar's Midnight Decisions in the Dub Mix sustain the progressive direction through the mid-section.

Ricardo Piedra's Sacred Home and Shanil Alox's Atmosphere carry the hour into its later stages before Deep Inside (UA)'s Fading Freedom brings Hypnotised's nine-track selection to a close. The hour is characteristic of Hypnotised's programming, unhurried and consistently atmospheric throughout.

Guest DJ J Lauda opens the second hour with DEVANS's Prayer for You in the Ric Niels Remix before introducing the first of three unreleased promos from his own catalogue. Matias Delongaro and Javier Stefano's Rotation in the J Lauda Remix and the original Nebula follow, the latter giving the guest a personal anchor early in the hour.

Chris Isaak's Wicked Games in the J Lauda Remix and Augenblick and Sigl's Nordurljos also in a J Lauda Remix demonstrate the guest's range as a remixer, the Isaak classic reframed here within a progressive context. Vandelor's La Travesia on Lake Underground Music and a second unreleased promo sustain the progressive direction.

Ryan Sullivan's Like Water on Pangea and a third J Lauda promo close the episode, the guest bookending his hour with a mix of established material and forthcoming productions. After Hours 484 is a focused two hours, Hypnotised's carefully constructed opening giving way to DJ J Lauda's more personally curated and production-forward guest selection.
