After Hours 486 host Hypnotised announces guest DJ Suzy Solar

After Hours 486 on Scientific Sound Asia sees Hypnotised at the helm, welcoming guest DJ Suzy Solar 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 came up through the city's electronic music scene, playing early editions of events including I Love Techno and 10 Days of Techno. His sound has since moved firmly into progressive house and tech house, taking 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 slots spanning 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 among others. Live appearances include the Amsterdam Dance Event, Deep on Deck Festival in South Africa, Club NL, Decadance in Ghent, W Lounge, Niche Club and Zanzibar in South Africa, with shared bills alongside Marco Bailey, Tom Hades, Purple Disco Machine, Jesse Rose and Nick Bril.

He founded AH Digital in 2015 alongside his move into production. 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 both progressive house and trance and number three in techno.

In 2016 he launched the Man on the Moon alias, debuting with Sense on Bonzai, a track that won a Metapop remix contest and received airplay on Studio Brussel. Beyond AH Digital, label credits include Bonzai Progressive, Green Martian, SLC-6 Music, Pro-B-Tech Music, Stellar Fountain, Vesta Records, Abstract Space Records, Eternal Beats, Aeriform Records, Morninglory Music, Mystic Carousel Records and 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. Hypnotised continues to leave his hallmark across his progressive and other imprints.

Guest DJ Suzy Solar (second hour).

Suzy Solar is a DJ, vocalist, songwriter, producer and event coordinator based in Florida who has been active in electronic music since 1997. She is recognised as a pioneer of trance in Florida and works across trance, psytrance and progressive house.

Her debut track Ocean of Love was the opening track on disc two of Paul Oakenfold's Grammy-nominated Creamfields album. Subsequent releases have appeared on Magic Island Records, Universal Nation, Always Alive Recordings and We Are Trance among others.

Notable collaborations include Sanctuary with Roger Shah on Magic Island Records and Milestone with Corrie Theron, the 100th release on the South African label We Are Trance, where both artists serve as A&R. She also provided the vocal recreation of an Anne Hathaway scene from the film Interstellar for Will Atkinson's Telescope on VII.

Her radio show Solar Power Sessions has been running since 2001 and is among the longest-running trance shows in the world. She also hosts Suzy Solar presents We Are Trance on AH.FM and Solar Power Progressive, which focuses on progressive house and melodic techno.

Her company Solar Power Music runs events in central Florida, including a residency with Lost in Trancelation at Bikkuri Lounge in Orlando. Festival appearances include EDC Orlando, Sunset Music Fest and the first Ultra Music Festival in 1999.

After Hours 486 opens with Hypnotised selecting from a range of Progressive House artists. NeoTraffic's In the Dark and Alberto Blanco's Distance in the Juan Ibanez Remix set a warm and measured tone from the outset.

Oliver and Tom's Mime and Pablo Arbelaez's Astral in the Orgymu5ik Remix carry the hour forward before Redspace and Lluis Ribalta's Vibrations of the Universe develops the atmospheric mood. An unreleased promo in the Nikko.Z Remix follows before D.J. MacIntyre and Casper Keys's Event Horizon in the Indigo Man Remix sustains the progressive direction.

Julian Rodriguez and JFR's To the Glory in the Travis Jesse Remix and Evegrem and Axel Zambrano's Mistakes in the Andre Moret Remix, the latter making another appearance across the series in a fresh rework, bring Hypnotised's nine-track hour to a close. The selection is consistent and unhurried throughout, characteristic of Hypnotised's approach across the series.

Guest Suzy Solar opens the second hour at a different register, drawing from both Progressive House and Trance across her selection. IY's Sunma Umidim in the Nerak Remix on Timeless Moment and Donny Carr's Ascension on Inspired By Trees open before Dhany G and Ryan (CUB)'s Antar in the Sebastian Haas Remix on Freegrant Music grounds the hour in familiar progressive territory.

Marwan Jaafreh's The Sound That Drives Us in the ZAHNA Remix on Bonzai Progressive and Envotion's We Are the Universe in the Teleport-X Extended Remix on SkyTop carry the hour forward, the latter confirmed as Progressive House despite the label's broader remit. Joman and Tonal Space's Scorpio in the Narik Remix, also on Bonzai Progressive, and Kazuki's The Seventh Aether on JOOF Aura push further into Progressive Trance territory, John 00 Fleming's sublabel known for its deep and hypnotic approach to the genre.

Dark Matter's Aurora on Awen Records and Grigore's Illusion on This Never Happened bring the hour back towards Progressive House before Tinlicker and Dosem's Hypnotised on Anjunadeep arrives as one of the more recognisable selections of the episode. Numedian's The Realm Of Earth And Heavens on We Are Trance closes the episode on a Progressive Trance note, Suzy Solar rounding off a guest hour that moved freely between the two genres throughout.

After Hours 486 is a show of contrasting sensibilities, Hypnotised's focused underground progressive selection giving way to Suzy Solar's broader and genre-spanning second hour.
