Episode 716 of After Hours presents a deep, hypnotic and carefully sculpted Progressive House journey led by resident DJ Hypnotised. Broadcast on Scientific Sound Asia, the Vietnam-based electronic music station, promoter and DJ agency, the series continues to connect underground artists and audiences across Asia and the wider international scene through radio programming, digital platforms and live events.

Based in Ghent, Belgium, Hypnotised has built a strong reputation for melodic, narrative-driven sets that balance emotional depth with technical precision. Performances at respected festivals such as I Love Techno and 10 Days of Techno have reinforced his standing within the global underground, where his sound is recognised for gradual tension, extended progression and refined musical flow.

Alongside long-time collaborator PatriZe, Hypnotised has shaped After Hours into a widely respected platform dedicated to Progressive and Melodic House. The show is syndicated internationally, airing on TM Radio in the United States, XBeat across Europe, Cosmos Radio in Germany and Scientific Sound Asia in Vietnam, cultivating a loyal and globally connected audience.

Beyond After Hours, Hypnotised and PatriZe also curate AH Digital Essentials on Proton Radio, while Hypnotised leads Energetic on Progressive Beats Radio. As co-founder and label manager of AH Digital, he remains committed to supporting emerging artists while maintaining a carefully curated catalogue rooted in melodic and progressive club music.

Recent studio highlights include his collaboration with Frank Savio on a remix of Tabrissel’s The Master of Time and Thoughts, released on COMET Records. The production blends layered melodic textures with driving Progressive House structure, reflecting his continued evolution as both a producer and selector.

With further material forthcoming on AH Digital and other respected imprints, Hypnotised remains a defining voice in contemporary Progressive House, guided by experience, musical clarity and a sustained commitment to underground culture.

Guest DJ Gabbe.

Facundo Gabriel Arce, known professionally as Gabbe, is a DJ and producer from Córdoba, Argentina. Over the course of his career, he has performed at venues including La Estacion, Fruta and Inclub, as well as a range of underground spaces across the city, steadily building his presence within the local electronic scene.

In recent years, he has focused increasingly on music production, shaping a distinctive and immersive sound that has gained support from DJs both nationally and internationally. His musical direction moves across Progressive House, Melodic Techno and Indie Dance, combining deep harmonic structures with driving, energetic grooves designed for late-night dancefloors.

Throughout his journey, he has shared the booth with established artists such as Deep Dish, Magdalena, Pavel Petrov, Mike Griego, Nacho Padilla, Temple Gate, Innerside, Lucho Salari and Valen Vazquez. These experiences have helped refine his technical approach and strengthen his identity within the progressive scene.

2025 has marked a particularly productive period in the studio. His releases on SINCITY have included Koga, Strife and Blissing, the latter receiving remixes from Hypnotised and Niko Garcia. On Balkan Connection, he delivered the Dream EP featuring The Key, Rumble and the title track Dream, further cementing his position within the Progressive House circuit.

His Codes EP on ckronic. expanded this direction with remixes from Kalabala and Eskulls, while Reinccipium on Black Roulette moved into Melodic House & Techno territory. These releases demonstrate a clear progression in his production, balancing melodic detail with club-ready structure.

Looking ahead, Gabbe is set to release new material on AH Digital later this year, marking an important step within the global Progressive House network and aligning him with one of the genre’s respected underground imprints. Continuing to develop both his studio output and live performances, Gabbe remains focused on consolidating his position within the wider international electronic music community, building momentum through consistent releases and carefully crafted sets.

Hypnotised opens the episode with a steady progressive flow as The Bounce and Bad Trip establish rolling momentum. The Middle and Descender deepen the harmonic atmosphere, while Appetite and Lights Out maintain a controlled build without abrupt shifts. The first half of the hour focuses on consistency and layered progression rather than dramatic peaks.

The groove continues through Milky Way and Aphrodite, where subtle melodic phrasing supports the rhythm. The Garden of Love and The Landing close the first hour with balanced tension, keeping the pacing measured and coherent across the full sequence.

Gabbe’s second hour introduces exclusive promo material immediately, opening with new work from Gabbe and Mateo Tapia before moving into Bending Light and Oscillations. Centella and Heartless maintain the progressive framework, favouring steady build and textural detail over breakdown-driven structure.

The final stretch continues with Nyvara before returning to additional promo cuts from Gabbe, Mateo Tapia, Franco Giannoni, and Marco (AR). The episode remains fully centred on Progressive House from start to finish, presenting a consistent, late-night oriented session built around forward motion and melodic depth.

Please set a reminder for the live house music radio show on Monday, February 23rd, 2026, from 10:00 PM to midnight Indochina Time (ICT). If you happen to miss it, you can catch the replay on Friday from 10:00 AM to noon (ICT).
