After Hours 717 features PatriZe and guest DJ Federico Cepeda.

Episode 717 of After Hours presents a deep and emotive progressive house journey, curated and hosted by Belgian DJ and producer PatriZe. Broadcast on Scientific Sound Asia, an underground radio station, DJ agency and promoter based in Asia with an international audience, the series continues to connect electronic music communities across the region with the wider global scene.

Now based in Thailand, PatriZe has established himself as a respected figure within the progressive house movement. His sound draws from early trance and techno influences, developed into long-form sets built on smooth melodic flow, controlled tension and strong musical direction. Rather than focusing on immediate impact, his approach allows tracks to develop gradually, with attention given to atmosphere, pacing and continuity.

Performances alongside artists such as Guy J and Pole Folder helped shape his technical and expressive style. A key moment in his career came in 2010 when he won the Night Museum DJ Competition, leading to wider international recognition. In 2015, he co-founded AH Digital with Hypnotised, creating a label dedicated to underground progressive house and melodic electronic music.

The label’s first release, Inhabitants of Another Realm, reached the Beatport Top 20 and established AH Digital as a reliable outlet for forward-thinking progressive house. More recent work, including his 2025 remix of The Loon on AH Digital, shows the continued development of his sound, combining melodic depth with precise arrangement and a darker progressive tone.

As the driving force behind After Hours, PatriZe continues to focus on long-form storytelling and careful selection. Alongside residencies at Beachspot and Thai Lounge and Terrace in Pattaya, and regular appearances on Frisky Radio and Proton Radio, he maintains the series as a platform for progressive house that values musical progression, atmosphere and emotional depth.

Guest DJ Federico Cepeda.

Federico Cepeda is an Argentinian DJ and producer born in Santa Teresita, Partido de la Costa, specialising in progressive house with darker influences. His sound is built around harmonic structure, careful energy control and musical storytelling, allowing his sets to develop gradually with a strong sense of direction and atmosphere.

Influenced by the modern progressive house scene, Federico focuses on creating journeys that balance emotion with rhythm. His selections often move through deep and reflective passages before building into more intense sections, maintaining flow and coherence rather than relying on constant drops. This approach gives his performances a cinematic quality, where tension and release are shaped over time.

Alongside his DJ work, Federico has been developing his production catalogue with releases on progressive house labels such as Future Avenue and AH Digital. His tracks combine melodic depth with darker grooves, reflecting the same style heard in his DJ sets. With each release, he continues to refine a sound rooted in progressive house while exploring more atmospheric and hypnotic elements.

His work reflects the current generation of South American progressive artists, where musical storytelling and emotional depth remain central, and where the focus is on building long-form sets that move naturally from subtle moods to moments of higher intensity without losing musical continuity.

The first hour with PatriZe opens in a deep Progressive House mood as Fractals and Secret Steps establish a smooth and atmospheric start. Rust Signal and Sticky Situations in the Cezar Nica and Tapski remix keep the flow steady, combining melodic structure with rolling low-end movement.

The middle of the first set continues with Neon Nebula, Galaga and Pure Junction in the Berdu remix, all maintaining a balanced progressive rhythm. The State of Becoming and Midnight Haze bring a slightly darker tone, before Zero Dawn in the Kebin Van Reeken remix closes the hour with a controlled and polished progressive finish.

Federico Cepeda’s second hour keeps the direction consistent as To Learn and Radioactive continue the deep Progressive House line. Illusionist and Eons add melodic detail, while the Hypnotised and PatriZe remix of Galactic Trip introduces a slightly more cinematic atmosphere without breaking the steady pace.

The final stretch moves through Alnitak, Samadhi, Sukha and Dimension Of Space, maintaining a smooth late-night feel. Detach, Scylla, and New Day close the session with calm but driving Progressive House, giving episode 717 a fully cohesive sound built entirely around melodic underground progression.
