After Hours 728 is hosted by Hypnotised and guest DJ Samuel (LK).

Episode 728 of After Hours presents a deep and hypnotic progressive house journey led by Hypnotised on Scientific Sound Asia. The platform operates as an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency and promoter, while also publishing music news and connecting audiences across the region and internationally.

Based in Ghent, Belgium, Hypnotised has developed a strong reputation for melodic and narrative-driven sets. His approach combines emotional depth with technical precision, focusing on long-form progression and carefully controlled energy that evolves gradually throughout each session.

Appearances at events such as I Love Techno and 10 Days of Techno have reinforced his position within the underground electronic music scene. These performances reflect a style built around tension, extended transitions and structured flow rather than short-form impact or rapid shifts in direction.

Alongside long-time collaborator PatriZe, Hypnotised has helped establish After Hours as a recognised platform for new progressive and melodic house music. The show continues reaching an international audience through syndication on TM Radio in the United States, XBeat across Europe, Cosmos Radio in Germany and Scientific Sound Asia in Vietnam.

Beyond After Hours, he co-curates AH Digital Essentials on Proton Radio alongside PatriZe while also hosting Energetic on Progressive Beats Radio. These projects continue extending his presence across multiple international online radio stations while maintaining a clear focus on progressive house and melodic underground sounds.

As co-founder and label manager of AH Digital, Hypnotised remains actively involved in supporting emerging artists and shaping the direction of the label. The catalogue maintains a distinct identity centred on progressive house and melodic club music, with an emphasis on continuity, atmosphere and long-term artistic development.

Recent studio work by Hypnotised continues to reflect this direction. His remix of Weird Things alongside PatriZe on AH Digital reinforces his signature progressive style through layered melodies, subtle tension and controlled rhythmic movement. Releases such as his remix of Blissing on SINCITY and Classico with Selected Grooves on OLD SQL Recordings further highlight a consistent focus on atmosphere, pacing and detailed arrangement.

Collaborative projects, including his remix with Frank Savio of The Master of Time and Thoughts for COMET Records, expand this musical palette while maintaining the same core principles of progression and balance. Across these productions, Hypnotised continues refining a sound rooted in melodic development, immersive structure and understated dancefloor energy.

Through After Hours, AH Digital and his ongoing release schedule, Hypnotised maintains a clear artistic direction centred on melodic progression and long-form storytelling. Episode 728 continues this approach, delivering a refined progressive house journey shaped by experience, precision and a deep understanding of atmosphere and flow.

Guest DJ Samuel (LK).

Samuel (LK) is an electronic music producer and DJ from Sri Lanka, recognised for his work across Progressive House and Melodic House & Techno. Known for combining melodic depth with groove-led arrangements and atmospheric progression, he has steadily built an international following through his productions and DJ performances.

His sound balances emotional detail with club-focused structure, reflecting a strong connection to contemporary underground electronic music. Recent releases by Samuel (LK) continue highlighting his growing presence within the progressive scene.

Tracks such as Odeysse on AH Digital and Pulse on Droid9 showcase his refined melodic approach through layered synth work, rolling basslines and carefully controlled progression. Both releases also attracted remixes from artists including Sabrina Rivas, Agustin Chadez, Casnik, Al Park and Nikola Jovanovic, further expanding the reach of the projects within the underground progressive community.

His collaborative work with RIDGE (LK) on Momentum Shift continues this direction through deeper progressive arrangements and hypnotic rhythmic flow, while productions such as Chemicals, Echoes and Initiate reinforce his focus on atmospheric club music built around subtle tension and melodic movement.

Tracks like Transmitter with DILE (LK) and Control alongside OMX further demonstrate his consistency across both solo and collaborative projects. Later this year, Samuel (LK) returns to AH Digital on remix duties, continuing his relationship with the label as this week’s featured guest artist.

DJ Hypnotised opens the first hour with Shamika’s Zen Garden and Lucho Bragagnolo alongside Byhon’s 4 Elements, immediately establishing a deep Progressive House atmosphere. Leonardo Britto’s Triton and Laure Cesario with Hypenotica’s Annunaki continue the flowing underground direction with layered melodic textures and smooth rhythmic progression.

Full.K’s Pressurized in the Matias Gauna remix and Esh (SL) alongside Junior (SL)’s Night Sky maintain the hypnotic atmosphere with rolling basslines and cinematic melodic structures. Cary Crank’s Echoes From Below in the ISMAIL.M remix deepens the late-night feel before Cipriani’s Lucid Drift introduces another smooth Progressive groove.

The latter half of the first hour moves through Fernan De Santis’ Avila and Aphra’s Paradox in the Madison Palmer remix, both maintaining the emotional and melodic Progressive House identity running throughout Hypnotised’s set. The pacing remains controlled and immersive, focusing on deep progression rather than peak-time intensity.

DJ Samuel (LK) takes over the second hour with M.O.S.’ Beyond Your Mind in the Durante Extended remix and Haft’s Eventura, immediately continuing the flowing underground atmosphere. Two unreleased Samuel (LK) productions introduce exclusive new music material into the mix, while Kryptone (SL) and Joaquín Salmain’s Levity in the Gerssein remix reinforces the melodic Progressive direction.

The final section develops through Serge Canteros’ Revolution, Claudio Cornejo’s Neuraxis and Berdu’s Altered Reality, where hypnotic melodic layers and deep rhythmic progression dominate the session. Another unreleased 4T6 remix adds further underground exclusivity before Maze 28’s C Moon and New Jackson’s The Night Mail in the Simon Vuarambon remix close the episode with a deep and atmospheric Progressive House finish.
