After Hours returns on Scientific Sound Asia with PatriZe hosting the first hour and Alpha21 joining as the featured guest. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music news platform, connecting underground artists and listeners across the region and internationally.
PatriZe is a Belgian DJ, producer and radio host whose musical background began with Trance and Techno before developing towards deeper and more melodic Progressive House. His sets are built around long blends, controlled progression and carefully layered transitions rather than constant peak-time pressure.
After becoming active within Belgium’s electronic music scene, an important stage in his career arrived in 2010 through his connection with Pole Folder of Bedrock Records and Reworck. He also won the Night Museum DJ competition in France and subsequently opened for Guy J, strengthening his profile within the European underground.
PatriZe later relocated to Thailand, where radio, production and live performance became central to his work. His After Hours and Foundations programmes give him space to present extended selections while introducing guest DJs and producers from different parts of the international scene.
His approach as a selector places particular emphasis on pacing and continuity. Melodic material, deeper grooves and subtle technical elements are blended gradually so that individual tracks have room to develop within the wider structure of the set.
In 2015, PatriZe co-founded AH Digital with long-time collaborator Hypnotised. The label developed into an important outlet for both established producers and emerging artists working within deeper underground electronic music.
Early AH Digital releases gained strong Beatport support, including People from the Otherworld, which reached number four in the Progressive House release chart. The title track was later remixed by Rui Da Silva, adding another established name to the label’s early catalogue.
Alongside label management, PatriZe has continued to produce and release music while maintaining a regular presence on international radio. His work behind the decks and in the studio remains closely connected, with each side influencing the pacing, atmosphere and structure of the other.
He has also remained active in Thailand’s club scene through appearances in Pattaya and Jomtien, including venues such as Beachspot and Thai Lounge & Terrace. These performances give him another outlet for the deeper, groove-led approach heard throughout his radio work.
After Hours continues to reflect that combination of radio, production and club experience. This edition features Alpha 21 in the guest position, bringing another international perspective into a series built around long-form underground electronic music and carefully structured DJ sets.
Guest DJ ALPHA21.
Thanushka Chathuranga, better known as ALPHA21, is a Sri Lankan DJ and producer who began his career in electronic music in 2015. Over the years, he has developed a Progressive-focused approach shaped by deeper melodic influences and a strong interest in constructing sets with a clear sense of progression.
His DJ sets and productions draw primarily from Progressive House, Deep House and Melodic Techno, with Guy J, Volen Sentir, Jeremy Olander and Marcelo Vasami among the artists who have influenced his creative direction. Rather than treating individual tracks in isolation, ALPHA21 approaches DJing as a form of storytelling, using careful selection and sequencing to give his sets a distinct musical identity.
His catalogue includes releases and remixes across labels including BC2 Records, Mystic Carousel Records, Cause Org Records and IN2U Records, while his Beatport catalogue has continued to expand considerably. Recent work includes Where Silence Took Me on Pro B Tech Music and Mental Ashes on One Of A Kind, both released in August 2026 with accompanying remixes from several producers.
September 2026 brought Replays, his collaboration with ELECGROUND on SINCITY, following a run of studio activity throughout the year. Other 2026 work has included collaborations with JUNIOR (SL), remixes for artists including Akkam, Khalyl, Soul Alt Delete and Hobin Rude, and Bathsheba with VegaZ SL on OLD SQL Recordings.
These releases reflect a productive period for ALPHA21 while maintaining the Progressive foundations that have defined much of his work. Alongside his production catalogue, his Mixcloud and DJ performances provide another outlet for the deeper and melodic side of his musical direction as he continues his involvement in Sri Lanka's electronic music scene.
PatriZe opens the first hour of After Hours 429 with J Lannutti's Dancefloor Pearls on Balkan Connection, immediately establishing the Progressive House direction that defines almost the entire programme. Nicolas Giordano follows with Low & Desert before Facundo Sosa's remix of Cris Rosales and Alex Efe's treatment of Innerphonic maintain the deep, measured character of the opening sequence.
Paul Deep's Sekai keeps the momentum controlled before Christopher FaFa's remix of Ricardo Piedra and RYAN's Hamza introduce a firmer rhythmic push. Dabeat's remix of Kabi's Magenta then leads into two Berni Turletti selections, with Matias Chilano's remix of Physical Balance followed by In Motion to complete an entirely Progressive House first hour.
ALPHA21 begins the second hour with Marsh's Human on Anjunadeep, introducing the programme's only Melodic House and Techno selection before returning quickly to the dominant progressive framework. Jiminy Hop and Ilya Gerus follow with A New Day, while Julian Nates contributes both Deep Pocket and Marathon across Dopamine White and Mango Alley.
Leo Perez and Dhany G continue the second-hour progression with Citrino before Sebastian Sellares delivers two consecutive Or Two Strangers releases through Room 09 and Far From Home. The pairing keeps ALPHA21's section focused on long-form melodic development and steady club momentum rather than major stylistic changes.
Fabreeka's Oxygen brings Mango Alley back into the selection before Anton Make closes the programme with Ilfat on the same label. The final sequence reinforces the consistency of ALPHA21's hour, with Progressive House remaining at the centre after Marsh's melodic opening.
Across After Hours 429, Progressive House accounts for eighteen of the nineteen selections, giving PatriZe and ALPHA21 an exceptionally focused two-hour programme. Marsh provides the only clear stylistic variation, while Balkan Connection, Or Two Strangers and Mango Alley recur throughout a tracklist built around deep melodies, gradual transitions and sustained progressive movement.
