"After Hours" host PatriZe has announced his guest Salazar-Col for the show. Scientific Sound Asia Radio is an underground radio station, DJ agency, Music news site and promoter for the Asian region and internationally.


Each week, After Hours presents a variety of genres, including Progressive House, Techno, and various sub-genres of house music. The show aims to spotlight skilled DJs and producers from around the world, emphasising the underground sounds that are shaping electronic music scenes globally.


PatriZe, the show’s host and an accomplished producer from Belgium, began his journey in music at a young age with his first set of turntables. Initially attracted to the intense beats of Trance and Techno, his musical exploration led him to delve into the more intricate and melodic aspects of the Progressive House genre.


A significant turning point in PatriZe's career occurred in 2010 when he collaborated with Pole Folder, a renowned artist associated with Bedrock Records and Reworck. This collaboration was followed by his victory at the prestigious Night Museum DJ competition in France, which provided him the opportunity to perform as an opening act for the esteemed progressive artist Guy J (Lost & Found, Bedrock).


PatriZe is recognised for his seamless transitions, carefully curated track selections, and complex melodic layering, infused with subtle tech influences. Currently based in Thailand, he hosts the popular Foundations and After Hours Series, and frequently appears as a guest on various international radio shows dedicated to showcasing top progressive house artists, tracks, and DJs.


In recent years, PatriZe has taken on numerous successful projects. His album "AH Digital Essentials 004 (DJ Mix)," released in 2023, demonstrates his skill in blending house and techno elements fluidly. His collaborative work on tracks like "Galactic Trip (Hypnotized & PatriZe Dawn Remix)" has garnered widespread acclaim, pushing the boundaries of electronic music with its immersive soundscapes and vibrant energy.


PatriZe remains deeply committed to fostering the underground Progressive House scene. Through his radio shows in Europe and the USA, he continues to promote and support the genre. His label, AH Digital, which he co-founded with Hypnotised in April 2015, serves as a platform for producing, discovering, and promoting Progressive House music globally.


You can catch PatriZe performing live at venues like Beachspot (Jomtien Beach) and Thai Lounge & Terrace (Pattaya), where he has developed a loyal following within Pattaya’s dynamic underground music scene. His engaging performances consistently draw crowds, cementing his status as a leading figure in both the local and international music community.


The label's debut EP, "People from the Otherworld," was a notable success, reaching number 4 on the Beatport Progressive House chart and breaking into the top 20 of both the Techno and Tech House release charts. A standout moment in their career was the remix of the EP’s title track by acclaimed artist Rui Da Silva, which brought significant recognition to the label and its founders.


Currently residing in Thailand, PatriZe remains actively involved in performing and producing new music. He hosts shows on various radio stations and releases tracks on respected labels that frequently appear on the Beatport charts. His unwavering dedication and influence have firmly established him as a prominent figure in the Progressive House genre, continually advancing the evolution of electronic music.


Stay tuned to After Hours for more of PatriZe’s carefully curated selections and exciting new releases, as he continues to bring the best in underground electronic music to audiences worldwide.

Guest DJ Salazar- Col.

Taking the second hour is Salazar-Col, a DJ and producer from Medellín, Colombia working predominantly in progressive house and melodic techno. His production output spans a wide range of international labels including 3rd Avenue, Massive Harmony, Clubsonica Records, Onestar Records, Aletheia Recordings, Superordinate Music, Future Avenue and Sonnet Speciale, giving an indication of the breadth of his reach within the scene.


His track Tabby brought him to the attention of Nick Warren, and support from Warren and others with similar standing in progressive house has helped establish his name beyond South America. Despite that recognition he keeps a low profile, letting the music speak on his behalf rather than courting attention.


Recent output underlines where his sound currently sits. Henkan and Nirvana, both released on South America Avenue in late 2025, display the measured, atmospheric quality that runs through his original productions. That thread continues into 2026 with remix work for Jero Nougues on Syndicate Music, Joono on Future Avenue and Hernán Torres on Qatsina Music, the latter two keeping him firmly within progressive house territory.


His most recent material, Tides of Memory and Fading Echo, a collaborative EP with Lucas Gomez on South America Avenue due at the end of June, points to an artist with a steady and focused output rather than one chasing trends. His sets carry the same understated quality as his productions, building through atmosphere and arc rather than immediate impact. This week he closes out After Hours with his second hour session.


After Hours 461 opens with PatriZe in the first hour, the selection rooted firmly in the South American and Eastern European Progressive House networks that define much of the show's guest roster. Kevin Yair's Gregorovious on Balkan Connection SA opens quietly before Matias Ocaño's Today on Electronic Tree and Geronimo Eguiguren's Eye Of The Universe in the Gorkiz Remix on Transensations Records establish the unhurried, melodic tone that runs throughout PatriZe's hour.


Zahna's Antu, also on Balkan Connection SA, follows naturally before Ric Niels's Desire on Clubsonica Records and Horizon One's Frequencies in the Kenan Savrun Remix on Massive Harmony Records shift the mood towards something slightly more driven. Cedren, Manu-l and Juan Ibanez's Joy Trip on Clubsonica Records sustains the groove before German Tedesco's Sound Of The Moon in the Poli Siufi Remix on AH Digital introduces a warmer, more fluid texture.


Kyotto's Sweet Escape in the Carlos Pires Remix on Dopamine White and Jesuan M and Andrés Moris's Victory on Or Two Strangers bring PatriZe's hour to a close in characteristically understated fashion, the final selections leaning into atmosphere over energy without losing the thread of the set.


Salazar-Col opens the second hour with an immediate statement of intent, placing David Bowie and Queen's Under Pressure in an unofficial bootleg form as the lead track. It is a bold editorial choice that recontextualises a familiar piece of music as an introduction to a Progressive House set, and it works as a mood-setter before Salazar-Col's own Fractales grounds the hour in original material.


Madloch's Flow State in the Beije Remix on 3rd Avenue and Ricardo Piedra's Perdide in the Kenan Savrun Remix on Another Life Music provide two of the more refined moments in the second half, Beije's organic melodic sensibility sitting in contrast to the harder direction that follows. Hydeclip's Thru Him Is Aeon, Darin Epsilon's Karakoam and an unidentified Salazar-Col ID form the set's harder mid-section before Emi Galvan's Grabó offers a brief change of texture.


NOIYSE PROJECT's Time Flies in the Analog Jungs Remix on Droid9 and Dynacom (Arg)'s Night Witcher in the Nishan Lee Remix close the episode in keeping with the South American Progressive House tone established in the first hour. After Hours 461 is a show of two related but distinct sensibilities, PatriZe's more polished label-driven selection giving way to Salazar-Col's more personal and occasionally unexpected programming choices.
