After Hours host Patrize announces guest DJ Axel Zambrano for 479

After Hours 479 on Scientific Sound Asia features PatriZe alongside guest DJ Axel Zambrano. Scientific Sound Asia is an underground electronic music radio station, DJ agency and promoter serving the Asian region and beyond, publishing music news and connecting audiences regionally and internationally.

PatriZe is a Belgian DJ, producer and label head whose early exposure to trance and techno gradually gave way to the melodic and structural pull of progressive house. That shift has remained the foundation of both his DJ sets and his studio work.

A working relationship with Pole Folder in 2010, an artist tied to Bedrock Records and Reworck, marked an early move into the broader scene. The same year he won the Night Museum DJ competition in France, earning an opening slot for Guy J that extended his profile beyond Belgium.

His sets are built around layered melodic arrangements and measured transitions, with a quiet tech undercurrent threading through. Based in Thailand, he plays regularly at Beachspot and Thai Lounge & Terrace in Pattaya, keeping a steady local presence alongside his international radio work.

In April 2015, he co-founded AH Digital with Hypnotised, a progressive house label that has worked with a wide range of artists across the genre. The debut EP People from the Otherworld reached number four on the Beatport Progressive House chart and broke into the top twenty in both techno and tech house.

Recent collaborative work with Hypnotised includes a remix of Michael A's Ignition on AH Digital from early 2025 and multiple releases of their rework of Nikoow's Weird Things across late 2025 and into 2026. His 2023 DJ mix AH Digital Essentials 004 offers a broader picture of his range, threading through house and techno across an extended session.

Guest DJ Axel Zambrano.

Axel Zambrano is a DJ and producer from Córdoba, Argentina, born in 1995, who began his career at twenty with a sound built around progressive house and melodic techno. He has shared the booth with a range of Argentine artists including Ezequiel Arias, Matias Chilano, Berni Turletti and Fabri López, and has appeared alongside international names including Michael Bibi, Kurt Heisz and Andrea Perini.

His Beatport catalogue spans labels including Superordinate Music, LW Recordings, Polyptych, SLC-6 Music, Freegrant Music, Krafted Underground and AH Digital. These reflect a broad network of label relationships across progressive house and melodic techno.

Originals including Meraki and Philia appeared first on Protagonist Dark before receiving fresh releases on LW Recordings in 2026, while Mystic and Take Me Paradise on Superordinate Music have each seen multiple releases across the same period. Air Elite on Polyptych Limited moves into slower melodic territory, and Organ Doors on Polyptych Noir ventures into indie dance.

Remix work has been equally varied, covering artists on 19Box Recordings, The Audio Atelier, Sounds Of Meow and Rezongar Music among others. A collaborative original Uranus with D.J. MacIntyre and Juan Arce appeared on SLC-6 Music, and a further collaborative track Mandla with Juan Arce landed on Freegrant Music.

His most recent releases include Sonico on Polyptych Bundles and a two-track release on Superordinate Music. These add to a catalogue that has grown considerably in a short space of time.

After Hours 479 opens with PatriZe drawing from a range of Progressive House labels. Ric Niels and Aman Anand's Connected on Soundteller Records sets a warm tone before Matias Delongaro and Javier Stefano's Rotation in the Mariano Fuchilo Remix on AH Digital develops the melodic mood.

Canato and 2Stroke's Blooming in the L Georges Remix on Transensations Records and Ric Niels's Stan on Soundteller Records carry the hour forward, the latter's second appearance giving Soundteller a prominent presence in PatriZe's selection. Ignacio Corazza's Shine in the Monuloku Remix on AH Digital and Mike Rish's Tuumla on Juicebox Music sustain the progressive direction.

Galestian's All for You in the K Loveski Remix on ICONYC NOIR and Soulmade (AR)'s Separate Ways on Droid9 carry the hour into its later stages. Masayno's One Side in the Analog Jungs Remix on Songspire Records and Dimuth K and Shannon Davin's Horus in the Subandrio Remix on Yin bring PatriZe's hour to a close, the latter's Organic House warmth providing a gentle resolution.

Guest Axel Zambrano opens the second hour with Alessa Khin's Desert Moon in the Kvant Remix on La Mishka before Ewan Rill's Dark Path on Balkan Connection develops a deeper, more introspective direction. Esteban Ikasovic's Black Sun on Kitchen Recordings and Nicholas Van Orton's Never Be Complete on Balkan Connection sustain the progressive thread.

XIASOU and Nikko Mavridis's Hollow Land in the Plus Thirty and Daria Fomina Remix on Droid9 and Ruben Zurita, Flashingroof and Pedro Andrade G's Tanzmanian Devil in the Monograph and QTEQ Remix on Polyptych Limited carry the hour into its mid-section. Eleven Of July's Broken Romance in the Riggel Remix on Project 13 and Diego Alvarado's We Are on Droid9 follow before VegaZ SL's Pharaoh in the Axel Zambrano Remix on AH Digital gives the host a personal moment in the tracklist.

Darknezz's Desert Rose on La Mishka and Odra's Too Real on Freegrant Music close the episode, the latter rounding off a second hour that drew consistently from the progressive underground throughout. After Hours 479 is a cohesive two hours, PatriZe's South American label focus giving way to Axel Zambrano's broader and more varied guest selection.
