After Hours 477 on Scientific Sound Asia features PatriZe alongside guest DJ Nacres. 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 DJ, producer and label head from Belgium who grew up around electronic music, moving from early interests in trance and techno towards the melodic and structural qualities of progressive house. That shift has guided both his DJ work and his productions ever since.


His path crossed with Pole Folder in 2010, an artist connected to Bedrock Records and Reworck, marking an early step into the wider scene. The same year he won the Night Museum DJ competition in France, taking an opening slot for Guy J that helped broaden his profile internationally.


Behind the decks he works through layered melodic arrangements and measured transitions, with a quiet tech current running throughout. Now based in Thailand, he plays regularly at Beachspot and Thai Lounge & Terrace in Pattaya, balancing a consistent local presence with his international radio commitments.


He co-founded AH Digital with Hypnotised in April 2015, a label built around progressive house that has worked with a wide range of artists since its launch. 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.


Collaborative work with Hypnotised has featured regularly in his recent studio output, including their 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 provides a broader picture of his range, threading through house and techno across an extended session.

Guest DJ Nacres.


Nacres is a DJ and producer born in Istanbul, Turkey in the mid-seventies whose relationship with music began in early childhood, playing records from his family's collection. His earliest musical memory is Pink Floyd, a band whose influence has stayed with him throughout his life.


After studying electronics he worked for some of Istanbul's leading sound and lighting companies before his DJ career began in 1993, when fitting a sound system at Taxim Night Park led to a residency at the venue. That period extended into event management over the following four years, with guest appearances at other notable spots in the city and regular radio work on stations including Radio Cool.


In 1997 he moved to Cyprus, an event that effectively ended his involvement in music for over two decades. It was the death of his father in 2018 that prompted his return to production, leading to his debut EP Nibiru on 3XA Music, released in October 2019. He has since returned to Istanbul and rebuilt his output steadily.


Recent work spans originals and remixes across a range of progressive house labels. His track Arcadia on RKP in early 2025 drew reworks from Evegrem and Jelly For The Babies, and a collaborative original Polaris with Taylan appeared on Nightcolours later that year.


Remix credits have come from AH Digital, Deepersense Music, Bonzai Progressive, Future Avenue and Beat Boutique among others, with a rework of Aurelien Stireg and Anthony Spallino's Spark for Bonzai Progressive among his most recent releases.


After Hours 475 opens with PatriZe selecting from a familiar set of South American Progressive House labels. Canato and 2Stroke's Blooming in the Alex Efe and Diego Berrondo Remix on Transensations Records sets a warm tone before Fede Archdale's Beacon in the J Lannutti Remix on AH Digital develops the mood.


J Lannutti's Out of Space on Nature Rec and Paul Hamilton and Anartist's Dialo in the Julian Nates Remix on Movement Recordings carry the hour forward. Matias Ocaño's Broken Mirrors on Droid9 and Facundo Navarro's Lucania in the Juan Ibanez Remix on AH Digital sustain the progressive direction through the mid-section.


J.P. Velardi and Adri Pacheco's Inertial in the Juani Otatti Remix on AH Digital and Jiminy Hop's Desire on Juicebox Music carry the hour into its later stages. Jiminy Hop closes PatriZe's selection with Contemplation, also on Juicebox Music, the back-to-back placement of both tracks giving the hour a considered and unhurried conclusion.


Guest Evegrem opens the second hour with Nhii and Juandros's So no Koto, its Organic House warmth setting a different tone to the first hour. Valdovinos's Good Times and Nōpi's Enegida follow, the latter reinforcing the organic strand before Alan Spinoso's Way to the Abyss in the Andrés Moris Remix returns to progressive territory.


Alan Cerra's Sirocco and NuFects's Aventuras sustain the melodic direction before George Alhabel's Omega Station in the Michael A Remix and Andrés Moris and Alto Astral's Time Shifter carry the hour into its second half. Gaston Sosa's To Be Honest in the Mauro Aguirre Remix and Tom Zeta's Hi Hat continue the progressive thread.


Kamilo Sanclemente's Back to Life featuring Luli Diaz closes the episode on a warm organic note, the Colombian producer's vocal collaboration providing a gentle resolution to Evegrem's hour. After Hours 475 is a cohesive two hours, PatriZe's label-focused South American selections giving way to Evegrem's broader and organically inflected guest hour.
