Cali’s HouseNation Radio returns with guest DJs C1 and Rhythm Ray.

Cali’s HouseNation Radio returns on Scientific Sound Asia with guest DJ C1 taking control of the broadcast, delivering a House-focused session rooted in groove, flow and club functionality. The episode sits firmly within the show’s contemporary direction, highlighting DJ-led selection over spectacle with guest DJ Rhythm Ray in the second hour.

DJ C1 is a California-based selector with strong ties to West Coast House culture. His approach is shaped by a practical understanding of the dancefloor, favouring rolling rhythms, clean transitions and steady progression.

Alongside his appearance on Cali’s HouseNation Radio, he is also active on Souljack Digital, a House-driven online radio platform known for featuring DJs from across the United States and beyond. His sets reflect a controlled and purposeful style, balancing modern House sounds with a restrained, groove-first mentality.

Rather than pushing extremes, DJ C1 focuses on cohesion and pacing, allowing tracks to develop naturally while maintaining consistent momentum throughout his mixes. DJ C1’s contribution fits seamlessly into the Cali’s HouseNation Radio series, offering a focused snapshot of contemporary House music through a California lens.

Guest DJ Rhythm Ray.

DJ Rhythm Ray is a DJ and producer whose work centres on rhythm-driven House music and tightly constructed mash-ups designed for club and broadcast settings. Her approach is grounded in timing, flow, and energy control, with an emphasis on maintaining consistent momentum while allowing recognisable elements to be recontextualised through her mixes.

Her sets are built around modern House structures, blending rolling grooves with vocal-led moments and carefully placed transitions. Rather than relying on excess, Rhythm Ray focuses on precision and movement, using mash-ups as functional tools to maintain pace and engagement across a set.

This balance between familiarity and forward motion defines her sound and keeps the focus firmly on the dancefloor. As a radio and guest DJ, she brings a confident and direct style that translates effectively to long-form mixes. Her selections reflect a clear understanding of contemporary House music while maintaining a DJ-first mentality, where cohesion and progression take priority over individual tracks.

Featured on Scientific Sound Asia, the Asian electronic music radio platform, promoter and DJ agency, DJ Rhythm Ray’s appearances align with the station’s underground ethos and its focus on club-oriented electronic music. Her work adds a modern, rhythmic edge to the schedule, rooted in groove and driven by practical DJ craft.

The first hour, mixed by C1, opens with a strong disco-driven identity, where Nu Disco and Funky House selections establish a feel-good, groove-led atmosphere. Tracks like Don’t Stop The Music and Disco Bounce sit comfortably alongside funk-infused cuts, setting a warm and upbeat tone rooted in classic house energy.

As the hour progresses, the focus widens into House and Disco House territory. Vocal-led selections and groove-focused club tracks maintain momentum, while Jackin House moments add bounce and attitude. This section keeps the energy accessible and dancefloor-friendly, balancing nostalgia with modern production.

The second hour, curated by DJ Rhythm Ray, shifts direction through a sequence of mash-ups built for peak-time impact. Commercial pop, Tech House and club-ready edits dominate, blending familiar vocals with heavy basslines and modern house structures. The use of mash-ups brings playful contrast while maintaining strong rhythmic continuity.

The closing stretch leans into festival-scale energy, where Eurodance, Afro House, Melodic Techno and Progressive House influences collide. Nostalgic hooks meet contemporary drops, finishing episode 302 with high-energy crossover appeal. The episode closes as a clear two-part journey, moving from disco-rooted house grooves into bold, modern mash-up culture.
