Portrait of Indian DJ Sai Subramanian, also known as DJ Psy Inertia and Kafka, wearing sunglasses in front of a red shutter, representing his work across techno, electronica, experimental music, deep house, tech house and progressive.

Psy Inertia has published the tracklist for episode 10 of his show on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency and promoter, publishing music news and connecting audiences across the region and internationally.


Sai Subramanian, performing as DJ Psy Inertia and also known as Kafka, is one of India's longest-serving DJs. Trained at the SPIN DJ academy, he has held residencies at venues including Tavern, Brighton, Lush, HQ, Purple Haze and Vie Lounge, building a reputation for sets that work across techno, electronica, experimental music, deep house, tech house and progressive.


His SoundCloud documents a body of work shaped by a wide range of influences including Massive Attack, Dave Clarke, Frankie Knuckles, Sven Väth, Talvin Singh, Skream, Morcheeba and Kitaro among others. That breadth of reference feeds directly into his ability to adapt his selections to the mood and energy of each setting.


International radio appearances have included Play FM in Austria, Studio Lux FM in Luxembourg, MoreBass Radio in New York, UDMI Radio in Dublin, Emergency FM in Leeds, Clubsoundz Radio in Paris and guest sessions on DI.FM. His Beatport profile reflects recent production work that has led to a deal with Visiomind Records in Vienna, with further collaborations with Mechanic and Tropic Records in development.


DJ Psy Inertia Podcast 10 opens with Labert's Lost Memories on Variety Music, its warm Progressive House atmosphere setting the tone immediately. Modeplex's Satellite on Submerge Music follows, the track's Melodic House and Techno qualities introducing a slightly more driving direction before Hrag Mikkel and Pambouk's Woodpecker in the Arude Remix on Kitchen Recordings returns to the progressive thread.


Arude's Longing For Desire featuring Vanice on Desert Hearts Black sits firmly in Melodic House and Techno territory before Max Freegrant and Slow Fish's Sweet Lies on Freegrant Music pulls the set back into Progressive House. Cid Inc. and Orsen's Ten in the Nick Muir Remix on Replug follows, the track marking Replug's tenth anniversary and featuring a remix from Nick Muir, whose Bedrock history with John Digweed connects the label to the progressive underground's foundational years.


Lehar's Everything I Ever Did on Compost Black Label introduces a deeper Melodic House and Techno quality before Rafael Cerato's Evaporate on EXE AUDIO arrives as the podcast's sole Indie Dance selection. Bait and Switch's Orient Express on Heinz Music and Alexey Union and Jon.K's Never Ending on Beatfreak Recordings return to Progressive House before Sharam's Party All The Time in the Freedom Club Mix on Yoshitoshi delivers a House Music moment rooted in the Washington DC producer's long history with the genre.


Leaving Laurel's Sometimes It's Scary But It's Still Just You & Me on Anjunadeep and Catz 'N Dogz, ZENSOFLY and Maxville's Wave in the Kassian Remix on Pets Recordings carry the podcast into its mid-section before Manuel Moreno, Natasha Waters and Definition's Ghost on Hive Audio sustains the progressive direction. Nuffer's Fake on Prison Entertainment and Tony Dia's 9/11 on Mukke push deeper into Melodic House and Techno territory before Sasha Carassi and Davide Famularo's Shiver in the 8Kays Remix on ATLANT continues in the same vein.


Maceo Plex and Faithless's Insomnia 2021 in the Epic Mix on Ministry Of Sound arrives as one of the podcast's most recognisable moments, the contemporary reworking of the 1995 classic bridging the gap between the genre's foundational era and its current incarnation. Kaz James and Nick Morgan's Not In Love, and ARTBAT's Flame on UPPERGROUND carry the set forward, the Ukrainian duo's Melodic House and Techno architecture providing one of the podcast's more driven moments before Four Hands's Springfield in the ANMA Remix on Hover Mind sustains the melodic direction.


Marc Werner's Temporary in the Juliet Sikora Remix on Kittball and Maksim Dark and BOHO's Confuse on Octopus Records push the set into Tech House and Techno territory before Tiefstone's Protective on Nightmare Unlimited returns to Melodic House and Techno, the Argentine producer's track having reached number one on Beatport's global Melodic House and Techno chart in May 2021.


Paul Oakenfold's Southern Sun in the Moe Aly Remix on Perfecto Records closes the podcast on a Trance note, the Perfecto classic's inclusion as the final selection giving Podcast 10 a deliberately nostalgic closing statement that connects the progressive underground to one of its most enduring antecedents.
