Petrichor 75, hosted by Rumesh, announced its playlists and guest DJ Alpha21 on Scientific Sound Asia in April 2020. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Within Sri Lanka’s underground music evolution, Rumesh is a DJ with a particular affinity for Progressive House and initiated Petrichor, a radio podcast series with an international audience. The series hosts international talents each week, and the preceding programme’s second hour is Petrichor 74’s second hour.
Guest DJ (first hour) Alpha21.
This week’s guest DJ Alpha21 in the first hour is Thanushka Chathuranga, better known by his stage name ALPHA21, a DJ and producer from Weligama, Sri Lanka. He has been closely linked to electronic music since 2015, developing his musical taste and polishing it.
As a DJ, he takes audiences on a Progressive path from beginning to end and sees himself as a storyteller whose purpose is to enchant crowds and create good memories. The styles he plays are closely associated with Progressive House, Deep House and Melodic Techno.
ALPHA21’s biggest influences are Guy J, Volen Sentir, Jeremy Olander and Marcelo Vasami, whose unique and original styles inform his work. His music has been released on BC2 Records, Mystic Carousel Records in Spain, Cause Org Records and IN2U Records, among others.
His music enables him to bare his soul and express his personality, while his sets are emotional tales whispered secretly into your ear. Enjoy the show.
Petrichor 75 opens with Santiago Forteza’s Ses Ailes de Ge'ant on Beatfreak Limited, establishing Progressive House from the outset. Juan Erbin’s Kids & Kites (Evegrem Vs Ivan Aliaga Remix) follows on Droid9.
Max Freegrant and Miss Monique’s Stranger Things (Atleha Remix) on Freegrant Music brings a Techno turn to the programme. Dimuth K’s Minesweeper on Proton Music then returns the selection to Progressive House.
