Over the years, he has developed Petrichor hosted by Rumesh as a personal platform for his selections. The radio podcast series has grown into an established international series featuring guests from a range of countries and presenting Progressive House each week.
The edition represented an expansion of the series when it joined the Scientific Sound Asia roster. It offers a further outlet for Rumesh’s curation and for the worldwide artists he champions.
Guest DJ Kaludewa (first hour)
Kaludewa provides the first hour of the programme. Hailing from southern Sri Lanka, Chandeepa Kaludewa is an underground music enthusiast and self-taught DJ with a steadily growing following in his home country.
His commitment to deep, emotive club music has earned recognition within Sri Lanka’s progressive scene, where his selections are known for warmth, flow and atmosphere. His podcast series, Progressive House Mantra Sessions, is his signature project and expresses his artistic philosophy.
Kaludewa describes that philosophy in his own words. “For me, music is what feelings sound like. It says all those things that words alone can never say.”
The series has helped him connect with listeners who appreciate emotional depth, extended musical narratives and thoughtful progression in a mix. Although he explores a broad spectrum of underground music, his natural home as a DJ lies in Techno and Progressive House, particularly when he can introduce a melodic twist.
His sets balance momentum with introspection, giving each performance a sense of movement and intention. In this opening hour, Kaludewa brings that approach to Petrichor through rhythm, sentiment and melodic detail.
Guest DJ Bodai (second hour).
The second hour of Petrichor 64 is performed by Bodai. Gisele Bruno, known artistically as Bodai, is a DJ, producer, vocalist and label manager born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Her passion for music began at the age of eight, when she started formal studies in theory, solfeggio, singing and piano. Those early foundations shaped her identity as both a musician and a storyteller.
In 2013, she returned to composition and began mixing progressive sounds, bringing her classical training into electronic music. Since then, Bodai has appeared on radio stations across the globe, including Berlin, Mexico, Ibiza, Sri Lanka, Australia, New York, Miami, Colombia, Hungary, Turkey, Tierra del Fuego, Buenos Aires and Vietnam.
She has performed at clubs throughout Argentina and internationally in Australia, Chile, the Netherlands and Brazil, sharing booths with Silicone Soul, Andrea Cassino, DJ Paul, Juan Deminicis, Brigado Crew and Ezequiel Arias. Her work as both a DJ and vocalist bridges Progressive House, Deep House, Ambient and Downtempo, giving her sets and productions an emotional, expressive character.
Her music has received support from Hernán Cattáneo, Nick Warren, Guy J, Nick Muir, Gai Barone, Cid Inc. and Aly & Fila, and she has appeared regularly in the Beatport Top 100 since 2018. Alongside hosting her monthly show NATURAL on FRISKY Radio in New York City, she runs the AMITABHA and Auditen Music labels with her partner Dynacom under the Auditen Music Group.
In recent years, Bodai has expanded her catalogue through a steady run of releases. Her work for Univack, 3rd Avenue, Modern Agenda, Balkan Connection, Mango Alley and AH Digital has marked her development as a producer.
Tracks including Herya, Anandi, Raksha and Sanctuary, together with her 2024 collaborations with Dynacom and Emi Galván, strengthened her international standing, with several pieces charting in Progressive House and Organic House rankings. Her vocals have also appeared in several collaborations, adding warmth and lyrical depth to projects across the international scene.
At the time of the original publication, new remixes, vocal features and original productions were scheduled for release throughout 2025. Bodai brings emotional clarity and musical craft to each performance as one of Argentina’s expressive progressive artists.
Kaludewa’s first hour opens with Alfonso Muchacho’s Abandon on Superordinate Music, establishing the programme’s Progressive House focus with melodic, expansive phrasing. Alfonso Muchacho follows with The Snake in Jonnas B’s remix on the same label, before Orkidea’s Unity receives an Alfonso Muchacho rework for Armada Music.
Muchacho’s The Curve of the Moon and Wasteland, the latter remixed by Julian Nates, maintain the Superordinate Music thread with patient melodic movement. His Visualise then leads into Sasha’s Arkham Asylum reworked by Muchacho for Last Night On Earth, pairing his own material with a reworked club record.
George FitzGerald’s Burns, reworked by Alfonso Muchacho for Anjunadeep, provides a measured bridge towards the final part of the first hour. Muchacho’s Pulse and Identity return to Superordinate Music before Artfaq’s Spring Violently, in an Alfonso Muchacho remix for Proton Music, closes Kaludewa’s contribution with a firmer peak.
Bodai begins the second hour with Iorie’s Organic House cut Zweisamkeit on Klassified, shifting the tone towards a more spacious opening. Piemont’s Okinawa, remixed by Gabriel Ananda for Soulful Techno Records, introduces Deep House detail before Madota’s Organic House track Rangi appears on Saisons.
Mustafa Gedik’s Stranger in Las Von’s remix on ICONYC Noir returns to Progressive House, and Marsh featuring Mimi Page’s Eu Topos on Anjunadeep extends its vocal, melodic character. Alejandro Conde and Albano Bastonero’s Venito on AMITABHA follows with Deep House warmth, while the unidentified ID on the same label brings a brief Peak Time Techno accent.
Cubicolor’s Points Beyond on Anjunadeep moves into Melodic House and Techno, carrying the programme into its final sequence. Dynacom and Bodai’s Hibrida on AMITABHA returns to Deep House before Ben Böhmer’s Little Lights on Anjunadeep ends the set in a melodic, ambient-leaning register.
