Secret Underground present programme 03 with guest DJ B3N on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an electronic music radio station, promoter, music-news platform and DJ agency connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Secret Underground is a record label and event management company from Sri Lanka. The Indian Ocean island has one of the region's largest audiences for Progressive House and underground music more broadly.
The organisation began with founder Pasindu Dilhara, who created a Facebook page for electronic-music posts. It later became a Mixcloud podcast and record label intended to support DJs in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka's early rave scene helped bring electronic music to a wider local audience. Secret Underground promotes underground events in Sri Lanka and runs its podcast in association with Scientific Sound Asia radio.
The crew also plans to develop the Secret Underground name internationally. Its stated aim is to connect artists and music enthusiasts within underground dance music.
Guest DJ B3N.
Guest DJ B3N, whose real name is Dishan Priyanka, is from Colombo, Sri Lanka, and began as a freelance DJ in early 2003. His interest in House Music led him to pursue DJing as a profession.
Through residencies, experience and time behind the decks, he found particular affinity with Progressive House, Melodic House and Techno, and Tech House. He has performed in high-end venues as well as at private parties.
His performances aim to create a fantasy-like atmosphere on the dancefloor. B3N hosts a podcast called "Secret City" on Mixcloud, where he shares new tracks with his audience.
His work has made him an inspiration to his fanbase and aspiring DJs. This session features music by Adrian Roman, Dowden, Nicolas Barbieri, Ziger, Matan Caspi and others.
The Secret Underground 03 with guest DJ B3N episode opens in Progressive House with Adrian Roman and Dowden's Black Cloud on Beat Boutique, followed by Nicolas Barbieri's Imaginary Way on Genesis Music. Ziger and Matan Caspi's Butterfly on Outta Limits leads into Ewan Rill and K Loveski's Subandrio remix of Elau for Balkan Connection.

East Cafe's Subandrio remix of Meridian on LuPS Records restores the progressive-house focus, while Nicholas Van Orton's Greenage remix of Shelby comes from Balkan Connection South America. Juan Pablo Torrez's extended mix of Stargaze precedes Juan Deminicis's Dogma on Clubsonica Records.
Punu's Fernando Olaya remix of Leviathan on Asymmetric Recordings adds another melodic house and techno passage before Paul Sawyer's Mir Omar remix of Terminus on Mistique Music. Darko De Jan and Esphyr's Matter remix of Clairvoyant on Transpecta gives way to NOIYSE PROJECT's Greenage remix of Aurora Rain on Balkan Connection.
