Sri Lankan DJ Sri Lankan DJ Vishnu presents The Eternal Energy 01 on Scientific Sound Asia, with Fernando appearing in the first hour and Vishnu hosting the second. Scientific Sound Asia is an English-language electronic music radio station, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
The programme brought Vishnu together with guest DJs for selections centred on Deep and Progressive music. Its fortnightly format gave listeners a regular place to hear the hosts' individual approaches alongside those of their guests.
Each session foregrounded Vishnu's style and the different musical perspectives of the invited artists. The selections explored melodic progressions and rhythmic detail associated with Deep and Progressive House.
The broadcasts focused on music's ability to prompt feeling and movement. They also created a shared space for artists and listeners drawn to electronic music.
The series introduced new tracks, exclusive mixes and developments from the Deep and Progressive scenes. This first edition pairs Fernando's opening hour with Vishnu's second-hour selection.
Host DJ (second hour) Vishnu
As a teenager, Vishnu was captivated by the joy music could evoke in listeners, and he aspired to bring smiles to his audience through his music. Self-taught, he began his journey in 2010 and developed his ability to express emotions through music.
In Sri Lanka, where Commercial Music dominates nightlife, Vishnu's main interests were Underground music. Techno, Deep House, Progressive House and Progressive Techno have been his greatest strengths.
Vishnu has his own way of capturing the essence of his listeners and encouraging them to move to his selections. His work comes from creativity and passion, informed by a deep love of music.
Vishnu says, "Music is a language that allows people to communicate feelings, through which happiness can be spread. And I would say, the ultimate aim of living would be to, just be happy."

Opening with Tim Green's Vacation to Life on All Day I Dream, the programme establishes a melodic, spacious foundation in Melodic House and Techno. Goda Brother, Enertia sound and Ultraverse follow with the Ultraverse Remix of Shiva, before Dylan Deck, NOIYSE PROJECT and Lio Q bring the Lio Q Remix of Hermanos into the sequence.
Francisco Castro's Moving Around on Transensations Records introduces the first confirmed Progressive House passage. Andre Moret's Recover on Clubsonica Records and Dimuth K's Minesweeper on Proton Music keep that direction focused and measured.
Madonna's Secret, in the Bautista Toniolo & Ramiro Drisdale Unofficial Remix, leads to Celene's Singing Garden on Eat My Hat Music. DJ Zombi's Octopus, remixed by Cid Inc. and Orsen for Visceral, extends the progressive thread with a more forceful club emphasis.
Sharam and Bengle's London Mix of The Rain sits between the earlier progressive material and Moonwalk's Salem on Stil Vor Talent. Highjacks then returns to Progressive House through Venus on Lowbit.
Echodaft's Teklix Remix of Dishonest Horn on Dopamine White moves into Ignacio Arbeleche's Camus on BQ Recordings. Martin Andrioli and Katzen's Aura on Massive Harmony Records is followed by Gux Jimenez's El Fin on Clubsonica Records, holding the set in its progressive groove.
Mode Apart's Kashuni on YOMO Records returns to the melodic techno edge before Da Fresh's Cold Light on Area Verde restores the Progressive House focus. Echo Daft's Fabri Lopez Remix of The Magic of Nature on Dopamine White gives way to Jab Vix and Javier Duque's Nosh & Sj Remix of Space Biker on Balkan Connection, bringing the programme to its final progressive finish.
