The Lab Sessions present Assemble 5, the fifth edition of their programme on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an Asian electronic music radio station, promoter, DJ agency and music news platform, connecting underground artists and listeners across the region and internationally.
Based in Bogotá, Colombia, The Lab Sessions is an electronic music collective focused on performance, collaboration, curation and cultural exchange. Its work is closely connected with the development of Colombia’s underground scene and with creating platforms for artists working both locally and internationally.
Since its formation, TLS has concentrated on presenting Colombian DJs and producers alongside visiting artists from abroad. That approach allows the collective to highlight the strength of the country’s electronic music community while also encouraging exchange between different scenes and musical backgrounds.
The collective has developed its identity through showcases, curated events and larger productions. Rather than functioning only as a promoter, TLS has built a wider platform that brings together artists, audiences and venues through a shared interest in underground electronic music.
Active across South America since 2016, The Lab Sessions has organised and participated in events in a range of respected clubs and cultural spaces. These appearances have helped the collective build a broader network while maintaining its Bogotá roots.
Community remains an important part of the TLS approach. Its events bring together local audiences, international visitors, established artists and emerging talent without treating one group as more central than another.
That philosophy carries directly into the Assemble radio series. Each edition gives artists connected with the collective space to represent their own musical direction while contributing to the wider identity of The Lab Sessions.
Assemble 5 continues that format with another programme shaped by the collective’s Colombian background and international outlook. The episode provides a snapshot of the sound, connections and curatorial ideas that have defined TLS since its early years.
Through radio, events and artist collaboration, The Lab Sessions continues to strengthen the visibility of Colombian underground electronic music beyond its home city. Assemble 5 forms part of that wider effort, presenting the collective’s perspective to listeners across Asia and internationally.
Guest DJ Natasha Delgado.
This week’s first guest DJ is Natasha Delgado, a Venezuelan DJ whose journey reflects steady growth within the Latin American underground electronic music scene. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Natasha began her musical career in 2012.
Her early development was shaped through formal DJ training under Milton Hernández, founder of the Pitch Control DJ and music production school, where she built a strong technical foundation. She later refined her skills under the guidance of Claudio Imperatrice, focusing on console management, mixing techniques and performance control across electronic music formats.
In 2017, Natasha relocated to Cali, Colombia, where she continues to be an active presence within the local scene. Since moving, she has performed regularly at private events, bars and cultural venues, gradually establishing herself through consistent club appearances rather than short-term visibility.
Her club experience includes performances at venues such as La Gerencia, Garden Lounge, Santo Cielo, Sonido Central, La Sala Club, La Fabryka, After Mood and Spiel House, reflecting a broad engagement with Cali’s underground circuit.
Alongside her DJ work, Natasha remains connected to the Venezuelan scene. One of her more recent contributions includes collaborating with DJ AnBrach on the launch of Box Music Studio in Caracas, a project aimed at supporting creative exchange, recording and development within the local electronic community.
Musically, her sound sits at the intersection of Deep House, House and Techno. Her sets often incorporate organic textures and natural elements, including wind effects, strings and percussion, creating a fluid and atmospheric approach that balances groove with subtle emotional detail.
Second guest DJ Bralan
This week’s second guest DJ is Dilan Aristizabal, also known as Bralan, an emerging DJ and producer from Bogotá, Colombia. From an early age, Bralan developed a strong connection to electronic music, shaped by the growth of global dance culture and its underground roots.
His introduction to DJing was deeply influenced by Bogotá’s local scene, where exposure to club culture and independent events guided his early musical direction. His formative years behind the decks explored a wide range of styles, including Deep House, Tech House, Minimal and Techno.
Through this process, he refined his identity and ultimately centred his sound around House music, drawn to its balance of rhythm, emotion and musical depth. For Bralan, House represents a complete language. A genre that connects groove, feeling and movement in equal measure.
This philosophy is reflected in his approach to DJing, where flow and musical coherence take priority over rigid genre boundaries. Since 2018, he has built steady experience across Bogotá’s club circuit, performing at venues and events such as Centrico, After Mood, Miranda, Vitoria Bar and Armando Records.
These appearances have helped establish his presence within the city’s underground community through consistency rather than hype. Alongside his DJ work, Bralan continues to develop his production output, focusing on House and its related sub-genres. His current trajectory reflects an artist committed to craft, growth and long-term development within Colombia’s electronic music community.
The first hour, curated by Natasha, opens with Adisyn's "Tell Me", Dee Montero with Newman on "Shadows" and Gab Rhome with Kora's "Toboggan", creating an immediate Melodic House and Techno foundation. M.O.S. and Madota then introduce Organic House, softening the rhythmic profile while keeping the first hour centred on detailed melodic movement.
Katrinka returns the set to melodic territory before Matan Caspi with Roy Kubi and Awka introduce Progressive House through "Jaruh" and "Fauna". Blaktone, AfterU, Strinner and Ae strengthen the melodic thread around Lunar Plane's Afro House cut "Olappa", before Harvy Valencia with Lumc House close Natasha's hour with a firmer Tech House groove.
The second hour, mixed by Bralan, changes direction immediately through Patrice Scott's "Be Free", followed by Allen Craig with Tobirus Mozelle and Frank Rogen as the programme settles into Deep House and Soulful House territory. Mark Laird and Sweely then strengthen the House Music foundation before Johnny Fiasco's "Taurus" brings the mix back towards a deeper groove.
Los Hermanos introduce driving Techno with "Central Nervous System", while Detroit Swindle's "Coffee In The Morning" provides a dub-inflected change of pace before O'Flynn and JVXTA return the session to house and deep house. Alden Tyrell then brings a rawer, hypnotic techno edge through "Game Theory", setting up Kevin Saunderson's "Rock To The Beat" for another stronger Detroit-rooted surge.
Bralan closes the second hour with his remix of Tyme Ayre's "I Want It", introducing Electronica after a sequence built mainly from House, Deep House and Techno. Across Assemble 05, Natasha provides the more melodic and organic first hour, while Bralan answers with deeper house foundations and a tougher techno-led middle section, giving the episode two clearly defined but complementary halves.
