The Lab Sessions announce guest DJs and playlists for Assemble 21

The Lab Sessions announces guest DJs Jenkins and PLOI for episode 21 of Assemble on Scientific Sound Asia. The platform operates as an expatriate and local underground radio station for Asia and internationally, alongside its work as a DJ agency, promoter and music news outlet.

Originating from Bogotá, Colombia, The Lab Sessions is an artistic electronic music collective representing the country’s underground scene through showcases and large-scale events. Its work focuses on cultural exchange, artist development and high-quality electronic music programming for local audiences and international listeners.

The collective highlights the depth of Colombian electronic music by placing regional artists alongside wider international sounds. Since 2016, The Lab Sessions has been active across South America through club nights, festivals and collaborative events.

Their appearances have taken place at venues and events including Octava, Klan 31, Teatron, KAPUTT, Vagabond, Bud-X Colombia, Top Secret Medellín, Armando Records, Céntrico, Mambo Alive, Sutton, Montibus Fest, Bassline events, TLS Parties, Euro Techno, Madame Garden, La Fabryka, Victoria, Masha, Vlak and Lede Club. More recently, the collective appeared at Groove and Dirty Sanchez in Quito, Ecuador, extending its activity beyond Colombia.

Guest DJ Jenkins (first hour).

The first guest DJ for Assemble 21 is Jenkins, a South Korean selector from Seoul. His sound is rooted in House music, with selections shaped by live instrumentation, vocals and energetic rhythmic detail.

Rather than working within one fixed House subgenre, Jenkins chooses tracks according to their musical strength and dancefloor impact. That approach has helped him build a following within Seoul’s underground scene, where he has become a regular presence at local events.

His contribution to Assemble brings another South Korean perspective to The Lab Sessions’ international guest format. The set places House music at the centre while drawing on the melodic and rhythmic qualities that define his style.

Guest DJ Ploi (second hour).

PLOI returns as the second guest DJ for Assemble 21, representing Seoul’s House music community. Alongside her work in music, she is also active in the healthcare sector as a nurse.

Her selections focus on Funky House, Disco House and Soulful House, while leaving room for other House-led sounds. She is drawn to rhythmic melodies, live instrumental detail and warm grooves that help build a direct exchange with listeners.

Beyond her DJ sets, PLOI contributes to Seoul’s event culture through party promotion and collaboration with other local selectors. Her appearance on Assemble 21 adds another South Korean House perspective to The Lab Sessions’ international series.

Assemble by The Lab Sessions episode 21 features DJ Jenkins in the first hour and Ploi in the second hour. DJ Jenkins opens with Reach and Elle Deva’s Attempted Love in the Carlos Yedra mix, placing the early section inside Soulful House before ISM and Miwa’s Mark Di Meo remix of Like The Light extends that vocal-led direction.

Retrostate’s Turn It Up moves the hour towards Funky House, using a brighter club tone that fits the first hour’s accessible rhythm. LP Giobbi’s Take My Hand strengthens that line with piano-led funk energy before Retrostate’s Temptation keeps the sound warm and direct.

Block & Crown and Jessy Saunders rework Forget Me Nots into a club mix that keeps the disco-rooted vocal hook within House Music structure. Zsak’s Magic follows with a polished Funky House feel before Sarang’s My Love returns the set to a smoother Soulful House passage.

Leomeo and Bruno Kauffmann’s Live It Up receives a Baseek remix that brings Pamela O’Neal’s vocal into a Funky House arrangement. Oliver Heldens’ Never Look Back in the Wh0 extended remix shifts into a broader House sound with a larger-room groove.

Laurent Simeca and Stephan M’s Heaven Earth keeps the rhythm direct, while Richard Grey and Lissat’s Emotions returns the hour to Funky House. Chris Willis and Damian Force close DJ Jenkins’ section with the Maurizio Basilotta and Rio Dela Duna remix of Where Is Your Love, ending the first hour with a clean vocal House finish.

Ploi begins the second hour with SY (DE)’s Can’t Get Enough, moving the programme into Minimal / Deep Tech. Juliche Hernandez follows with Arbokai, a DansuL release whose structure fits the reduced percussion and low-end swing that shapes much of the hour.

Luca Donzelli’s Reach Me and James My and Criss with Federico Moore’s Submarine keep the section stripped and groove-led. DJOKO’s Overflow then reinforces the Minimal / Deep Tech direction with a compact Rawsome Deep arrangement.

Luuk Van Dijk’s Lose Control adds a tougher House-rooted low end while staying close to the same reduced club framework. LewRaz, Robin Rafa and Tom Spark continue the second hour through Into It, Like This and Follow Me, keeping the mix focused on tight percussion and restrained builds.

Silver (UK)’s Needle In The Groove sits naturally within the same underground sequence before Lucas Alexander’s King K receives a deeper M-High remix. Nukem and Chubz then bring Funked Up Groove into the set, briefly reconnecting the second hour with House.

WLAD, Oden and Fatzo’s Moulin Rouge returns to Minimal / Deep Tech, drawing on the French trio’s wider blend of House, minimal and funk-influenced electronic material. Milion (NL) closes the episode with Treat U Right, ending Ploi’s second hour with a tight deep-tech rhythm after DJ Jenkins’ earlier Funky and Soulful House selections.
