The Lab Sessions announce guest DJs and playlists for Assemble 23

The Lab Sessions announce guest DJs Mattjuan and Nat Queen Kult for episode 23 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 activity beyond Colombia.

Guest DJ Mattjuan (first hour).

The first guest DJ for Assemble 23 is Mattjuan, a Colombian selector from Bogotá. Also identified as Mateo Ruiz, he works across Minimal House, Micro House, Break House and related House styles.

His musical outlook was shaped by early exposure to Dance, House and Rock from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Those influences inform sets that connect older musical references with contemporary underground House structures.

When performing across Bogotá, Mattjuan draws on the sounds that shaped his formative years while keeping the dancefloor at the centre of his selections. His radio appearances follow a similar approach, linking personal taste with a broad understanding of House music.

His contribution to Assemble 23 brings a Colombian House perspective to The Lab Sessions’ international format. Updates and event information can be found through his Instagram and Facebook profile.

Guest DJ Nat Queen Kult (second hour).

The second guest DJ for Assemble 23 is Nat Queen Kult, a Russian DJ and producer originally from Moscow. Now based in Miami, she is linked to Caribbean and South American influences and has spent more than a decade working within electronic music.

Her production career began in 2010, with releases connected to labels including Natura Viva, Monique Musique, Monique Speciale and Tanzbar. Her sound is rooted in House music, combining melodic structure, minimal detail and a bright rhythmic character.

After leaving Moscow, Nat Queen Kult spent time in Havana, Cuba, before developing further musical connections across South America. Those experiences helped broaden her style and brought additional cultural reference points into her work as a DJ and producer.

Recent Beatport listings show her current output moving strongly through Minimal / Deep Tech. These include Back2back and Super High with MAR-K on Vandalismo Company, alongside remixes for Tarek JR, Never Alone In A Dark Room, Arrioondas and Joaquin Gliese.

Her wider catalogue also includes Red Pellikan on Vandalismo Alone Company and earlier material such as the Throttle EP on Zebra Rec. That release placed her work within Deep Tech, Deep House, Microhouse and Minimal Techno territory.

Her contribution to Assemble 23 adds a Russian-born, internationally shaped perspective to The Lab Sessions’ guest format. Updates and releases can be found through her Beatport artist page, Instagram, SoundCloud and Facebook page.

'Assemble' by The Lab Sessions episode 23 features DJ Mattjuan in the first hour and Nat Queen Kult in the second hour. DJ Mattjuan opens with Alineat’s I Hear Colors, setting a Minimal / Deep Tech direction built around tight rhythm, reduced phrasing and late-night club pressure.

Constratti’s If Summer Could Sing keeps that sound in focus, drawing from deep tech, minimal and House references found in the release tags. Dirty Culture’s This Kid Is Going Places and Divad’s Aegle extend the opening section with stripped percussion and a compact underground feel.

Enrico Mantini’s Doe Funk brings the hour into Deep House, with its Bandcamp tags pointing towards nu-funk and jazz house detail. Giacomo Pellegrino’s Lost Hotel then shifts towards Dub Techno, using the Italian producer’s dub-focused catalogue context as a clear reference point.

Haass’ Groove Patient returns the first hour to House Music before KiRiK takes over with three selections from the UZVAR005 material. Call to Maria, Era Wa Dee and Port Betaald sit naturally inside his Minimal / Deep Tech profile, using long-form groove, subtle bass movement and restrained rhythmic detail.

Moloko’s Sing It Back appears through Daniel Meister’s edit, closing DJ Mattjuan’s hour with a recognised vocal hook rebuilt for a deeper club setting. The edit fits the surrounding Minimal / Deep Tech structure while giving the first hour a more familiar closing reference.

Nat Queen Kult begins the second hour with Milos Pesovic’s Up And Down, keeping the programme close to Minimal / Deep Tech through the producer’s regular minimal-tech profile. NOISSE’s O.G and VITO (UK)’s Interlectual continue that reduced direction, with VITO’s catalogue sitting between deep tech and Tech House.

Bigstate and Eye-Xpress introduce Tech House through Shazam This, bringing a firmer club rhythm into the second hour. Rhomer Perez follows with Coconut, briefly opening the sound into House before Alex Sounds’ Claro returns the mix to a sharper Tech House shape.

Ben Murphy’s G Spott fits the underground minimal thread before Bee Lincoln’s Berlin Am Meer and Bubble Trouble deepen the section. Bee Lincoln’s catalogue leans heavily into Minimal / Deep Tech and Tech House, which places both tracks naturally inside the second hour’s reduced club framework.

Superchip and Kryoman’s Your Love moves the set back towards Tech House, followed by Hassio and Sammy Morris’ Day Three. That track has a clear Tech House listing, adding a more direct rhythmic push before 2KNWN’s The Kings Of The Synth introduces a Disco House shift.

Alex Arnout’s Hypnotherapy brings the closing stretch back into stripped underground House forms, matching the S.A.S.H. release context around rough club rollers. Bigstate and Eye-Xpress close the episode with 2 Spades In Space, ending Nat Queen Kult’s second hour with Tech House after DJ Mattjuan’s deeper Minimal / Deep Tech opening.
