Assemble by The Lab Sessions episode 26 features DJ Ash in the first hour and Andhi Rivas in the second hour. DJ Ash opens with Aikon and Sandhog’s Carpaccio, placing the early section inside Indie Dance through the Monaberry release context and its darker melodic club character.

Sound Support’s Thesaurus Rex brings a House-rooted contrast through the House Of Disco Records catalogue, giving the opening sequence a looser groove. The Organism’s Radha in the Whitesquare remix then returns to Indie Dance, using a slow-burning rhythm and a controlled melodic line.

Kino Tido’s Goa Kids moves into Organic House, adding a warmer and more percussive sound to the first hour. Dave Seaman’s Donkey Engine in the Doctor Dru remix follows with a confirmed Indie Dance placement, keeping the set inside a darker and more club-focused electronic frame.

Kinky Sound’s Blow in the Rafael Cerato remix introduces Melodic House and Techno, giving the hour a stronger synth-led tone. Teenage Mutants and Moonwalk then shift into Peak Time Techno with Urania, adding a more forceful section before the rhythm opens again.

Kino Tido and Tesfit Ashodom’s Gidafi Na in the Red Axis edit brings an Afro House element into the middle of the first hour. Argy’s Ketuvim then returns to Melodic House and Techno, using the Renaissance Music release context and its chart visibility to anchor the section.

Adana Twins’ Immersion moves back into Indie Dance, matching the duo’s deeper and darker electronic profile. Agents Of Tim’s Drive Me Crazy follows with a melodic club structure before DJ T’s Harem Disco receives the Chaim and Uriah Klapter remix, bringing the hour back to Indie Dance.

Bross (Ro)’s Trubadour in the Nacho Valera and Cruz Vittor remix softens the late first hour with Organic House textures. The Tim Enso and Nadi Moss remix of Pink Floyd’s Another Brick In The Wall closes DJ Ash’s section with a familiar vocal reference reshaped for a melodic club setting.

Andhi Rivas begins the second hour with Hot Tuneik’s All the Divinity of Life, moving the episode into Progressive House through Proton’s melodic and deeper catalogue identity. Notre Dame’s Random Forest then shifts into Melodic House and Techno through Stil Vor Talent, giving the second hour a more atmospheric opening.

Andrea Cassino’s Rumore keeps the set inside Progressive House, using a smooth arrangement and gradual tension to hold the pace. Guy Mantzur and Khen’s My Golden Cage in the Kasper Koman 4AM remix follows with a Bedrock Records placement that fits the deeper progressive structure of the hour.

Rinzen and Enamour’s Quark returns the programme to Melodic House and Techno, with its Yoshitoshi release context and Beatport chart support giving the track a clear position in the mix. Javier Portilla and Sotela’s Raval in the Joe Fisher and Leandro Dutra remix then brings the hour back to Progressive House.

Katrin Souza’s A Dark Forest in the Paul Angelo and Don Argento remix keeps the second hour in a darker progressive frame. Kevin de Vries and Innellea’s Mondfinsternis then introduces the Afterlife sound, moving the sequence towards a more dramatic Melodic House and Techno section.

Rinzen’s Lotus Eater keeps the Yoshitoshi connection in place, adding another melodic and cinematic club track to the closing run. Marbs, Rinzen and Evan Casey’s Helix follows through the Desert Hearts Black catalogue, linking the late section to melodic House and Techno with a heavier underground edge.

BORNE ALOFT closes the episode with Primal Urge, fitting Ellum’s darker electronic identity and the second hour’s melodic direction. The episode moves from DJ Ash’s Indie Dance, Organic House and melodic opening into Andhi Rivas’ Progressive House and Melodic House and Techno closing section.
