Sri Lankan DJ Vishnu featured in The Eternal Energy 05 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an English-language electronic music radio station, promoter, DJ agency and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Published in 2020, the announcement presented Vishnu alongside guest DJs for the fifth edition of the series. The programme was described as a fortnightly platform for Deep and Progressive music, bringing guest artists into Vishnu's selections.
Each session was intended to give Vishnu's style space alongside the differing influences and approaches of the guests. Its musical focus included melodic progressions and rhythmic passages associated with deep and progressive house.
The series positioned its broadcasts as occasions for listeners to encounter new tracks and exclusive mixes. It also aimed to bring together people interested in electronic music and the collaborative work of its featured DJs.
The Eternal Energy 05 opens with Leon & Nice7's Please Don't Leave, before Denney & James Dexter's Lucid Dreams on Rebellion brings in Deep House. LADS' Eis follows on Nie Wieder Schlafen, introducing the lighter contours of Organic House.
Leon & Nice7 return with Serge Devant's remix of Please Don't Leave on Crosstown Rebels, a house record that leads into Gux Jimenez's Nefelterna on Mango Alley. Analog Jungs' Supernova, also on Mango Alley, establishes the more sustained movement of Progressive House.
Eric Lune's GMJ remix of Embers on Sound Avenue and Dimuth K & Shannon Davin's Subandrio remix of Horus on Visceral extend that progressive thread. Henry Saiz's Voice of a Gentle Breeze on Last Night On Earth then shifts the tone towards Melodic House and Techno, before Saturn Keys' Mist on The Purr eases the pace.
Moby's The Last Day appears in an unofficial Analog Jungs remix before NAHS' Nami on Balkan Connection returns to the programme's progressive focus. Carla Cimino's Vertigo on Nube Music Records and Gaston Ponte's Myoho on Auditen Music keep the melodic development in view.
Rona (Il)'s We Are is heard in the Kamilo Sanclemente & Mauro Aguirre remix, followed by NAHS' Andre Moret remix of Meditation on Massive Harmony Records. Saturn Keys' Cloud Dance on The Purr revisits the deeper side of the selection before the final progressive records.
Agustin Vitale's Nico Szabo remix of Bla Bla Bla on BQ Recordings carries the programme towards its close. Lautaro Fernández ends the set with Dreams Coming True on Dreamers, leaving the episode in its established progressive-house direction.
