For Assemble 26, Ash presents a multi-genre selection shaped around dreamy textures, vocal detail and melodic club energy. Her contribution brings a South African perspective to The Lab Sessions’ international guest format.
Guest DJ Andhi Rivas (second hour)
The second guest DJ for Assemble 26 is Andhi Rivas, an Argentine DJ and producer raised in Paraná, Entre Ríos. His electronic music influences include John Creamer, John Digweed, Nick Muir, Sander Kleinenberg, Hernán Cattáneo, Mathias Kaden, Sven Väth and D-Nox & Beckers.

Andhi began performing in his native province before moving into the Buenos Aires club circuit. His appearances have included venues such as Bahrein, Niceto Club, Asia de Cuba Puerto Madero, EsVedra in San Telmo and Caix Costa Salguero.
Across his career, he has shared line-ups with artists including Brian Gros, Lemonade, Luis Nieva, Seph Live, Mariano Santos, Andrea Cassino, Mike Griego and Andrés Zacco. His production catalogue includes releases and remixes connected to Future Avenue, Bullfinch, The Audio Atelier and nown.
Recent Beatport listings show a strong Progressive House direction, including Dinastia remixes on Future Avenue and The Audio Atelier. Other releases include Stors with Sorensen, Distance with Matias Rios on Bullfinch, and My Long Journey with Rik-H on nown.
His contribution to Assemble 26 brings an Argentine Progressive House and Techno perspective to The Lab Sessions’ international guest format. Updates and releases can be found through his Beatport artist page, Spotify profile and Instagram.
DJ Ash opens the first hour with Aikon and Sandhog’s “Carpaccio,” a Melodic House and Techno release on Monaberry. The Organism, Dave Seaman, Kinky Sound and Teenage Mutants with Moonwalk keep the first half centred on melodic club music, while Kino Tido and the Red Axes edit of “Gidafi Na” add a stronger Indie Dance component.
Argy, Adana Twins and Agents Of Time take DJ Ash’s set further into the melodic house and techno side before DJ T introduces another house-rooted variation. Bross (RO) closes the deeper section with the Nacho Varela and Cruz Vittor remix of “Trubadour,” officially classified as Organic House, before the Pink Floyd rework ends the first hour.
Andhi Rivas begins the second hour with Hot Tuneik before Notre Dame and Andrea Cassino move the mix through progressive and melodic territory. Guy Mantzur and Khen’s “My Golden Cage” in Kasper Koman’s 4AM remix is classified as melodic house and techno, while Rinzen and Enamour’s “Quark” sits in the same category.
Javier Portilla with Sotela and Katrin Souza then take the second hour deeper into Progressive House, followed by Kevin de Vries and Innellea’s “Mondfinsternis.” The Afterlife release is also melodic house and techno, strengthening that genre as the dominant thread across both DJ sets.
Rinzen returns with “Lotus Eater” before Marbs, Rinzen and Evan Casey add “Helix,” maintaining the darker melodic focus into the closing section. Borne Aloft finishes Episode 26 with “Primal Urge,” completing a two-hour programme led by melodic house and techno, progressive house, indie dance and organic house.
