In Episode 640 of After Hours, co-host Hypnotised teams up with DJ Amar to bring a fresh and dynamic energy to the show. Scientific Sound Asia continues to establish itself as a leading force in the electronic music scene, captivating a global audience with its diverse offerings.
This week, Hypnotised takes centre stage as the show's host. Hailing from Ghent, Belgium, a city known for its vibrant electronic music culture, Hypnotised has built a formidable reputation. His performances at major events like "I Love Techno" and "10 Days of Techno" in Ghent have solidified his status, with his seamless blending of progressive and tech music leaving audiences spellbound and eager for more.
Hypnotised's journey in the electronic music scene took a significant turn when he partnered with fellow Belgian artist PatriZe to co-host the highly regarded "After Hours" programme. This show, broadcast on four prestigious house music radio stations—TM Radio in the USA, X-Beat in the EU, Cosmos Radio in Germany, and Scientific Sound Asia in Vietnam—has become a staple for fans of progressive house music.
Their mutual passion and dedication have propelled Hypnotised and PatriZe to the forefront of the global Progressive House music scene. In addition to their weekly show, they also curate 'AH Digital Essentials' on Proton Radio in the USA, and Hypnotised presents 'Energetic' on Progressive Beats Radio in Germany.
Hypnotised's influence extends far beyond the radio waves. He is widely recognised for his captivating live performances, having been a guest on some of the most esteemed platforms in the industry, including Ibiza Global Radio, Frisky Radio, DI FM, and Golden Wings Music Radio. Alongside PatriZe, he has made a significant impact in the Progressive House Radio scene, where their contributions have helped shape the genre's evolution.
Collaborations with renowned artists such as Marco Bailey, Tom Hades, Purple Disco Machine, Jesse Rose, and Nick Bril have further cemented their status in the electronic music world. Their unforgettable performances at high-profile events like the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), and Deep on Deck Festival in South Africa, and prestigious venues like Club NL in Amsterdam, Decadance in Ghent, W Lounge in Amsterdam, and Citylife in Terneuzen, have made them household names in the international House music scene.
In 2015, Hypnotised embarked on an exciting new chapter in his career by launching his record label, "AH Digital," in collaboration with PatriZe. This venture marked his official entry into music production, and his works quickly gained recognition, consistently charting in the Beatport Top 100 Releases and earning accolades from industry leaders. Under Hypnotised's guidance, AH Digital has become a hub for cutting-edge and forward-thinking music.
The label's debut EP, 'People from the Otherworld' by Hypnotised, made a significant splash, reaching an impressive fourth position on the charts. The EP gained further acclaim with a remix of its title track by the renowned artist Rui Da Silva, enhancing its reputation.
Hypnotised's "Infinity" EP also made a strong impact on the Beatport Release Charts in the UK, securing the second position in the progressive house and trance categories, and the third spot in techno. In 2016, he expanded his musical repertoire by producing under the alias "Man on the Moon." His track "Sense," released on the iconic Bonzai label, further solidified his standing as a versatile and talented producer, earning praise from both fans and industry peers.
Hypnotised's exceptional skill and creativity were further highlighted when he won the fiercely competitive Metapop remix competition, a remarkable achievement that earned him recognition within the electronic music community and led to his music being featured on 'Studio Brussels,' Belgium's premier radio station.
In addition to managing AH Digital and collaborating with Bonzai Progressive, Hypnotised has contributed significantly to several esteemed record labels, including Green Martian, SLC-6 Music, Pro-B-Tech Music, Stellar Fountain, Vesta Records, Insomnia FM, and Abstract Space Records.
