Guest DJ Victor Crain.
Victor Crain is an artist and producer from Saint Petersburg, Russia, whose journey into electronic music began in 1993 while living in Germany. It was during this time that he was first exposed to the underground sounds of hardcore and techno, sparking a passion that would shape his artistic path.
Over the years, he immersed himself in the evolving electronic scene, drawing inspiration from a variety of genres before honing his signature style. By 2002, Victor had transitioned into DJing, refining his craft across deep house, progressive house, and organic house.
His sets reflect a balance of melodic depth and rhythmic intensity, capturing the essence of modern electronic music trends. While music remains a personal artistic pursuit rather than a full-time profession, Victor’s dedication to creating immersive musical experiences is evident in his carefully curated mixes and productions.
Beyond his DJing, Victor has recently ventured into music production during the last 2 years, releasing a new EP titled Myst Colours under the Kodai label recently. This release highlights his ability to blend deep, atmospheric tones with hypnotic grooves, further establishing his presence in the electronic music scene.
As an artist who values creative expression, he continues to experiment with sound, crafting unique compilations that resonate with both longtime electronic music enthusiasts and new listeners alike. His music offers a journey through modern deep and progressive sounds, shaped by years of experience and a genuine passion for the craft.
PatriZe’s first-hour set opens After Hours 665 with an impressive display of Progressive House artistry. Tracks like Mariano Giacinti’s “Castle Bravo” and Dousk’s “Pa Dida” establish a powerful foundation with intricate rhythms and expansive sounds. The energy continues to build with remixes from Havjers and Beat Tonic, seamlessly blending pulsating beats with a sophisticated sonic palette.
Midway through, the set takes an organic turn as HAFT’s “Cyrene” and Enzo Paradiso’s “Atemporal” introduce downtempo nuances that offer a reflective counterpoint to the driving Progressive House anthems. PatriZe masterfully layers these textures, with ELECGROUND’s intergalactic remix and Rodrigo Pochelu’s “Frida” punctuating the mix with moments of creative brilliance and immersive groove.
Transitioning into the second hour, Victor Crain elevates the journey with a fresh perspective on Progressive House. Opening with Matter’s “Wombat Forest,” his selection brings forward an expansive, hypnotic quality, enriched by downtempo accents from Dowden’s “An Owl's Flight.” Victor Crain weaves in the melodic intricacies of Guy J’s “Silver Lake” alongside remix gems from Bynomic and Greta Meier, capturing the essence of nocturnal energy.
Concluding the mix, tracks like Adora’s “Rhythm Symphony” and the extended remixes from Dublew and Forty Cats solidify the set’s narrative, while final moments from Harry Grig, Matter & Alex O'Rion, and Lanvary create a powerful crescendo. After Hours Episode 665 is a testament to the art of Progressive House, where meticulous curation meets the soulful depth of organic sounds, inviting listeners to embrace the transformative power of night.
