In addition to their regular broadcasts, they manage 'AH Digital Essentials' on Proton Radio in the United States and 'Hypnotised presents Energetic' on Progressive Beats Radio in Germany, providing listeners with a diverse selection of progressive house music.

Beyond his radio commitments, Hypnotised is acclaimed for his dynamic performances.

Collaborating with artists like Marco Bailey, Tom Hades, and Nick Bril, and showcasing his talents at prestigious venues and events such as the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) and the Deep on Deck Festival in South Africa, he has firmly established his reputation within the global house music scene.

The launch of his record label "AH Digital" in partnership with PatriZe in 2015 marked a significant milestone in his career. The debut EP, 'People from the Otherworld,' received widespread acclaim, achieving fourth place in the charts. The remix by Rui Da Silva played a crucial role in enhancing its visibility. Additionally, Hypnotised's "Infinity" EP made a notable impact, reaching top positions on the Beatport Release Charts in the UK.

Guest DJ Hamza Malik.

This week's guest DJ is Hamza Malik, a rising talent in the global electronic music scene, hailing from Islamabad, Pakistan. Known for his refined blend of Organic House and Progressive elements, Hamza brings a fresh and emotionally rich approach to his music, combining delicate natural tones with driving, modern beats.

Hamza's musical identity is shaped by his connection to organic instrumentation, layered with deep basslines and hypnotic rhythms. His sets are immersive journeys that steadily build in complexity, drawing listeners in with subtle shifts in mood and texture. Rather than simply following trends, Hamza focuses on creating deeply resonant experiences that aim to connect on both a physical and emotional level.

Inspired by artists such as Guy J, Kora, and Lee Burridge, Hamza's production work and live sets reflect a deep appreciation for groove, melody, and progression. Tracks like "AL-1 (Prog House)", "Perseidian Dawn", and "PYROMANIA (Deep Progressive)" illustrate his capacity to balance subtle intricacies with compelling momentum. These releases have helped him carve out a name among emerging producers and DJs in the progressive and organic house scenes.

As a performer, Hamza thrives on crafting sets that evolve naturally, allowing each transition and motif to serve a purpose. His shows encourage introspection while keeping feet firmly on the dancefloor. His music has started to gain traction not only in South Asia but also with international audiences via platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud.

Beyond performance, Hamza remains deeply engaged with the broader creative process, always looking for new ways to elevate his sound and connect with new listeners. His passion for exploring the boundaries between nature-inspired tones and modern production continues to shape his journey as an artist.

The first hour of this week’s show, curated by Hypnotised, opens with the earthy tones of Organic House on Nicolas Giordano’s “Positivity,” before flowing smoothly into a range of Progressive House selections. From the emotional layers of Mekci’s “Dissident Emotions” to the deeper momentum of COQUEIT’s “Exhaust,” each track builds on a sense of warmth and drive. Highlights include DJ MacIntyre & Dr Green’s funk-tinged “Martian Boogie” and Randle & Gabriel Filip’s “Prihab,” reworked by DJ Bird into a peak-hour Progressive roller.

In the second hour, Hamza Malik keeps the energy alive with refined and emotive selections. Starting with Gaspar Carrenio & Freedo Mosho’s “Downloop,” the set balances between flowing Progressive beats and subtle Organic House rhythms, as in the Erdi Irmak remix of “Special Moments.” “Zeus” by Max Wexem delivers a pulsing centrepiece, while Amber Long & Hot TuneiK’s “Heaven on Earth” adds lyrical depth.

As the mix progresses, we see a seamless blend into Melodic House & Techno territory with “The Voyage” by Island Hill & Komilev and the lush remix of “Casualities” by Nacho Varela & Cruz Vittor. These bring a dreamlike, contemplative atmosphere, adding nuance to the final stretch of the set.

Closing with Tomas Gracia’s “Drift” and Mayro’s “Colorful World,” the show winds down with a return to melodic emotion. This episode captures the full spectrum of deep, moving electronic music, from Organic grooves to peak-time Progressive House power, crafted for an immersive listening journey.
