The Lab Sessions have revealed the guest DJ and playlists for 'Assemble' 4, which will be broadcast this Tuesday. Scientific Sound Asia serves as the electronic music station, DJ agency, and promoter for expatriates and locals in India, China, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, the Philippines, and other parts of Asia.
The Lab Sessions (TLS) is an artistic electronic music collective based in Bogotá, Colombia, gradually building an alliance through their showcases and major events. Their goal is to showcase a representative image of the Colombian underground electronic music scene.
Simultaneously, TLS provides its diverse audience, consisting of locals and foreigners from various nationalities, with high-quality artistic content. This initiative seeks to prove that excellent music is created not only by international artists but also by Colombian artists and DJs with significant potential.
Since 2016, TLS has been organizing events across South America, performing in some of the most incredible venues and clubs. These venues include Octava, Klan 31, Teatron, KAPUTT, Vagabond, Bud-X Colombia, Top Secret Medellín, Armando Records, Céntrico, Mambo Alive, Sutton, Montibus Fest, Bassline events, TLS Parties, Eurotechno, Madame Garden (Cali), La Fabryka (Cali), Victoria, Masha, Vlak, Lede Club, and more recently at Groove and Dirty Sanchez in Quito (Ecuador).

Guest DJ Bustamante (first hour).
Bustamante is a Colombian DJ and founder of the Colombian Artistic Collective, as well as the movement known as The Lab Sessions in Colombia, and the international podcast titled "TLS Podcast". TLS consistently champions new talent at festivals held in various locations across Bogotá, collaborating with both established national and international DJs.
Bustamante draws inspiration from the rich sounds of Techno, Deep Tech, and House music originating from cities such as Berlin, Detroit, London, and Madrid. As a DJ and electronic music producer, he is committed to preserving electronic culture and its diverse musical genres.
He established the TLS collective, which aims to curate impactful experiences and support both emerging and established artists within the label. His passion for the electronic scene grew as he learned more about it, and he has opened doors in prominent venues across the Colombian capital to further develop his concept.
Bustamante's approach began with a combination of Steps and Stems Sequencers using Native Instruments D2 and D8 devices, eventually incorporating the use of decks. Currently, he is in the process of producing his first two EPs and anticipates a positive reception when he presents his work as a producer.

Guest DJ Juan Vera (second hour).
This week's second guest is Juan Camilo Rojas, known by the stage name Juan Vera, a professional DJ and producer hailing from Colombia. His musical preferences encompass Minimal Deep Tech, House, Progressive Techno, and Tech House.
At the age of 14, he developed an interest in the realm of electronic music, largely inspired by the electronic parties he attended with his friends. He immediately felt a connection with both the people and the music, which resonated deeply during his initial foray into electronica.
This early exposure fostered a positive view of the scene, leading him to discover his true passion. As a result, he dedicated himself to becoming a DJ and producer. He began his journey in his bedroom and soon started performing for friends at parties and small events.
In 2019, he took a significant step by enrolling in a music school to study production. He aims to release his first track during the festive season this year. His DJ career gained momentum while he was studying, and he has since performed at notable clubs in Bogotá, Colombia, including Klan 31, Aftermood, and Centrico.
His involvement with the TLS collective has further elevated his aspirations. Since joining the crew, he has begun to generate innovative concepts and ideas aimed at advancing the electronic music scene in the capital.
Bustamante opens the set with a masterful blend of Deep House and Minimal/Deep Tech, setting a captivating mood with tracks like Chris Stussy & Toman’s “Timewriter” and Sidney Charles’ “Sin City.” Each selection carves out a rich sonic experience, where pulsating deep grooves and intricate tech elements work in perfect harmony.
As the first hour unfolds, Bustamante’s mix transitions seamlessly between hypnotic Minimal/Deep Tech cuts and energetic Deep House anthems. With reworks like Christian Burkhardt’s “House Brause” and the smooth textures of Demarzo’s “Gospel,” the journey builds layers of atmosphere, guiding listeners through a thoughtful exploration of rhythm and texture.
In the second hour, Juan Vera takes over, shifting the vibe into a more soulful and uplifting realm. His selection starts with the warm, emotive beats of Soulsearcher’s “Feelin’ Love” remix and continues with the timeless charm of Jamie Lewis & Michelle Weeks’ “The Light,” seamlessly blending classic House with soulful nuances.
Juan Vera elevates the energy further with tracks that celebrate the essence of House music, whether it’s the irresistible groove of Kathy Brown’s “Last Time” remix, the vibrant pulse of Bah Samba’s “Portuguese Love,” or the dancefloor-ready rhythms of Jersey Maestros’ “Something Inside.” Each track is a carefully curated chapter in a story that culminates in a celebration of House and Dance music’s enduring spirit.
