About Secretly Famous:

In just a few short years, Australian progressive house duo Secretly Famous have grown from a quiet passion project into a respected name within the global electronic music landscape. With an ever-growing presence across some of Belgium’s most revered labels—Sound Avenue, 3rd Avenue, and Future Avenue—their journey has been one of steady evolution, grounded in humility and driven by a deep love for the music.

Their work speaks volumes. Four of their tracks currently sit in Sound Avenue’s Top 10, while their standout release “Firebullet Phoenix” held the #2 spot on 3rd Avenue’s Top 10 for months—a testament to the duo’s consistency and creative momentum. But beyond the numbers, their music has earned genuine support from tastemakers across the globe.

Their 2025 album, Inspired, released on Sound Avenue in February, marked a key milestone. A deeply personal project, the album has drawn praise and five-star support from scene heavyweights including Guy J, Miss Melera, Nicolas Rada, Eelke Kleijn, and Weird Sounding Dude, among others—cementing the duo’s place within the international progressive house community.

And 2025 is shaping up to be even more prolific. Recent releases include a new original on Progressive House Argentina, alongside a packed slate of upcoming projects: a remix for Dougal Fox on Ray of Light Records—featuring reinterpretations from none other than Hernan Cattaneo and Simply City—a single dropping in April on Univack, a May EP on Polyptych, a June EP on Freegrant Music, and a follow-up to their Inspired album arriving in July via Sound Avenue. Add to that an exciting collaboration with Ricky Ryan (aka Freedo Mosho) coming soon on Electronic Groove Records.

Their sound is making waves far beyond Australia. Collaborations and remixes with renowned artists like Stan Kolev, Alan Cerra, Kris Dur, Figueras, and Billion Watchers have further extended their reach, while their own tracks have been reimagined by the likes of Cary Crank, Rockka, Poli Suifi, Akiva, Peshta Gora, and After Burn—a reflection of both their versatility and growing impact.

With airplay on more than 72 international radio stations—from Frisky Radio in New York to Ibiza Global Radio and the UK’s Groove City Radio—Secretly Famous are becoming a staple in the global progressive house ecosystem. Regular features on respected mix shows like the Sound Avenue Mixed Series, 3rd Avenue Mixed Series, Encyclopedia Radioshow with LB & AR, Olga Misty’s Ocean Planet, Quarks and Quaaludes, Ottawa Prog Vibes, Variable Frequencies, and The Morning After on Proton Radio underscore their consistent presence on the radar of tastemakers and fans alike.

With an expanding catalogue of originals and remixes and a loyal, global listenership, Secretly Famous continue to explore new sonic territory while staying true to the essence of progressive house. Their sets, much like their journey, are a blend of introspective storytelling and forward-thinking production—balancing emotion with groove, and introspection with drive.

For this mix, expect an inspired collection of upcoming originals and recent favourites—carefully selected tracks that reflect both their artistry and the community that fuels their passion.

This week we travel back to the Caucasus and to the beautiful nation of Azerbaijan where our next guest, K9, is based. His passion for music since childhood led him to study the violin. Along with his interest in electronics and technology, Kenan also studied the technical aspects of music. 

After discovering electronic music, he began to try himself in the genres of ambient, progressive house and techno. His sets were met with great interest from listeners of both local and international radio stations. Over time, K9 developed his own style of mixing music, aiming to present listeners with a unique atmosphere and theme in each set. In each set, Kenan creates a soundscape that transcends time and space, combines different emotions and draws the listener into his world.

*New Digital EP* Insignia

Thomas + James are a DJ & production duo from Glasgow’s West End. Growing up surrounded by electronic music, they began experimenting with production apps at just 10 years young and mixing on decks by 13. Clubbing in Glasgow has nurtured, shaped and matured their sound, with the backdrop of world renowned clubs like Sub Club, The Berkeley Suite and La Cheetah where they have flourished over a year long residency.

Following an introduction by a well known native, it was obvious the duo's sound was highly aligned with Verdant Recordings, fusing deep house, dub techno and minimal grooves. For  a teenage duo, their sound is refined, seasoned and well informed.

Insignia EP drifts between hazy dub techno textures and stripped-back deep minimal house with a 'wee hours' dance floor focus. Patiently arranged tracks swell with warm low-ends, atmospheric pads and precision tuned percussion. Ulf & Ralf revise the title track in their unique and unpredictable fashion for a gentler comedown.

ABOUT OTTAWA PROG VIBES

Alain M.'s weekly podcast, Ottawa Prog Vibes, is now in its 7th year and is a recognized presence among Canadian Electronica shows. The show has two goals: showcase progressive DJ's from Ottawa (and Canada) to a global audience, and bring international DJ guests to an Ottawa (and Canadian) audience). 

Alain plays three out of every 10 shows. His mixing has been noted as particularly creative and smooth, a skill that allow his sets to be experienced as seamless stories.

An offshoot series, called Mellow Prog Vibes, is released every two weeks and focuses on more chill vibes, slightly more downtempo, to create a more relaxed vibe. It is curated by OPV resident DJ Boraa, who plays every other episode, with guest DJs playing the alternate.

Ottawa Prog Vibes and Mellow Prog Vibes are broadcast weekly on UK's Saturo Radio, New York's Chill Lover Radio and Ottawa's Blast the Radio.


ABOUT ALAIN M.

Alain M. started dj’ing in his early 20s and played a variety of clubs, big and small, in Ottawa, Montreal and Kingston. From teenage influences in progressive rock, metal and blues, and later New York and Chicago house, Dutch techno and early trance, his style has evolved towards the more melodic, infectiously rhythmic and thoughtful sounds of progressive house, with a particular fondness for Argentinian productions.

Over his 30+ years as a DJ, Alain has cultivated a signature melodic, danceable, and thoughtful style with enough surprises to keep even the most devout listeners on their toes. His live events, organized only a few times annually, are a hypotonic, transformational experience for attendees, putting the Nation’s Capital on the map for electronic music. He has organized and collaborated in a number of events including Levitar, Sunday Meet & Beat, Sit-Down Sessions, Shake my Thursday and Expeditions, attracting a thoughtful crowd who stay mesmerized by his melodic, danceable sets, always peppered with delightfully unexpected sonic elements.

Alain M. is also a guest DJ submitting regular sets to several radio and online outlets. He is a resident on X-Beat Radio (France, Belgium). He was a monthly resident on Abyss Sound Experience on QuestLondon Radio in 2021 and on UK-based Beach Radio between 2021 and 2024.

He has appeared as a guest on a number of shows in several countries including the UK, Argentina, Spain, Poland, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Peru, Turkey, Israel and the US. In Canada, he has been featured as a guest DJ at several events by Ottawa-based Music.Art.Ppl, on CHUO FM’s Vanguard Pulse Radio, on CKCU FM’s Lost In Bass and Mapped Out Radio, on Montreal’s Afterhour radio show and on Toronto’s ION radio show.
