Polish producer @gregochman has had an impressive run of releases for top labels such as Lost Miracle and Radiant and his upcoming releases continue with the same standard of quality. We were seduced by his remix of “More Willpower” on @musiquedelune and had to invite him to the show.

Hailing from Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, near Krákow in Poland, Grzegorz Ochman (aka Greg Ochman) has found himself touted as one of the next big things in the all-conquering world Organic House scene. He has become one of the most demanded DJ’s in his native Poland, and he has his sights set taking on the rest of the world.

Greg is a candid colourful, mysterious Organic House dreamer that exudes freshness, crafted with style and a love for music making. We are delighted to welcome him for an exclusive set.

Mellow Prog Vibes

Mellow Prog Vibes 36

Solis Occasum - Latin for "setting of the sun" or "sunset".

Living in the moment where the last embers of daylight fade beyond the horizon.  A tapestry of vibrant colours streak across the sky before the impending onset of darkness.  The space between day and night, where the structure and security of the sun gives way to a different energy, one that pulsates with an almost rhythmic, hypnotic calling.  The anticipation for what awaits is, almost palpable.

It's an experience as music enthusiasts we have all shared in some form or another, together, unconsciously.  We must make sure we, as a collective continue to collaborate, discuss and celebrate everything that music brings into our lives.

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.

Runik doesn't believe in barriers between music genres, just in good music.

Music is the greatest of bridges, linking all manner of human experience across the ocean of our differences. 
.
Music is the language of my thoughts, filling my consciousness with endless treasures and perspective. It is through the microcosmic lessons of playing music that I am able to relate to and understand the macrocosmic score of life. For as it is in music, so too in everything else.
