This week Ottawa Prog Vibes Resident Steve Finney brings us a selection of mellow progressive tunes designed to ease you into a weekend. Sit back, relax and enjoy!

Steve has been listening to electronic music since the 1990's - sucked in by the hard sounds of early rave, and the euphoric sounds of trance. These sounds still permeate through on the tracks he selects and listens to today.

As a resident of Ottawa Prog Vibes based in Ottawa, Canada, Steve has played at several of the city’s best venues and shared the decks with some of the world’s finest Progressive House DJs and producers.

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.

Mati Vaira is an Argentinian DJ and producer based in Australia, with over a decade of experience in the electronic music scene. His musical journey began in his teenage years, deeply influenced by trance music — a passion that influenced the development of his signature sound.

Over time, his style evolved into a melodic journey through progressive, deep, and organic house elements, characterized by hypnotic grooves and immersive atmospheres. Known for his ability to blend genres seamlessly, his sets deliver experiences that resonate deeply with the audience.

As a producer, he has earned support from industry heavyweights such as Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Eelke Kleijn, Guy Mantzur, Mariano Mellino, DJ Ruby, Gai Barone and more.

He has performed at some of the most iconic venues in Sydney, including Carrousel, Civic Underground, and Oxford Underground, and his music has taken him to travel to places like Byron Bay, Melbourne, and Noosa Heads, solidifying his presence across Australia and beyond.
