Luca is a talented DJ and producer originating from the vibrant city of Rosario, Argentina. His passion for music was ignited at a young age when he discovered the captivating sounds of bands like The Prodigy, Underworld, Depeche Mode, and The Chemical Brothers. These early influences laid the groundwork for his quest to create hypnotic sounds and immersive landscapes during his formative years.

As Luca's musical journey progressed, he found himself profoundly influenced by the masters of Progressive House, including Hernán Cattaneo, Sasha, John Digweed, and Nick Warren. Their artistry inspired Luca to view his DJ sets as cinematic experiences, carefully crafting narratives with peaks, valleys, and breathtaking soundscapes.

With his unique musical style, Luca has garnered recognition and support from renowned figures in the international scene, such as Ruben Karapetyan,DJ Ruby,Gai Barone and Andrea Cassino, among many others. His original productions have found a home on esteemed underground progressive house labels, including Mango Alley,RKP, Soundteller, Droid9, and AH Digital, to name just a few.

Luca's dedication to his craft and his unwavering passion for mesmerizing soundscapes continue to captivate audiences, making him a rising force in the world of underground electronic music. Delving further into the depths of sonic experimentation, Luca distinguishes himself with a penchant for dark and distorted sounds. His compositions are a daring exploration of the unconventional, where brooding atmospheres and distorted textures intertwine to create a sonic landscape that pushes the boundaries of the underground scene.

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.
