Our guest this week is someone very special to our city. Blake Sutherland has blazed the trail in Ottawa for progressive and melodic electronica, a trail we now get to walk with the ease of knowing that our collective taste buds for this music have benefitted from his relentless and passionate work to cultivate and expand them. 

Blake Sutherland has been at the forefront of melodic dance music for over two decades. As founder of Wide Angle Recordings, he has introduced original music from some of scene's most innovative artists, including Max Cooper, Gab Rhome, Deepfunk, Cid Inc, Antrim, and Pole Folder. 

Blake's seminal podcast Cityscape Sessions served as a platform for cutting edge progressive mixes for over 10 years, eventually giving rise to an event series of the same name in his hometown of Ottawa, Canada. Under his direction, Cityscape Sessions ushered in a number of highly influential mixes and played host to some of the biggest melodic dance music names in the world, including Jeremy Olander, Eelke Kleijn, and John 00 Fleming. 

As a DJ, Blake Sutherland's passion for his craft has taken him around the world, with appearances in Canada, the United States, Germany, Netherlands, the UK, and Australia.

This is an exclusive mix by the man himself for Ottawa Prog Vibes, for which we are grateful. Enjoy!

Abstraal is a French duo with a shamanic sound. They cook up the sort of absorbing grooves that get you moving and always stir up a storm on the dance floor. Based in Lyon, Tutti & Castelz have been combing their powers for a couple of years now, but have ten years of friendship to draw on when casting their musical spells on dance floors all over Germany, Spain, France, England and Denmark.

“We are born from the elastic union of astral scientists in a secret lab” they say of how they cook up their otherworldly sounds: always with afro tinges, melodic synths and an ethnic feel, their music is never too dark and always designed for dancing late into the night. It has come on labels like Natura Viva Music, the vital Family Piknik Music and Click Records, with high profile supporters like Laurent Garnier, Black Coffee, Township Rebellion, Anna, Ida Engberg, Shall Ocin, James Zabiella all dropping & supporting Abstraal tunes in their sets.

Despite being a relatively new duo, this pair made an immediate mark: they have already had Top 20 hits on the Beatport Melodic House & Techno Chart with "Massalia" and a Top 20 Afro Track with "The Ancient One", as well dropping a big free edit of Kavinsky’s ‘Nightcall’ which also picked up plenty of plays.

Beyond DJing and producing, Abstraal are dictating trends in dance music in many other ways. "Based on Real Facts" is their monthly radio show on Datatransmisison and has seen them host guests like Glowal, Phunkadelica, Citizen Kain, Space Motion, Ivan Masa and more. As well as this, they run their own cult and pivotal parties in Lyon under the XLR Events banner and have done for seven years now. As such, Abstraal are deeply involved in dance music, shaping it in their own unique way and making a lasting impression with whatever they do.

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.
