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.

Eddy Tango – A Visionary in Electronic Music

Eddy Tango’s journey in the electronic music scene began in 1995, when he first took to the decks as a DJ in his hometown of Augsburg, Germany. His passion for music led him to open LOUDstärke, a record store that quickly became a hub for local music enthusiasts. Through this platform, he not only sold records but also played a pivotal role in promoting and booking renowned artists. Over the years, Eddy became known for organizing events with iconic figures such as the Cocoon Artists, the Electric Kingdom Tour, and internationally recognized DJs like Cari Lekebusch, Adam Beyer, and Gayle San.

After a successful run in the record store business and event promotion, Eddy Tango turned his focus to music production. In the early 2000s, he founded the vorLOUD Studios and launched his own techno label, Schallmauer Records. Distributed by Discomania, the label gained attention with several successful releases, including five standout EPs, featuring collaborations with renowned artists such as Michael Burkat and Lars Klein.

In addition to his work in techno, Eddy recognized a growing need for a new platform in the house music scene. This led to the creation of Bikini Records, a label that blends house, progressive house, and tech house genres. The label was born out of a creative partnership with fellow DJ-producers Franky Gee and Eddy Tango, who shared a vision of turning their passion for music into a thriving business. Bikini Records quickly became synonymous with high-quality, forward-thinking house music and gained a loyal following.

Over the years, Eddy’s sound has evolved, and in recent times, he has honed his focus on Melodic Techno, Progressive House, and Organic House. His tracks are now regularly featured in the top 100 and hype charts of major electronic music distribution platforms, earning him global recognition. His music continues to inspire and resonate with fans around the world.

With a career built on dedication, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to the craft, Eddy Tango has become an influential figure in the electronic music landscape. His personal mantra, “Be Grateful for Every Day Given to You”, serves as both a reminder of his journey and a guiding principle in his artistic and professional endeavors.
