We are starting the new year with a very special guest.

Jordi Giménez was born in Barcelona and currently lives in Sitges. His DJ experience goes back to 1994 and he immediately came under the influence of the sounds that defined Eastern Spain in those days.
Throughout his journey, Jordi has experimented with a wide range of genres. He dabbled with the “harder” sounds of the mid- to late-90’s, then evolved through trance, techno and tech house before arriving at today’s progressive sounds. The style that most influenced him was early 2000’s trance.

In addition to his long track record as a DJ, Jordi was also a key collaborator in one of the most prestigious electronic music radio shows out of Valencia, MDT (La Máquina del Tiempo). His sets were broadcast all across Spain multiple times.

Jordi’s style is instantly recognizable. When creating and mixing a set, his dynamic transitions, fader play and blend of genres and styles to create stories and musical narratives all combine into a unique signature sound.

More recently, Jordi won the 2020 World Championship of Progressive House DJ’s, which has raised his global visibility.

He currently plays in the broader range of progressive house and melodic techno. His sessions leave no one indifferent. This one he prepared for Ottawa Prog Vibes is a memorable one, check it out.

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.

Si consideramos al ser humano como un androide diseñado por alguna entidad superior (no lo descarto), podría decirse, con cierta confianza, que yo podría ser un robot. Siendo así, todos lo seríamos; nosotros y todo el código extraño que deambula por aqui.
Sirok is a historic village in Heves county in Hungary. In addition, SIROK is my last name (Alfredo Sirok) and, probably my forbears were fighting some battle between these castles. I don't know.
I'm an Uruguayan musician and composer. I play the drums, keyboards and  synthesizers.
The style relates with the electronic genera, more exactly, with house, synthwave, electro, space, progressive, synth and pop-rock.
I hope that you enjoy the music of the same way as I enjoyed on having done it.
Sincerely.

SIROK.

His interest for the music world begun when he was a very small child, showing good sensibility and musical taste, with a sonorous perception of universal quality.
Nevertheless, it was in his adolescence when he began to study drums.
During his path he penetrated into diverse interpretive styles but never restricted to the merely interpretive thing. He took part in the rhythmic and harmonic arrangements; choirs and voices.
Today, Alfredo is an electronic music composer (in a wide sense), so as a drummer as by playing, making, composing and programming music with synthesizers.
"Spaceghost" (2006), "Experimentation" (2008), "Event horizon" (2013), "Opium of the people" (2017), "La Vida" (2020), "Retrospective - 15 Years (Light and Dark - 2021)" and "Fauna" (2025) are his Independently produced albums of original Electronic music in his home studio.
In addition, he takes part as co-author in such projects as " 4 Seasons" (2008) and "Solar system" (2009), together with the Uruguayan composer Marcelo Sartorio shaping the group in silico DUO;  in 2 collection albums of electronic music with various artist called "Planicie - Sincronía del Viento" (2018) and "Sequences Podcast No68" (2017) and as a producer with such artists as HMFR and Ted Rivera.
SIROK needs your help as a fan, financially or through a media opportunity, to project his music as an ultimate lifestyle.
