JFUN is the DJ/production project of Jordan David. His musical output combines funky rhythms and four on the floor beats that create a moving celebration of sound while playing a wide range of sonic soundscapes that resonate with the human soul.

JFUN has established a name for himself in his hometown Ottawa, Canada as a DJ, producer, performer, curator and general force of nature that displays a consistent growth and musical evolution. As both a DJ and a musician, JFUN has developed a unique sound, style and connection to the groove over many years of performing in DIY spaces, night clubs, galleries and festival stages. Sharing bills with international acts such as DJ Sneak, Niko Schwind, Djuma Soundsystem, Ollie K and local heavyweights such as Trevor Walker, Rick Laplante, BALU, Martin Villeneuve, Blake Sutherland, The TIMEKODE Crew, Jesse Zotti, Return of the Jaded and Rise Ashen just to name a few.

JFUN has embraced his ability to transfer a refined melodic and rhythmic perspective that captivates listeners and also lights up a dance floor. He has also managed to cultivate a path for his artistic expression that is taking form as he progresses on his musical journey. This being the result of a deep passion and love for dance music culture and community that is undeniable.

JFUN is currently focused producing his debut premiere mix series, ‘DIVISION’ which features a range of dance music from producers from around the world. He is also spending much time in his home studio exploring and crafting new sounds while also curating upcoming releases on his imprint: Music.Art.Ppl, a music, art and poetry label / collective that he co-founded alongside creative peers in Ottawa, Canada.

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.
