We are thrilled to return to Argentina for our next guest, Rocío Portillo, a DJ, journalist and producer from the beautiful city of Mendoza.

Her passion for music was awakened at a very young age, having grown up in an extended family of artists. Through the influence of various styles of music, she learned to express herself with various instruments and by singing. Her love for electronic music grew when she started attending festivals and clubs at the age of 17. As she supported the electronic scene locally, nationally and internationally, she delved into the world of DJ’ing and production.

Rocío’s sound revolves around progressive house, deep house and techno, always with a big melodic imprint and always with a strong sense of groove. Her influences are DJ’s like Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha, Nick Warren, John Digweed and Lee Burridge, among others.

Her career has taken her to play gigs in various clubs, sharing decks with several DJ’s and producers from Mendoza and providing warm-up sets for big artists like Danny Howells and Emi Galvan.

During the COVID lockdowns, she was part of several high-profile streams alongside notable artists like Alex Orion, Kamilo Sanclemente, Dabeat, Emi Galvan, Julian Nates, Anton Make and Alejo Gonzalez. The COVID confinement was at the root of the Orígenes Festival and other events put on by Prod Community, which staged several national DJ’s and producers.

Rocío has been active on podcasts and radio shows, issuing monthly sets for over two years on Sonido Selecto 102.9 FM La Plata and on Nube Music Radio. She was one of the few selected by Desert In Me’s National DJ Contest, whose jury includes Nick Warren, Interaxxis and Nicolas Rada. In terms of musical production she recently received support from Hernan Cattaneo (Resident 504) for her latest release on Nube Music.

She is a cultural reporter, working for the Grupo America Multimedia’s Radio Nihuil 98.9 and forms part of the Pulso Beat program, broadcast by Radio Botellón, which is entirely devoted to electronic music.

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.

Agustín Lupidi is an Argentinian DJ and producer from Villa Maria, Córdoba.
Since childhood he always liked electronic music. But also many other genres that has
nothing to do with it.
When he grew up, Agustin started digging and exploring into different styles of House and
Techno until casually discovered Progressive House and instantly knew that it was what
he wanted to do. At that time he began to be increasingly interested in the process of
creating and playing music. This led him to explore various production and mixing
software, first as a game starting with FL Studio and Traktor, until over time he found his
favorite place in Ableton Live.
As soon as he started to play music his tastes were forged and influenced by electronic
artists like Guy J, Henry Saiz, Khen and Hernán Cattaneo. Also had inspiration from Daft
Punk, Depeche Mode, Gustavo Cerati, Alberto Spinetta, Tame Impala, Coldplay and some
Argentinian indie / funk / hip hop artists.
In his productions Agustin delivers energic basslines combined with catchy melodies
and groovy percussions. So far he released his music in labels like Balkan Connection,
Génesis Music,Suffused, Stellar Fountain, BCSA and Nube Music.
In his brief career he supported artists like Stas Drive, Li-Polymer, Interaxxis, Alejo
Gonzalez, Guhus, Berni Turletti, Fernando Ferreyra, Santiago Teillagorry, Luis Bondio,
Ezequiel Arias, Artfaq among others. Also has been supported by Hernan Cattaneo and
Nick Warren.

RIZA music

My name is Amiran, and my project is called "RIZA music", it incorporates such areas of electronic music as Breaks, Trip-hop, Abstract Hip-hop, Dub, Dubstep, Сhillstep, Trap, IDM, Experimental, Ambient (and also elements of other styles…) I am engaged in electronic music as part of the "RIZA music" project in 2008 and during this time a lot of very diverse material has accumulated, some of which is currently distributed over albums... Perhaps the main difference of my project is that I try to write music free from any external stamps, strict genre frameworks, combining in it, at first glance, incompatible sounds and instruments, genres and styles, emotions and states... Peace be with you people...

Music is to the soul what words are to the mind.
