One of my favourite mix CDs in the iconic Global Underground collection is, without a doubt, GU019 - John Digweed Los Angeles, released in 2001. Two decades later that mix hasn’t aged. I must’ve listened to it hundreds of times - and if you have too, you know exactly how it starts - with Pole Folder and CP’s hauntingly trippy track “Apollo Vibes”.

For this episode of Ottawa Prog Vibes, I reach way back into the crate and bring back the unreleased mix of “Apollo Vibes” - an 11-minute opus that epitomizes everything that is brilliant about good electronic music. If you remember this track, this one’s for you :)

As is the tradition every year, the last episode is devoted to my 10 best of the year. In a typical year, I will listen to about 8,000 tracks and play fewer than 600, less than 10 per cent, in my recorded or live sets. Of those 600, the 10 best are for me the ones that I either particularly liked for a variety of reasons, and/or those that got a huge reaction when played live in a gig. Some are from big names, others from lesser known or up-and-coming producers. What I care most about selecting my music is how it makes me feel and therefore what I think I can transmit to those who listen to me playing. 

Each of my top-10 has its own reason for being there, in some cases I like the buildup, in other cases the melody, in other cases the groove, in other cases how they set the table - they are simply my own faves.

Every year I make a mix with my top 10 and it is a different kind of set - the flow of the mix is fundamentally different since this is not a set that I built the same way - and my mixing style for some of the transitions, as you’ll notice, is also a bit different.

Here the are, in the order that I play them in this mix (but not in rank order)

Above & Beyond – Sun in Your Eyes (Spencer Brown Club Mix)
LOFAB – Mekong (Alberto Hernandez (MX) Remix)
Alberto Blanco – Multiverse (Tomek Remix)

PANORAMAXX invite ABSTRAAL 017

For our 91th episode we invited one of our friends who we met through our mutual buddy @ https://soundcloud.com/tanzgemeinschaft
⁠
⁠-l| KEEF LUV |l-⁠
⁠
Keith's been on our radar since we discovered his brilliant show called 'Deeep Luv' on https://soundcloud.com/ladolcerocca radiostation.⁠
⁠
His love for music began in his childhood years. Starting at ⁠
the age of 5 he felt  an emotional connection with music in general. From classical music to electronica and surprisingly Heavy Metal. At the start of his vocation he wrote, produced and belonged to a touring band. ⁠
⁠
Further in his career, and being identified as having a⁠
true musical talent and gift, he went on to produce for television, film and radio. ⁠
⁠
With a diverse taste in music he began his journey of fluid love of song and rhythm, a vigour which he has nurtured, grown within and is continuously evolving and expanding as music itself is becoming more demanding. Wanting to share his love of music and create a vision within his listener’s minds, hypnotising them in music. He pursued a personal style founded by a passion, devotion and to⁠ some degree a love affair. Finding harmony and peace in music and balancing life’s emotional roller coaster, he forged a connection with the euphoric, deep and melodic house genre.⁠
⁠
Not only did he create a personal mix of highly sensual and calming melodic house, followed by high voltage electro basslines and hypnotizing soundscapes, he also gave us the opportunity to remix his upcoming single 'Mystique', accompagnied by an amazing remix from https://soundcloud.com/carycrank !⁠
⁠
Release scheduled next month on https://soundcloud.com/tanzgemeinschaft

Adjust (BE) Invites #091 | KEEF LUV |

Overcome with joy to be able to re-present someone who's become a very close friend.

From the northern side of Holland, we're proud to present:
⁠
⁠-l| PASSENGER ABOVE |l-⁠
⁠
Robin's already been on our podcast last year, where he announced his comeback after a short break and delivered an amazing and powerful guestmix.

Since that moment we became very close friends, not only because we have shared visions and thoughts about techno music, the scene, the genuine support towards other artists, the emotions and passion behind the 'why we are dj's and producers', but also because Robin's is one of the few people we know who's so kind-hearted and supportive, selfless and ready to help in any way he can without asking anything in return... These are the types our scene desperately needs.

Besides the huge plans he's preparing for this year toghether with https://soundcloud.com/user-204513598 , he chose our podcast to introduce his new alias called 'Passenger Above'.
⁠
We couldn't be more proud and honored to be able to present him on his new adventure, where he's planning to go much deeper and more melodic into the most emotional sides of techno.
⁠
Keep a close eye on his socials, and especially tomorrow, but let's not spoil the surprise!
⁠
For today, for the first time, on our podcast, he prepared a beautiful and emotional journey with deep-house elements, melodical dazzling and hovering soundscapes, rhythmical tech-house features and surprisingly powerful techno drums!

A sublime selection of tracks...

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.
