For our first episode of 2022 we are proud to present, in what could become an annual tradition, an exclusive set by the current champion of the World Series of Progressive Sets, a global contest organized every year by with Progressive en España. The 2021 contest featured 46 contestants from 11 countries (including Canada).

The 2021 champion was LEX-NDR from Italy. Born in 1979, discovered his passion for electronic music at childhood, and moved to London at a young age to explore its music scene. Working in clubs and enjoying going out to the best parties he started with house music at first, then trance, while clubbing and organizing parties.

After many years spent “studying” the London club scene, he moved to Palma de Mallorca to enjoy a quieter lifestyle. That is where he met Kobah, DJ & producer, who became not just his best friend but also his teacher in everything that has to do with music. Thanks to Kobah, he started playing and mixing and slowly changed his musical taste to progressive and more underground music. After several years of endless back-to-back sessions and late-night classes, the best is yet to come!

This exclusive set is in fact a B2B with his mentor, Kobah. Born Santiago Ivan Lopez in 1984, Kobah is an Argentine DJ. His interest in electronic music dates back to his adolescence, mainly by listening to progressive and techno music. Back in 2004, DJ’ing became part of his deepest nature and his passion became his obsession; first, by playing in private parties, and then more and more often in bars and clubs all over Argentina.

This set is a pure flow of musical honey, delicious in its melodic discipline, technically flawless, delicate yet very deliberate in its build-up, a real work of progressive elegance.

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.

Retired DJ was spinning the progressive house/trance of the mid to late 90s early 2000s aka heavily influenced by Sasha/Digweed. Currently listening to Sound cloud mixes mostly progressive & deep house,  and occasionally lighter melodic techno. I seldom listen to a mix more than once and keep exploring what is new. Post only various mixes that really stand out to me in one way or another. Thanks for reading this ☮️!
