It’s with great pleasure that we welcome Marc Denuit to this week’s show. Marc is one of Belgium’s legendary DJ’s, a talented producer and also the programming manager of XBeat Radio.

Known for many years in his home country as Goldfinger, Marc started in 1981 in radio shows. Spotted by club bosses, the beautiful adventure began. His career started in New Wave, followed by the big boom of New Beat. His main influences come from New Wave and Acid House in the 1980's.

His first residency at La Forge and Calypso for 5 years was the springboard to the legendary Mackenzie Label and Mackenzie / Heaven Club, where he was resident for 14 years next to Pat Mackenzie and Jean-Pierre Fasseau. During those years he rubbed elbows with Eric Powa B, Phi Phi, Franky Jones, Kevin Jee, Marko la Rocca, Yuri, Ghost, Hs, Cp, George’s, Top Laurent, Franky Jones, Frank Zolex, Rudy Mad Club …

For the next three decades, Marc (as Goldfinger) was resident and guest DJ at numerous clubs and events, playing retro house, acid and trance retro. In 2017 he returned to progressive house under his real name, Marc Denuit. He has played alongside Roger Martinez (Sudbeat Records, Lost & Found) and with Navar (Lost & Found) in Paris for Connexion. His collaborations on the progressive house scene in residence on XBeat radio have seen him play with names like Emi Galvan, Luciano Scheffer, Roger Martinez, Madloch, Alex Efe, GMJ & Matter, Kamilo Sanclemente, Chris Cargo, Elliot Moriarty, Gadi Mitrani and many more.

Marc is also a respected producer, both on his own and with Mad Gregor as part of the duo known as Innerphonic. He has releases on labels such as Faraway Scope, 3rd Avenue, Forward Music, Massive Harmony, 2022 SLC6-Music, Bonzai Progressive, AH Digital & Creatus Flow.

We are thrilled to welcome Marc to OPV for an exclusive guest mix this week.

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.
