MADISON is an up-and-coming local DJ based in Ottawa. Her love for music began at an early age and flourished playing classical violin for over a decade. Today this translates into her curated sets, as she pays attention to the abstract layers of musical meaning within each carefully selected track.

Moved by sexy basslines, emotional melodies and the inherent polarities of human emotion, MADISON likes to explore the deep, moody and ethereal sounds of house music, sprinkled with a dash of funk.

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.

As a resident DJ of Ottawa Prog Vibes based in Ottawa, Canada, Steve plays at several of the city’s best venues and has shared the decks with some of the world’s finest Progressive House DJs and producers.

Steve has been listening to electronic music since the 1990's - sucked in by the hard sounds of early rave, and the euphoric sounds of trance. These sounds still permeate through on the tracks he selects and listens to today.

From uplifting and groovy organic house to the deeper side of Progressive sounds, Steve’s sets flow through lush atmospheres, hypnotic grooves, and driving rhythms. It’s all about emotion, connection, and energy.

Jay Function weaves sound into space, crafting unique sets and productions that challenge convention and explore rhythm, energy, and emotion. His work, shaped by a dynamic mix of influences and interactions with people and places, bridges the pulse of dance culture with a forward-thinking approach that pushes boundaries and discovers new textures.

Having honed his craft in DIY venues, as a resident in club spaces, festivals, and community radio, Jay brings a depth of understanding to every performance. Inspired by pioneers like David Mancuso and Larry Levan, he sees music as more than just sound—it's an experience, a connection, and a powerful force that transcends the moment.

As he shifts focus toward releasing bold and original work, his journey remains unpredictable, shaped by instinct rather than expectation. The destination? Only time will tell.

MADISON is a rising force in Ottawa’s house music scene, proving she knows exactly how to make bodies move and booties shake on any dancefloor. She regularly performs at top venues like City at Night, Gridwrks and 27 Club, sharing stages with renowned artists such as Pleasurekraft, Shay De Castro, Green Velvet, Sydney Blu and Return of the Jaded. Last summer, she made her debut on the festival circuit bringing high-energy sets to Camp Summerdaze and Front Republic Music Festival, and recently opened Riverside Festival ahead of Tiësto with ALAMUSIC.

Blending brooding basslines with ethereal, spacey melodies, MADISON likes to get deep, dark and dirty, and lost in the groove. With every set, MADISON hopes to inspire a sonic exploration of the human condition, encouraging listeners to find catharsis, connection, and an undying spirit of rebellion.
