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.

Gyermekkorom óta szeretem a zenét, az elektronikus zene az ezredforduló környékén kapott el, fókuszban a magyarországi dance és house mellet érkeztek a külföldi előadók is a repertoárba, tizen egypár évesen  magyar oldalról már Náksi & Brunner, Dj Budai, Dj Szeifert, külföldről kezdődően Darude, Mauro Picotto, majd Dj Tiesto, Nick Warren, Sasha, Jody Wisternoff voltak az elsők, majd évről évre bővült a repertoár, az akkori house és trance vonalán.
A kétezres évek elején  nagyon sok új előadót és műfajt ismertem meg és elemeztem, mondhatni útkeresés volt, ebbe bekapcsolódott a klub életből merített tapasztalat, de egy darabig csak sodródtam az árral, egészen 2008-ig., mikor is részt vettem a siófoki Flört the Club Halloween buliján, ahol Victor Calderone volt sztárvendég. Innentől kezdve kezdett kirajzolódni a house iránti szorosabb kötődés, ami 2014-ben teljesedett ki amikor Hernan Cattaneo-t hallottam a budapesti Hyperspace-en zenélni. 
Innentől kezdve a progresszív house átvette az uralmat ami a mai napig magával ragad, inspirál, és tanít. 

2021-be kezdtem foglalkozni a zenéléssel mint Dj, előszőr otthon majd szűkebb körökben, barátokkal.

Immáron a második éve kapok lehetőséget a Prime Fm égisze alatt futó Prime Fm & Friends nevű esemény sorozatnak, ami  tavasztól egészen kora őszig biztosít lehetőséget feltörekvő és tapasztalt Dj-knek Dunakeszin, a festői Duna parton elhelyezkedő Mi a Kavics  bisztró tetőteraszán.
Pár alkalommal a budapesti Nehru parton található Pavilonba is volt szerencsém zenélni afterpartyk alkalmából, valamint a Margit szigeti Kristály színtéren egy nagy szabású baráti évzáró eseményen. 
Legutóbb a balassagyarmati Liget Terasz-on vendégeskedtem egy szezon záró est keretében.

Az uralkodó hangzásvilág Argentínából érkezik, de nyitott vagyok minden új irányra és előadóra a műfajhoz kötődően, hiszen ez egy never ending story.. 🔊🎶🎧🔥
