This week we have the pleasure of presenting one of Argentina’s great progressive DJ/producers, Niceshot.

Jonatan was born in 1988 and felt a passion for music from an early age. He played various instruments, composed and studied music and was in several bands in his school and neighbourhood.

As time passed, his tastes tipped toward electronic music and that’s when his interest in selecting and mixing was born. He took his first steps as a DJ by playing for private events and parties. Shortly after, he became interested in musical creation and production, always seeking a particular and personal sound. This is how he started his full-time career as a DJ and producer.

In Niceshot’s productions you will recognize potent basslines paired with delicate melodies which, alongside their percussive foundation, convey a warmth that is very much intertwined with his musical signature. His production work quickly reached the radar of progressive’s biggest names and, of course, a prominent place in his country’s scene and at clubs and events all across the world.

He currently enjoys the support of some of the biggest names in the global prog scene, including Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Guy J., Khen, Guy Mantzur, Eelke Kleijn, Nick Varon, Tony Mcguiness (Above & Beyond), Mariano Mellino, Nicolas Rada, Marcelo Vasami, DJ Ruby and others.

This exclusive mix for OPV listeners includes an unreleased track to start the set.

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.
