Tommy Veanud, Kinky Sound and Kniagna hook up on Technoblazer for new single You Are Good while MODBIT remixes.

Veanud mixes up Afro and organic house and has for 15 years labels like Sarcasm, Exx Muzik and many more, all while playing across the world. Kniagna releases authentic melodic techno on this label as well as Bunny Tiger, and Kinky Sound is another melodic innovator with credits on Wired and Bunny Tiger amongst many more.

Their single You Are Good is a deep cut rhythm peppered with prance percussion while a dark vocal loop brings the intensity and fizzing synths light up the beats. It's a tribal gem for the club. Remixer MODBIT is a duo of experienced sound producers who repeatedly make it to the Top 100 on Beatport. Their version is paired back to a pulsing bassline and has more slick future synths building the tension.

This is another forward thinking package from Technoblazer.

PREMIERE | Tommy Veanud, Kinky Sound, Kniagna - You Are Good (MODBIT Remix) [Technoblazer]

With his distinct blend of emotional depth and club-ready precision, Stefan Rose is quickly carving out a name for himself in the global electronic scene. The rising producer returns with This Feeling EP, a two-track release on Frequenza, the label helmed by Nihil Young, that highlights his evolving sound across melodic and darker sonic textures. Featuring the entrancing vocals of Sophie Joe, whom Stefan met during a gig in East London, the title track delivers a stirring peak-time moment, while the B-side cut ‘Tusk’ leans into powerful percussion and immersive atmospheres. 

Having already topped charts with his debut on Dear Deer and holding a radio residency at Bloop London, Stefan continues to bridge the energy of the dancefloor with a cinematic edge, cementing his status as one of Melodic Techno’s most compelling new talents.

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.
