This week we return to Chile to welcome @armanguerrero, a veteran of the scene in that country’s second city, Valparaiso. 

Armando Guerrero is an Argentinian DJ/producer whose first productions were in drum & bass but whose musical journey landed him in the sphere of progressive house. His first prog EP, “Closed Circle”, came out in 2014.

His sound keeps evolving and enjoys the support of DJ’s such as Hernán Cattaneo, Soundexile, Fernando Ferreyra, Nick Varon, Cream among others. He has played mixes on Frisky and Proton.

His mixing is utterly rhythmic, harmonic and experimental, and his unique touch has led him to be sought out for EP’s and remixes on labels from around the world such as Massive Harmony, Stellar Fountain, Balkan Connection, BC2 Records, AH Digital, Balkan Connection South America, Spring Tube Label, Nube Music, Estribo, Mystic Carousel. 

Armando currently lives in Viña del Mar, in the Valparaiso metro area (Chile’s second city), and plays live events at various locations and events in the area including Antuset Arrayan Sunsets, Club Aruma, Terraza Mimi, Terraza Bellavista, Club Oasis, Sunstrip, and others.

He’s considered to be a versatile DJ that knows how to adapt to his audiences; his style is best described as Progressive Tribal Techno.

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.

Retired DJ was spinning the progressive house/trance of the mid to late 90s early 2000s aka heavily influenced by Sasha/Digweed. Currently listening to Sound cloud mixes mostly progressive & deep house,  and occasionally lighter melodic techno. I seldom listen to a mix more than once and keep exploring what is new. Post only various mixes that really stand out to me in one way or another. Thanks for reading this ☮️!

DJ Juls, born and raised in Colombia, now based in Montreal, started to dive into music since 2017. From then, I’ve been working a lot of time in my mixing techniques and collecting music that captivates me with progressive and deep sounds; always accompanied by a beautiful melody that envelopes us. I actively collaborate with local collectives and parties within the city of Montreal and it's surroundings.

Experimenting and playing are key for a DJ set from Juls, he will make you feel the progression through your body and not want to stop dancing.
