Ottawa Prog Vibes 201 - Amber Long (Toronto, Canada)

We welcome Yahra for the fiftieth edition of the 'Deep In Mix' series. Hailing from Bengaluru, India, he is currently based in Phoenix, Arizona. Yahra's love for electronic music began in the early 2000s when he discovered trance music through Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, and Ferry Corsten. Over the years, he explored different sub-genres and eventually found himself drawn to the deeper and more melodic realm of electronic music.

Yahra's preferred genre is Organic House, though he usually plays groove-heavy progressive house to energize dance floors at nightclubs and festivals. His love for traveling to picturesque locations worldwide inspires his distinctive and personalized music productions. Yahra's music has gained momentum since his top 8 remix on Anjunadeep’s remix competition in early 2021, his journey has since led him to release well-received records on established imprints such as 3rd Avenue, Flug Lab, The Purr, all while receiving support from multiple international artists.

Yahra's DJ sets are renowned for their uniqueness, as he delves into extensive music catalogs to offer his audiences a fresh perspective on the dance floor. He has performed as a supporting act for world-renowned names like Andrew Bayer, Booka Shade, Jody Wisternoff, Luttrell, Two Lanes, Qrion and many more. Yahra reminisces about his favourite event when he supported Kora at Tru Ultra Lounge in Phoenix, describing this unforgettable experience as a mind-blowing one, thanks to the incredible energy in the room that left a lasting impression on him. Despite having played several shows since then, it remains a cherished memory that he will undoubtedly carry with him for a long time to come. He has always looked up to artists like Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Lee Burridge, Sebastien Leger, and Guy J, to name a few, whose remarkable contributions to the electronic music scene have undoubtedly inspired Yahra's artistic pursuits. 

Yahra plans to keep building momentum in 2023 and elevate his career trajectory as an artist. He has recently unveiled his very first EP 'Lightly' on 3rd Avenue featuring two tracks which are a fine act of his sonic wizardry. He has many upcoming releases and numerous live performances, to display his musical genius and leave a lasting impression on the electronic music community. "With mixes, I always try to keep the music light. I want people to throw my mix on while they're working, driving, running, relaxing at the beach/park etc., and that is exactly what I've tried to create with this mix as well. I hope everyone enjoys it and thank you for inviting me :)", he shares.

Her music style is very melodic and deeply sensitive from progressive house, deep house, organic, oriental, classics, to melodic 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.
