02. Will Daley - Currents (Original Mix) [Big Bells Records]

Big Bells Records continues its mission of delivering forward-thinking underground sounds with Mobius, the new EP from Chicago-based producer Will Daley. Known for his deeply emotive approach to Progressive and Deep House, Daley has built an impressive catalog with releases on respected imprints such as Balkan Connection, Kitchen Recordings, and Future Avenue. With Mobius, he brings his signature touch of atmosphere and groove to the label, offering a two-track journey that is as introspective as it is dancefloor-ready.

Both songs "Mobius" and "Currents" immediately set the tone with a hypnotic drive, weaving evolving layers of synth textures over a steady, pulsating rhythm. The progression feels infinite, reflecting the track's namesake, as shimmering melodies rise and dissolve in seamless cycles. This is a cut that balances depth with forward momentum, perfect for late-night sets where subtle energy and emotional resonance take center stage.

With Mobius, Will Daley further cements his reputation as a producer who can seamlessly merge storytelling, emotion, and rhythm. This EP is a testament to his craft—music that invites listeners to get lost in its layers while keeping DJs equipped with versatile tracks for deep, melodic, and progressive moments.

Big Bells Records adds another gem to its catalog, and Mobius is set to resonate strongly with fans of quality Progressive House worldwide.

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.
