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.

Canadian production-whizz Eddie Edwardson, better known by his ED.E moniker has been rumbling on the underground for a while now with a steady stream of sturdy productions that have passed through a number of emerging labels and quality imprints. His refined sound this month passes through 3xA Music for the release of the two-tracker EP ‘Prophecy’ in which Ed.E puts a stamp on the backend of 2019 in his usual fine form.

Kicking off the EP is ‘Outrageous’, a 122BPM sub bass showcase that harks back to classic Minimal percussive tendencies with a thunderous low end power surge that derives from a medley of earthy kick drums and sub-bass synths that engulfs the subwoofers like a black hole. The sprawling synths creep and crawl over the drums and bass providing a sense of contrast from the heavy bass before a break gives pause to the sub-content before slamming back into the main-body which mechanically bounces through a hypnotic arrangement.

The title track ‘Prophecy’ adds extra dimensions of organic claps and sultry reverberations on the melodic synths to create drama and tension over the lower end synths. There’s more high frequency rhythm via hi hats and percussive elements in this track and the melodic content through the mids and lows are more prominent than the previous track. A broken, mutated square wave lead fills out the breaks and fire discordant notes into a glitchy melody that rips back into the main body where it all comes together for the payoff.

It’s another classy EP from a producer that is earning respect with peers and becoming a reliable source of quality releases that are equal parts dancefloor ready and perfect for the headphones for the full spectrum experience. 2023
looks good for Eddie as he moves into the next decade with plenty more music to come down the pipeline.
