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.

I was born, grew up and still living in Valencia, a city next to the Mediterranean in Spain. Its light, heat and its sea have permeated my skin since ever. Before learning to read I liked to play melodies with my toy piano or my guitar. I grew up in the 80's in love with the new age of music. First with bands like Pink Floyd, ELO, Bauhaus, Joy Division. After I was witness of the newborn electronic music explosion, the arrival of the synthesizers, enjoying with Jean Michel Jarre, New Order, Depeche Mode, Visage. From other bands like The Cure, Simple Minds, The Smiths, and so many others. And more underground music like Ann Clark, Propaganda, that starting German techno that was breaking through and fascinated me. But I have never stayed in a epoch. Each new decade has given me new proposals, some darker years but others full of fresh ideas. No time was better. That's my motto. I still enjoy more every day. Now, I feel very influenced by the melodic techno and progressive. People like Jeremy Olander, Cid Inc, Khen, Guy J, Cristoph, Dmitry Molosh ... and more. 

Therefore, one day, a few years ago, I decided that it was time to be part of this fantastic world that is the music. Technology has advanced enough to allow a passionate about non-professional musician will take all his creativity outside. And here I am. My city has a peculiar philosophy, different from other Spain cities. When winter ends, people burns everything old and explodes between fire and noise, color, music and flowers, reborning in a new spring. The essence of fire, the rebirth of the ashes like a Phoenix carried it in my blood. And all of it permeates my work. Make me who I am. And it enlightens me in this new way of my life. Music is the answer.

Naci, crecí y sigo viviendo en Valencia, una ciudad junto al Mediterráneo en España. Su luz, su calor y su mar han impregnado mi piel desde siempre. Antes de empezar a leer me gustaba tocar melodías con mi piano de juguete o mi guitarra. Crecí en los 80 enamorado de la nueva era de la música. Primero con grupos como Pink Floyd, ELO, Bauhaus, Joy Division. Luego fuí testigo de la explosión de la recién nacida música electrónica, de la llegada de los sintetizadores y disfruté con Jean Michel Jarre, New Order, Depeche Mode, Visage. De grupos como The Cure, Simple Minds, The Smiths, y tantos otros. Música más underground como Ann Clark, Propaganda, ese techno alemán inicial que se abría paso y me fascinaba. Pero nunca me he quedado en una época. Cada nueva década me ha otorgado nuevas propuestas, algunos años más oscuros y otros llenos de ideas frescas. Ninguna época fue mejor. Ese es mi lema. Sigo disfrutando cada día más. Ahora, me siento muy influenciado por el tecno melódico y el progressive. Gente como Jeremy Olander, Cid Inc, Khen, Guy J, Cristoph, Dmitry Molosh...y muchos más. 

Por eso, un día hace algunos años decidí que era el momento de formar parte de este mundo fantástico que es la música. La tecnología avanzó lo suficiente como para permitir que un apasionado de la música no profesional sacara de su interior toda su creatividad. Y aquí estoy. Mi ciudad tiene una filosofía peculiar, diferente al resto de ciudades de España. Cuando acaba el invierno quema todo lo viejo y explota entre fuego y estruendos, color y flores, para renacer en una nueva primavera. La esencia del fuego, el renacer de las cenizas como un ave Fénix lo llevo en la sangre. Y todo ello impregna mi trabajo. Me hace ser lo que soy. Y me ilumina en este nuevo camino de la vida. La música es la respuesta.
