This mix is all about one epic journey my wife, son and I embarked on when we visited the mighty USA.
And so, my journey begins...in an RV the size of a small house!
We left Monterrey and headed down Route 1 bound for Pismo Beach and Carpinteria. Blue skies and glorious sunshine followed us on our month road trip to some of the most amazing places I have ever seen. Off the bay came the Humpbacks and Orcas…absolutely breath taking. Watching the surfers catch their ride with the Pelicans flying low over the waves, while the sun starts its journey downward…mesmerising. The tracks in this mix have a deep organic feel with the warmth of a lazy, hazy summer's day and remind me of that wonderful journey. After leaving the coast and heading into the mountains, we stopped off at Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia, which leads me in nicely to say that one of the tracks is aptly called ‘Sequoia’ by Mango Cult (Mass Digital Remix). You cannot do a trip like this and not be affected spiritually.
The USA will always have a special place in my heart, and I always get a longing to go back. The first track is one of my all-time favourites called ‘Emotions Electric’ by A Guy Called Gerald. I could listen to this track on repeat and never get tired of it.
I think that music is the only thing that can change everything. I believe that music can change what people do, how they think and feel, and how they do things. Music can help and change a person…even heal. I’ve listened to so many hours of music, and I know that it can make your day when you are feeling low. I know that music can change how you think or feel, because there are some songs I only listen to when I am sad, mad…happy or trying to concentrate. Every piece of music has its own personality and its own place in time.
My belief formed simply by listening to music almost all the time and realising the power of it. It is connected to all emotions because music can influence all emotions. When I put a mix together, I feel that I’m sculpting and shaping a journey from all these wonderful sounds that I have in front of me, and I hope that the listener feels this too. Without music the world would be a silent and dark place.

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain (Bob Marley).

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.
