Hailing from Sri Lanka and now thriving in Toronto's vibrant music scene, Swindler is more than just a DJ and producer – he's a sonic storyteller. 

Originally known as DJ Loopout, Swindler embarked on his musical journey in 2015 as a resident DJ in Beppu, Japan, igniting dance floors with his infectious energy and eclectic sets. Transitioning into production in 2018, he quickly made waves with three singles under his former alias, together amassing over 10,000 views on his YouTube channel.

In 2023, Swindler relocated to Toronto, rebranding himself to reflect his evolving sound and artistic vision. With a penchant for melodies and robust basslines, Swindler draws inspiration from the dynamic energy of Tech House and the emotive qualities of Progressive House, seamlessly blending the two genres into his own distinct sound.

With support from industry heavy weights such as DJ Ruby and multiple support from DJs and radio shows globally, Swindler is quickly building a name for himself in the progressive house scene.

Recently, he made a significant splash with a high-profile release on Australia's renowned Late Night Music label to launch 2024. His debut EP dropped on BC2 Recordings earlier this March. Boasting an impressive YouTube presence, he has amassed over 100,000 views and 1500 subscribers, indicative of a fervent fan base eagerly awaiting his forthcoming musical ventures.


About the Mix
I’m super excited to kick off the mix with my new edit of Above and Beyond's classic thing called love. I've also played a couple of I.Ds and one of them is premier. I tried to find the balance between my own recent releases and tunes from other artists I'm listening to on repeat these days. The mix starts off with an organic feel and evolves into a more energetic feel and I've closed off with a few of my tech house inspired progressive tunes.

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.
