Dominic's journey into the world of electronic music commenced at a tender age of 16, immersed in the vibrant UK rave scene of the 90s. From clandestine gatherings to illegal events, his fascination with electronic sound deepened, evolving over time through genres like Trance, Garage, and Drum & Bass. However, it was the discovery of the 'Global Underground' compliation series and influential DJs, namely Sasha, John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, and Nick Warren, that solidified his passion for progressive house.

Amidst the pandemic's constraints, Dominic seized the opportunity to delve into DJing, capitalizing on the surplus of time afforded by lockdowns. Equipped with a DJ controller and a selection of progressive and melodic house tracks, he embarked on a transformative journey.

Recognized within the UK community as the 'ProgMelodic' protagonist, Dominic stands at the intersection where Progressive and Melodic House cross paths and where the lines become blurred. His sets are characterized by a seamless fusion of atmospheric elements, fostering a distinctive sonic identity that captivates listeners with its provocative, uplifting, and emotive allure.

Dominic holds esteemed online residencies with platforms such as Saturo Sounds, Organic Deep House Radio, Subcode, and Underground Kollektive. He regularly plays his 'ProgMelodic' sound across the underground events circuit of London.

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.
