'Home is where the heart is'. A platitude often heard in realms other than music. But when it comes to artist and DJ Nathalie Henriette it indeed hits close to home. Replace Home with Music and Heart with Soul and we can soon see how things fall into place. Nathalie untangles all that into a personal statement: 'I play what I feel, I feel what I play'. When listening to one of her sets, whether it's radio, online, live or on Mixcloud, where she in no time gained top charting every single time, we can hear and feel exactly what she means.

As life happens it's up to the artist how to cope and transform something into an experience that ultimately makes sense. Nathalie Henriette is not one to hide from past life hardships and somehow, some way, manages to turn taste and skills into not only a melodic journey but a personal one as well. Not being restricted by set boundaries in today's underground dance music, she has found a unique way to translate all of that into a rather distinctive sound which transcends form, labels and genres.

2022 saw her star rise and gain momentum. She's been featured on Frisky Radio, DI.FM, Proton Radio and had appearances within the upper echelons of the progressive and underground dance scene. Her gigs, both in her native Holland and abroad, didn't go unnoticed. Since 2023 Nathalie Henriette presents Exultation every 4th Monday of the month on DI.FM, The Progressive Channel. The future for Nathalie Henriette and for those longing for a distinctive yet powerful and unique sound is looking bright indeed.

Worries

Unfolding is the sound of time, stretched and breathed into.  It is the sound of ideas given space.  Across four expansive tracks - Aether, Particles, Serenity, Solstice - Butane & Julio Aguilar deliver a collaborative work that resists commercial impulses to compress and conform.  Instead, the pieces drift with intention, evolve patiently, and reward those who listen without expectation.  Unfolding isn’t about destination; it’s about duration, resonance, and exploration.  Music that unfolds, like all meaningful things, in its own time.

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.
