Art is there to express what's inside when words are not enough. I seek purpose, beauty and intention in it as much as I find those in Nature. In exchange for your time, I give you a taste of who I am. May you feel elevated somehow. I'm a Learning DJ and a Learning Human Being, making Elegant Music.

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.

Progressive & Melodic House Music Artist | DJ | Producer | Vocalist | Classical Pianist
Shell Robinson creates sonic journeys that transcend genre boundaries, weaving progressive house, melodic techno, and trance into immersive experiences. Her latest EP "Beautiful Mind" on Schallmauer reached #8 on Beatport's Global Releases chart across all genres and claimed the #1 spot in Progressive House—a testament to her ability to craft music that resonates far beyond single-genre constraints.
A classically trained musician who grew up at the piano—and famously knocking on neighbors' doors asking to sing—Shell has evolved into an electronic artist known for technical precision and emotional depth. Specializing in extended sets, she crafts intricate musical narratives that balance darkness and light, allowing stories to unfold naturally over time.
Her productions have found homes on Schallmauer, UV Noir, Juicebox Music, Future Avenue, InU Records, and AH Digital, while her performances have placed her alongside influential artists including Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, John 00 Fleming, Saeed & Palash, Behrouz, D:FUSE, and Keoki.
As host of HouseCall, Shell explores the artistry behind electronic music through conversations with fellow creators, contributing to the global house and techno community. Her approach—whether performing, producing, or connecting through dialogue—reflects a commitment to sophisticated, authentic experiences that resonate across generations.
