This week we are privileged to welcome Walter Gutiérrez, artistically known as @dj-wcross, an Argentine DJ and producer with a well-established career in the global electronic music scene. He made his professional DJ debut in 2010 at the iconic After Beach Party at La Caseta in Mar del Plata, performing for over 5,000 people. Throughout his career, he has played at Argentina's top clubs, including Pacha and Bahrein, as well as performing across his country and internationally as a headline artist, sharing the booth with globally renowned DJs.

In 2011, he launched his own show, Golden Wings Radio, which became influential globally, with a lineup featuring exclusive sets from artists such as Carl Cox, Sasha, 16 Bit Lolitas, Eelke Kleijn, Cid Inc, Henry Saiz, Guy J, Marc Marzenit, Robert Babicz, Guy Mantzur, Danny Howells, Stefano Noferini, Lexicon Avenue, Nick Muir, and Charlie May, among others.

In 2012, WCross founded Golden Wings Music Radio, followed by his record label Golden Wings Music, which has since become a benchmark in the global underground scene. Through GWM, he launched and promoted emerging artists like Mike Griego, Kevin Di Serna, Nicolás Rada, Ezequiel Arias, and John Cosani, maintaining a high-quality curation supported by industry legends like Nick Warren, John Digweed, Hernán Cattáneo, Guy J, Above & Beyond, Denis A, Darin Epsilon, Anton Tumas, Armin Van Buuren, and Tiësto.

His music has been released on labels such as 3rd Avenue, Golden Wings Music, In4mation, Balkan Connection South America, Light Digital, Stripped Recordings, and Stripped Digital. Additionally, his unofficial remixes and reworks of artists like Gui Boratto were supported by Jody Wisternoff, who included his remix of Azzurra in Above & Beyond's Trance Around The World show.

Today, as the head of Golden Wings Radio and Golden Wings Music, he continues to deliver world-class programming, with a roster of globally recognized artists and a strong commitment to promoting new talent in the underground scene.

This is an exclusive set only for OPV listeners. Close your eyes and enjoy the ride. 😊


Ottawa Prog Vibes 301 – WCross (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

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.
