Ottawa Prog Vibes 303 – Alain M. (Ottawa, Canada)

Oli Inkognito was one half of the Munich based Dj/Producer Team s.h.e.e.p. (with Marc van Mumpitz). From 2002 to 2007 he was acting as A&R & Label Dj for the Munich based Label Hardboiled Records and from 2007 to 2010 he was playing as a Label Dj for the well known German progressive Label Vertikal Records. Today he is a member of Dicular Records.

In 1998 he started djing at small parties – now he can look back on uncountable parties and festivals all over Germany, Europe and abroad. Some specials like AfrikaBurn (South Afrika), Natraj Temple Partys (Munich), Tresor (Berlin), Klang der Essenzen, Moonchild, XYMOX, La Pura Vida @ Castillo del Mar (La Gomera, Spain), Soma Solaris, Nine Bar (Vagator/Goa), Zoo thousand and two (South Africa), Mandorla (South Africa) Darklines (Austria), Blue Butterfly (Switzerland), Zirk Partys (Amsterdam), D-Apontia Gathering (Greece), Full Moon & Half Moon Partys (Thailand) Vortex and Tribal Vision Records Label Party (Czech Republic) Gathering of the Tribes, Electricity Festival, Organic Atmosphere and Shuria’s World (Berlin) are just a few of them.

He played as resident Dj at GOTEC over 7 years. His style is Organic Techno with a wide range, deep grooving and storytelling, always focused on the crowd. He also loves the alternative floors and is proven to turn a dancefloor mad with his set. He was the Organizer of the sucessful “PINKE PUNKTE – progressive Grooves” Partys every 2nd month in Karlsruhe and from time to time in Munich (Natraj Temple / Traumraum Club and Substation). Different radio shows like “Stripping Sounds” on danceradio.gr , Radio Wüste Welle, Hardboiled Radio, or Radio Free Tankwa (AfrikaBurn) supported him a lot over the last years.

Together with Dj Larimar and Marc van Mumpitz he founded the legendary Spiralclan in the year 2000 and they also organized their own parties around Munich. (Psychedelic Afternoon Afterhours, Pleasure Addicted Partys, Buddha Bar, Rossdance and of course Groove Garden and the Allach Partys 😉 the family knows!)

The first track from s.h.e.e.p. has been released on their own Hardboiled Wonderland Compilation and on Yellow Sunshine Explosion. They also made a remix from POTS – Dandy Division for Tribal Vision Records.

Oli Inkognito´s focus is actually on Djing!

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.

May you find PƏÅCĘ in your heart and healing in your Şơůł.
