Stephen is a Scottish music enthusiast whose journey began at just 13 years old in 1990, when he first ventured into the world of record shopping where he would spend every Saturday digging through crates at his local record shop.

This early exposure to vinyl sparked a lifelong passion for digging deep into diverse sounds. Influenced by the lush melodies of early Italian piano music, the vibrant energy of 90s rave, and the evolving textures of mid-90s progressive house, Stephen quickly developed an ear for dynamic, emotive dance music.

As the years progressed, so did his taste. Drawing inspiration from the evolving landscapes of Afro House, Progressive House, and Organic House, Stephen's modern sound weaves intricate rhythms, organic grooves, and deep, atmospheric elements. 

His mixes blend past influences with contemporary sensibilities, creating a sonic space where melody, movement, and emotion converge. Whether DJing out or creating mixes for his monthly radio show on Saturo Sounds, Stephen's sets are a journey through time, bridging the raw energy of the past with the innovative sounds of today.

Stephen loves nothing more than discovering new and up and coming producers and is passionate about supporting the smaller Independent labels who are the very cornerstones of the music industry.

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

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.
