For our first episode of 2022 we are proud to present, in what could become an annual tradition, an exclusive set by the current champion of the World Series of Progressive Sets, a global contest organized every year by with Progressive en España. The 2021 contest featured 46 contestants from 11 countries (including Canada).

The 2021 champion was LEX-NDR from Italy. Born in 1979, discovered his passion for electronic music at childhood, and moved to London at a young age to explore its music scene. Working in clubs and enjoying going out to the best parties he started with house music at first, then trance, while clubbing and organizing parties.

After many years spent “studying” the London club scene, he moved to Palma de Mallorca to enjoy a quieter lifestyle. That is where he met Kobah, DJ & producer, who became not just his best friend but also his teacher in everything that has to do with music. Thanks to Kobah, he started playing and mixing and slowly changed his musical taste to progressive and more underground music. After several years of endless back-to-back sessions and late-night classes, the best is yet to come!

This exclusive set is in fact a B2B with his mentor, Kobah. Born Santiago Ivan Lopez in 1984, Kobah is an Argentine DJ. His interest in electronic music dates back to his adolescence, mainly by listening to progressive and techno music. Back in 2004, DJ’ing became part of his deepest nature and his passion became his obsession; first, by playing in private parties, and then more and more often in bars and clubs all over Argentina.

This set is a pure flow of musical honey, delicious in its melodic discipline, technically flawless, delicate yet very deliberate in its build-up, a real work of progressive elegance.

We are stoked to introduce our next guest, the incredibly talented @subtractivemusic, a DJ and producer from Grand Rapids, Michigan. 

Subtractive has continued to grow his worldwide footprint with his original tracks. In 2022, just weeks after it’s release, his EP with Bonzai Progressive “The Medici Effect” broke into the top 100 Progressive House releases globally both on Beatport (#72) and Traxsource (#71) and has been supported by DJ’s around the world, with Joseph Capriati (Drumcode, Afterlife), Cristian Varela (Toolroom, Bedrock), Giusseppe Ottaviani (Armada, A State of Trance), and Luciano Scheffer (Warung Recordings, Transensations) all pledging their support. To further emphasize his international presence, In 2021 his track “Last Train to Madrid” on Slur Records reached the #1 spot for Techno in Italy on iTunes, and In 2020 his remix of “StayLoose - Tiny Warrior” reached #1 in Electronic music in the Netherlands on iTunes. 

With a drummer for a father, and a sister who was into illegal street racing, Subtractive’s (Alex Hunt’s) childhood was anything but normal. By age 13, Alex was already hooked by the euphoric, confidence-inducing sounds of electronic dance music; “I used to beg my sister to let me ride along on races... Sometimes she would give in. The days following, I would be asking her what music her friends were listening to in the car.”

After his initial exposure, it didn’t take long for Hunt to dedicate himself to learning the art of music creation. Without means to travel to the more vibrant music scenes of Detroit or Chicago, the young producer spent his nights practicing skills such as mixing, sampling, and synthesis. As years went on, Alex began making the trek from Indiana to Detroit nearly every weekend. With a head full of production knowledge and an eagerness to experience Detroit’s underground party scene, the cards were right for Alex Hunt to undergo a musical transformation; this is when he became Subtractive.

An artist whose eyes and ears are consistently set on the future, Subtractive strives to create music that is totally non-traditional. His compositions explore the limits of electronic sound, while maintaining a rhythm which is irresistible to dancers. Dream-like synth melodies and pristinely processed vocals float over the top of floor-shaking bass, creating a groove which consists of equal parts dance party and introspective voyage. A true master of manipulating energy, Subtractive’s productions take his listeners on a journey that has captivated many across the globe.

This is one you won’t want to miss. We are very excited to present this exclusive session.

From a young age he was drawn to music and started DJ’ing at age 14. He got his debut at Club Bahrein, one of Buenos Aires’ iconic venues, in 2018, and has played there several times since. Iñaki has shared decks with the likes of Andrea Casino, Sergio Ahtos, Abel Meyer, Dynacom, Ezequiel Ramirez, Valdovinos and many more.

He is also co-founder of the ALTUM MUSIC label (@altummusicok) which has just released its first EP, with support from artists that include Guy J, Nick Warren, Mariano Mellino, Grazziano Rafa, Dj Ruby, Fabri Lopez and several more.

It gives us great joy to welcome our next guest, none other than @stansebamusic, one of the world’s top and most prolific progressive producers, one whose tracks we have consistently been drawn to for the depth of their musical intelligence and the subtlety of their melodic richness.

German producer Sebastian was born in 1975. He started listening to electronic music in the mid 90s and took his first steps in producing music soon after. After moving to Korea in 2000, where he is still residing, he somewhat took a step back from producing for a while but rediscovered his passion about 10 years later. Today he is releasing music under his alias Stan Seba on labels such as Another Life Music, Massive Harmony Records, Future Avenue and Zephyr Music. 

As a producer, occasionally guest mixer and listener, he places high value on melodies and vibes, rather melancholic ones. However, he tries to always be open to change and explore new music.

I’ve been in touch with Ignacio for just over a year and he has always been generous in sharing his music, including some pretty sick bootlegs that I’ve enjoyed shredding in live gigs. It was high time to have him do a guest mix for OPV and here it is. The man delivers a solid session for us - it oozes energy and kick while delivering a tight melodic flow that just pulls you in and doesn’t let you go til the very end.

This week we have the pleasure of welcoming Paris-based artist Aymar aka The Real Carter to the show.

The electronic scene in France has long been one of Europe’s most dynamic. From its beginnings in the 1970’s with pioneers like Jean-Michel Jarre, that country has spawned some of the biggest names including Daft Punk, Laurent Garnier and more recently Betical, Raphael Cerato and Teho. France also has its share of great festivals and events, such as the Cercle Music Festival that just took place last weekend.

The Real Carter evolves between Ethno and Progressive House. He started his electronic music journey just before Covid and has now signed on multiple labels such as Hungarian entity Dynamica Label.

Part of the Orchessons music crew in Paris, he constantly tries to improve his perception of electronic music. He also believes that building a unique and personal style is mandatory nowadays. Thus, he spends most of his time crafting atmosphere in his studio and as this activity requires time and commitment, he rarely posts sets online.

This episode for Ottawa Prog Vibes is special for him as he includes one of his unreleased pieces produced with his duo LK as Astral Frames.

A raver and dancer since the early 90's, Thunder Bitch was always an acolyte of the underground and its delicious sounds. When the pandemic hit and the music stopped they formed the Pandemica Kollective with life partner Zena to give people an outlet for mental health hosting safe physically distanced outdoor events.

In December of 2020 Thunder Bitch crossed over from the dancefloor to behind the decks creating a unique style playing techno, house, disco and progressive with hypnotic thunderous rolling basslines that inspire dancing.

Quickly finding success Thunder Bitch found a residency with The Kollective, Sashay and is a regular guest DJ with the Techno Cats and regularly can be found in the underground of Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto with an upcoming appearance at Canada's largest festival, Pride Toronto.

“Distributor of deep, infectious dance grooves and a feel-good atmosphere.” 

That’s how Sam describes himself as a DJ. Never afraid to go too deep, his emotive musical selections are his own therapy.  Having grown up on his parents' beautiful combination of funk and Disco music (James Brown, Donna Summer), Rock'n'roll (Led Zeppelin, Ramones), Flamenco (Gipsy Kings, Camarón de la Isla) … All of which became infused with his own love for house and techno music, Chef ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of the music that he loves best. 

An active member of his musical community, he loves playing in nightclubs, festivals, patios, pop-ups and special events. His love for music goes beyond the spectrum of mixing tunes. He has found plenty of ways to express himself musically. He also likes to organize private and public events in parks, beaches and islands, just to name a few. He has dedicated himself to helping others become better DJs through his passion for music while giving tips to others and sharing their music along the way. 

“For me, it’s all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove… playing those tracks that get you feeling some type of way. Throwing those beats that leave you nodding your head without you realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo or style. “

Feel the depth in this exclusive guest mix, only for Ottawa Prog Vibes.

Deep Devotions consists of longtime friends Agusta, Spetz and Wennström. Originating from the middle and northern parts of Sweden they were blown away by the electronic sounds of Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Front 242 and Nitzerbb in the late 80s and early 90s. Following the evolution of the scene and industry ever since, they all went in to deejaying in the 90s playing gigs all over the place.

Going further, organizing clubs which led them to share stages with legends such as Eric Prydz, Axwell and Stonebridge just to name a few. Deep Devotions started off as a way to share new music between them but developed in to also sharing the sets publicly. Today they are steady picking up a broader audience with their signature sound.

Summer is getting hotter! This week we have an incredible session from a guy who knows how to spin for a summer mood. Primitive, from Jaén (Spain) has been doing this since the age of 20. Always passionate about electronic music, he started spinning in clubs across his city and grew into DJ’ing at larger events and clubs all around Andalucía and the south of Spain.

Today his style is resolutely progressive and as you will feel in this mix, his knowledge and experience of the sound is obvious - and spiced with that little Spanish flavour that goes so well with the warm sun.

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.
