This week we return to Argentina with our guest @debb_g_, a Buenos Aires-born DJ. Debb grew up surrounded by artists, musicians and a plethora of communication platforms.

She got into the music around 2000, first as a clubber and hanging out in the booth with DJ friends, then started to play for audiences at private underground events, then across the city at bars, rooftops and clubs, sometimes in B2B’s.

Debb has honed in on the progressive, organic and melodic techno genres, reaching into chillout depending on the venue. She is a contemporary artist whose musical voice has grown in reach, achieving monthly and even weekly air times in radios from various countries and reaching friends from across the globe through her YouTube channel.

Her music is heard on shows in Germany, Belgium, Colombia, Croatia, Spain, the US, France, Kazakhstan, Italy, South Africa, Turkey, the UK and of course in her native Argentina (in Buenos Aires, Santa Cruz, Chaco and Mendoza). She is also currently a contestant on Progressive en España’s 2023 Progressive Sets Championships.

This week we are thrilled to welcome one of the rising star DJ/producers from the progressive music hotbed of Sri Lanka.

Kaveen Suraweera aka KAZKO first emerged in 2020 with a string of tech-house oriented releases, before finding his way into progressive house with releases via 3rd Avenue, Balkan Connection, Bonzai Progressive, Dopamine White, Soundteller, and Another Life Music in 2021. 2022 has seen the Colombo resident continue to rise, adding projects for Antrim’s Strangers Beats, The Soundgarden, Clubsonica, Revolt Music, 3rd Avenue, Freegrant Music, Balkan Connection and Transensations Records to his resume.

It was a huge milestone in Kazko’s music journey, when he started to release his wonderful music tracks in early 2021 with worldwide leading record labels.
His tracks were supported by celebrity DJs like Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, Armin van Buren, Guy J, Solomun, DJ Ruby, Dubfire, Paco Osuna, Cevin Fisher, and more.

His music has a melodic sensibility like few others can manage and yet is always marked by a solid undertow of devilish groove. OPV listeners are fortunate to get this exclusive session!

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.
