Hello, g'day and welcome! So happy you can join us for a wee whizz around Planet Prog again on this wicked Wednesday. Bags packed? Passport safe? Then take a seat on our first class flight to another scorching dancefloor destination.

There are few producers in the Progressive House world who command more respect than our guest DJ today, and there's no one as happy as us when we introduce him to you. Il Modo, give it up for the amazing Gab Oliver!

“You just had to be there” is an oft-repeated refrain whenever the “Melbourne sound” – the dark, stripped-down, and gritty progressive house and breakbeat that dominated the city’s dancefloors in the early 2000's – comes up in conversation. 

Gab Oliver created and nurtured a sound that eschewed the big, bold, brash sounds of the late 90’s in favour of a deeper, darker, and more hypnotic aesthetic. In the process he shaped an entire movement that cemented Australia as a creative force in the global dance music scene, and led to the rapid maturity of Progressive house and Breakbeat. 

The legendary party 'Sunny' was the key Melbourne monthly event where punters could regularly hear these new sounds, thanks to the resident DJs being given free reign to experiment musically and the party having a strong emphasis on going against the grain. Without question, the driving force behind the uncompromising deep and dark focus of the event was Gab Oliver.

 “Road testing our tunes at Sunny was the biggest gift of all. That’s all that really mattered, people going off to our music, that was fucking amazing.” The pioneer of the deep and hypotonic sound has recently re-launched the much loved Zero Tolerance label which has given the current Progressive House landscape a shakeup from the mainstream, pointing towards a deeper, darker, and more moody aesthetic. He recently released "Drowning" EP on this label and has also joined forces with Bassiray & Mckeown under the guise "Depth Institute".  

Moody soundscapes, mediated by underlying tension and bathed in darkness, Depth Institute‘s haunted and sophisticated late-night progressive storytelling is uncompromising in every sense of the word. Their debut Remix on Gab's ‘Drowning EP‘ which focused on subtlety and deep textures representing the true ZT sound brilliantly. 

Their follow-up release was a remix of Hot TuneiK‘s ‘Poema‘, a track heavily supported by John Digweed on his recent tour of Argentina, on his Transitions Radio show, and peaked at #2 on the Beatport Top 100 Progressive House Releases Chart.

"I want the relaunched Zero Tolerance to be like it was back when we started it, a place for new artists to make music other people aren’t making. I’ve always had a passion for new music and supporting emerging artists, and I would love to see a new generation of producers given the kinds of opportunities we weren’t by other labels when we started out. If you’re making music that’s too deep and dark for other labels, we want to hear it." - Gab.. 

With that in mind, enjoy the mix!

We are extremely thrilled to have Richard Mcmaster
as our 1st guest of EP 27 of Lux Cast Radio.
@richard-mcmaster

About the Artist:

Richard has released music labels such as Minds Alike, Canopy Sounds, Nordic Voyage, Ethereality, Podoba. His world oscillates somewhere between music and science. With a classical music education, he comes from Northern Ireland where he was heavily influenced by the iconic electronic music collective Shine in Belfast.

He also lived in Liverpool with its rich and diverse musical culture for 10 years where he studied Music Technology. In music, Richard’s influences range from across the electronic music spectrum, and he loves melody within music, seeking to combine his music theory, practical education, and real-world experiences into the electronic form.

Richard has a deep fascination with the cosmos and the concept of life elsewhere in the universe, how humans relate to each other, and our place together within space and time.

Lux Cast Presents Richard Mcmaster [EP 27]

Support from Nick Warren, AFFKT, Anthony Pappa, Just Her, Audio Junkies, and of course form Dave Seaman and Steve Parry

Jonathan Cowan is an OG of the scene Stateside, particularly in his native Florida, where he gave a certain Dave Seaman his first US residency back in 1998, and to this day remains a kingpin of that week in March when the dance music cognoscenti descend upon Miami.

With these two transatlantic amigos and like-minded souls having been (ahem) brothers in rhythm for nigh on three decades now, it was only right & proper that some of JC’s studio excursions would find their way to Selador. And so it was. The achingly beautiful ‘Alden’s Groove’ was first, debuting on our Sweet Sixteenth Showcase in 2022, and then followed by ‘Swaddles’ which graced our Seventeenth Instalment in 2023. At the time we described it as “tip top electronic headfuckery”, and some two years on, we ain’t changed our minds.

So naturally we’re pleased as proverbial punch to now unveil a brand-new double-header from JC.

‘Slater’ is first up, as clever as it is insanely catchy. It wears several 90s influences proudly on its sleeve (think ‘French Kiss’ meets Desert’s seminal ‘Moods’ and you’re part way there), while wrapping everything up in a warm 2025 blanket of sound. Listen now, thank us slater ;)

On the flipside, ‘Sawyer’ kicks off with a pure 80s Chicago bassline riding that Windy City wave, before Moroder-esque wonktastic riffage joins the fray and takes hold of the dance floor. So high indeed.

Tried and tested by both Messrs Seaman & Parry, these two meticulously crafted gems have been staples of their sets for the past few months but don’t just take our word for it, judge for yourselves.
 
Team Selador – Running in the family.

Atique - Exclusive Mix For Progressia 002

Noveno is my ninth mix, named for the little robot on the cover. He’s a spark, social, restless, and always chasing deep, steady and progressive sounds.

Much love to the producers and remixers whose work shaped this journey, including (alphabetically):

Antrim, Artyom Kozlov, Dany Dz, Dimuth K, Franky Wah, GMJ & Matter, Hot Since 82, Imran Khan, Interactive Sounds, Supacooks, The Urban District, and Wa Wu We.

There are a few familiar voices woven through the set. See if you can pick out the three or four singers when they surface. Much love xo

Noveno

John Cosani @ THE BOX BA Club - 26.04.19

I grew to appreciate music as a kid, listening to Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Duran Duran, Chaka Khan, Jan Hammer, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, and many other wonderful artists. I really connected with the electronic sounds of the ’80s. I’d sell 7” and 12” singles in my uncle’s shop in Glasgow by demoing tracks to customers and cranking up the sound—falling in love with the bass, the melodies, and the rhythms.

Over time, I’ve come to deeply appreciate emotional sounds and percussive, hypnotic beats. My next generation of influences included Sasha, John Digweed, Nick Warren, Deep Dish, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, Danny Howells, Pole Folder, Ricky Ryan, Slam, and of course, el maestro Hernán Cattáneo.

I’m based in the Bay of Plenty, NZ, spreading the sounds of deep, hypnotic progressive melodies and electronic music with like-minded souls in the communities here. I blend emotion, rhythm, melody, surprises, and storytelling into my sets, and I’ve been lucky enough to play everywhere from late-night dancefloors in Australia and New Zealand, to sun-soaked open gardens in Córdoba, Argentina, and tropical bars in Fiji and the Cook Islands. As a wise man once said, “Let there be house.”
