Hello everyone, welcome to Wednesday. Time for another assault on your aural senses, and the midweek bump that is the PFG Progcast, hold tight! 

Week three of our whistle stop tour of England's finer artists, and landing a bit of a coup today crew. We've not had to move far to find a creative force in full flow right now. Capturing a slice of this force thats finding its path onto the USB sticks of our scenes more discerning DJ's, in a mix loaded with exclusives and yet unheard material... GIVE IT UP TO FOUR CANDLES! 

Four Candles is a globally renowned DJ & producer who has released music on Bedrock Records, Forensic, ICONYC, Krafted and many more, including his own Keep Thinking imprint.
 
Influenced across the spectrum of electronic music and with a penchant for melodic & progressive house, his music has made its way into the record bags of many esteemed DJs. Indeed, ‘Devious’ was supported by none other than dance music luminary John Digweed and it wasn’t long until the track had landed on Bedrock Records and into the ears of discerning clubbers across the globe. 
 
In lineage with his unmistakeable sound, yet with a positive disregard to conform to style, he simultaneously released ‘The Traveller’ on BBC Radio 1’s Krafted; a heart-warming melodic house raver which not only landed him airtime on BBC Introducing, but also firmly positioned him as a notably versatile and exciting studio talent.

As a DJ, his sets have been lauded as “hyper-creative and forward thinking” by WePlayMusic; a statement vindicated by his recent Transitions guest mix with John Digweed, placing at Number 1 across the global Mixcloud chart within days of release.
 
Hype aside, lock into a Four Candles set and you won’t care for any of the superfluous industry chatter. There’s a core reason why there is so much love for his vibrant and expressive DJ sets..

..It’s a deep connection with the music, with the crowd, and a welcome invitation to forget about everything else!

Keep Thinking w/Four Candles - Episode 060

Hello Everyone, and welcome to our exclusive PFG Progcast! Every week we transport you to another dance floor destination on Planet Progressive, delivering a brand new mix just for you. 

We are delighted to welcome back today's DJ behind our infamous decks. Born and raised in the hotbed of north west England, our artist today has been a member of PFG since its very conception, regularly attending events with us, and has become an invaluable member of our community. 

Make some noise for John Roberts!

John has been spinning cross genre sets since 1991 in various clubs throughout the North West of England. Starting with a love of playing early breaks, hardcore and Belgian techno before embracing the progressive house sound and concentrating on this throughout the 90’s and beyond.

During the 90’s he amassed an amazing collection of some 9000+ records! John took a break in 2000 to focus on family life but got back into DJing in 2009 and has held residencies at several online radio stations since that time. 

A set from John blurs the boundaries of House, Progressive and Techno to provide a unique journey. He tries to bring tracks that haven’t found mainstream appeal to the decks and is keen to take the listener on a journey. Delighted to have John back with us, after being one of our very first podcast artists over 2 years ago. ENJOY THE MIX!

Planet Progressiv' PP01 //Marc Denuit Jan. 2023 On Xbeat Radio Show

Hello and welcome to our 1st Exclusive Series (with Subcode) of 2023. Featuring the skills and talents of Dublin's unique trio of Electronic music artists. Each month we highlight each of our DJ's, with a 2 hour set aired every 4th Thursday of the month. 

January 2023 saw Khankra take to the decks. Dave always brings a unique style to his set's, often mixing in classics from the past, along with big dance floor anthems.  ENJOY!

Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Khankra’s passion for electronic music started at a young age and has continued to evolve with time. Khankra’s roots have always been entwined in hypnotic grooves, rolling basslines and driving melodies.

At 17 he purchased his first set of 1210’s and from there he began forging a name for himself in the Dublin scene, playing at nights across some of the city’s best clubs like The Redbox, The Pod, the Button Factory, Traffic, Mono, The Chocolate Bar.

After somewhat of a hiatus from the scene, in 2014 Khankra had the opportunity to warm up for industry icon, and personal hero, Sasha at The Button Factory.

Following this, Khankra teamed up with the Melodic Residents and handed the headphones over to some other industry legends during this time, including Nick Warren, Sebastien Leger, Los Soruba, The Drifter and Guy J on a number of memorable occasions.

In late 2019, Khankra teamed up with DJ’s Glenn Molloy, Soulfinder and Ger Bozyk to form Fusion Underground. Since then the group have started the Fusion Underground Mix series, which has had some excellent support across the industry and continues to grow.

Khankra has a number of Production projects in play, adding to his releases already on Compatible Records. We should also expect to see Khankra and some top acts playing at Fusion Underground gigs in the near future!

TRANSMIT - Session 009 - Mixed by Akiva

Well this one should have been out weeks ago but March turned into a bit of an exercise in having no free time. So... we are gonna call this April and it's early instead of very late. The power of positive thinking right?

Back to a traditional 2 hour melodic journey at a reasonable pace that is more geared towards the dance floor (in contrast to January's mix) with this one. Loads of great music from great artists and labels. I probably could have called this one the "2 hour Will DeKeizer prog sandwich" given its starting and ending point but we're not going to do that.

Hope you enjoy!
