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!

Ciao a tutti e benvenuti! Yes we are back with our weekly exclusive Progcast, where Il Modo takes you around Planet Progressive, plundering the hottest dance floors and DJ's to bring you another superb mix.

As the intro suggests we have finally ventured into Italy and the home of a legendary tastemaker and trendsetter. Personally proud to get this one out there, he has delivered a blockbuster of a mix, so make some noise for Pablo Gargano!

Hailing from Milan, Italian DJ/Producer Pablo Gargano began his musical journey by captivating local audiences with his electrifying sets in clubs. Seeking new experiences, he ventured to Northern Ireland and joined the renowned 'Underground Records' shop in Belfast. It was here that he honed his craft and secured a residency at the legendary 'Hellraiser' events, where he shared the stage with esteemed luminaries such as Carl Cox, Joey Beltram, and Aphex Twin. This period of artistic exploration and collaboration solidified his love for Techno and Acid music.

In 1994, he made a pivotal move to London, where he quickly made waves in the electronic music scene. Releasing EPs on esteemed labels like Rabbit City and Metropolitan Music, he co-founded the Eve Records Group alongside his close friend, Stefano Lo Presti. Under an array of aliases, he spearheaded the early releases on Eve Records while lending his remixing prowess to esteemed artists spanning Hooj, Armada, FFRR, and Polydor.

A true globetrotter, he embarked on a captivating journey as a DJ, gracing stages across Europe and beyond. Renowned for his distinctive style, his innovative fusion of Acid techno, Trance, and Progressive genres left an indelible impact. His tracks found their place on influential compilations from Reactivate to Global Underground, solidifying his position as a tastemaker.

After a hiatus in 2005, he returned to his roots in Italy, embracing the joys of family life. However, in 2020, after a 15-year sabbatical, he emerged from the shadows, reigniting his unyielding passion for music. Collaborating with esteemed labels such as YOMO, JOOF Recordings, Pure Progressive, Eve Records and many more to come, he embarked on a sonic exploration, infusing his eclectic interpretation across various musical genres.

With a boundless creative spirit and an insatiable appetite for innovation, he continues to captivate audiences with his productions and unforgettable performances. Beyond the confines of the underground, he seeks to push boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music.
