Hello everyone and welcome back onboard the PFG Progcast! We take you around Planet Progressive every week, forever searching for the best and most exclusive sets from the best DJs we can find... 

Born in the UK, but now residing in Denver US, our artist today has only been around our scene a small time, and is already making big moves within it. A stellar 2022 now looks set to bring rich pickings this year, with many a clued in listener eager for his services. 

Cooking up something a little different today, a DJ mix made with lots of live, on the fly edits JUST for this mix, including a very special intro exclusively for us, and a raft of unreleased music straight off the mixing boards. PFG give it up for the awesome Orticaan.

Daryl Thomas (AKA Orticaan) was born in the UK,  but has since moved to the States. Making the well travelled route to Cream in Liverpool, a young Daryl could always be found front and centre of a packed, Cattaneo led dance floor, keen to focus on the skills of the Argentine master. All the filter sweeps, the bass fades, juggling three decks at once, a master craftsman's workshop in mixing and track selection. 

These are keen influences on how Daryl approaches his work, more suited to sound design and production. Why create a DJ mix when you can create and influence the sounds in a mix instead? 

These influences, plus listening to unsung heroes of our scene like Lucien Foort, Remy and Perry O'Neill combine to bring you the soundtrack you hear today. Progressive house melodies, filling vast electronic soundscapes, laced with driving bass-lines, all boxed into a beautiful ethereal package.

Its these packages of aural joy that the cream of our scenes label's are quickly forming a queue to get hold of. AH Digital, Arcedian, Moussaieff, LateNightMusic, ProBtech, Sounds and Frequencies and Droid9 have all noticed the clear talent Orticaan has, and its a queue that will get deeper and deeper this year. 

You can catch a glimpse of Daryl's work as a resident on both AATM & the illustrious DI-FM too!

'I play using Ableton live, with custom effects and EQ racks. I focus on making every mix something special, running long loops and re-editing tracks for one-off, on-the-fly moments. For this mix check out the exclusive intro, edits of tracks from Nick Mason & Innerphonic, as well as a host of my own current and unreleased work.. Hope you enjoy'  Orticaan - Feb 2023.
