Welcome to Wednesday and another exclusive edition of the PFG Progcast. Join us on our journeys around Planet Progressive, as we discover the finest DJ talent we can for your listening pleasures...

Today our travels take us back to one of our favourite spots, Scotland! Well known for her talented DJ's our third visit her doesn't disappoint. A Big friend of all the groups and stations he's played on, PFG give it up, for Garry Howden!

Garry has been DJ'ing since 1991, where as an 11 year old he used to play older hardcore tracks from the 90s scene . Then at the age of 16 he fell in love with the trance sound of the time,  soon evolving into Progressive House. It was here he discovered Sasha, John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, Nick Warren & many more. This naturally led to him and his best friend Allan to run their own nights in their hometown, called Dysfunktion. It was here Garry would hone his DJ skills, warming up for the likes of John 00 Fleming, Slam and Fergie. Today he still collects many records from this style of music and has loved the Progressive sound, both new and classic, ever since. He continues to play after moving to the States, and for this mix Garry turns back the clock to the golden era! ENJOY!

PFG The Progcast - Episode 41 -Garry Howden

Lynsey started her journey into dance music in the early 90’s after friends took her to Renaissance at 
Venue 44 in Mansfield. From the start she loved the progressivehouse and tougher techno sound and was a
regular at The Orbit in Morley, Ark and Soak, Leeds. She worked in a record shop at the time, 
buying her first set of Technics 1210's originally so she could do something with her addiction to buying
vinyl. She began playing breakbeat in clubs around Manchester and shortly after that her voyage into
DnB began. She landed 2 residencies in her home town of Huddersfield and 2 radioshows, which resulted in 
her playing at various events across the country. She had a 5-year break whilst raising her son, but returned 
to the music scene in 2018. Her taste had changed back to her otiginal love of progressive house and 
progressive breaks. A friend she met on the progressive house circuit encouraged her to get back on the decks 
and that’s where her rising current following 

Lynsey is known for building atmospheric breaks sets that meander through progressive breaks and progressive
house effortlessly, inviting her listeners to join her on a journey. More recently she has been favouring
the darker, driving progressive house sounds too. 

Lynsey has 2 monthly shows on Subcode radio. Momentum being her breaks show and Yana, a
6-hour showcase where she is joined by producers and dj's from across the world
dance music spectrum. She is sought after for guest mixes and is known for being a Dj's DJ. She has 
reached top 10 with guest mixes on the Proton Radio station and has mixes on Frisky radio's archives, and DI.FM. She was recently a guest on Patrize's After Hours radio show which is broadcast on various stations around the world
She has connections with most producers, artists and labels within the scene as she runs the Progressive breaks, melodic breaks and electronica group on Facebook and is known to most as she champions the sound that she loves

It’s 2020 I need a club to go wild in 🤣🙌

Originally from Scotlands coastal East Lothian but now based in Edinburgh . Very broad musical tastes influenced over the years, my parents loved a party, their music definitely influenced me.

I was into early gangsta rap in 90s, then Leftfield,Daft punk etc , whilst working in a kitchen as a teenager in a Saturday, i listened to Pete Tong before finishing work and heading home for the essential mix later! 

Became hooked on clubbing during the early days of prog , 2000 onwards it was every weekend nearly.My love of clubbing and music has never stopped from those days.


Picked up Belt drive turntables before moving to 1210s in 06 and added Pioneers, I still use vinyl but mainly digital nowadays.


Over the years I have played in clubs in Edinburgh at nights such as Beatroot, Karnival. 

Aswell as Edinburgh I have also played at Kinfolk in Williamsburg ,Brooklyn NYC, Cariocas Beach Bar in Greece and also in the glamorous Cote d'Azur areas of St Raphael/Frejus. 

I hit a buffer in 2018 due to family circumstances and it wasn't until 2020 I got back into DJing again. 

I did 2 vinyl live streams during lockdown and afterwards I was Invited to do guest mixes for Online group PFG , I was then asked by Steven Mccreery and Kev Wright to do mixes for Beat 106. In July 2022 I was asked by Belgium/France based station, Xbeat radio to do a mix. I have since done a further 6 mixes for them .

The Pinnacle for me has been playing at the mighty Skyline parties in Glasgow, I was first asked to play at their 2nd Birthday Sudbeat Showcase in May 2024 alongside Graziano Raffa, Marcelo Vasami, Nicolas Rada, GMJ and Matter .

Incredibly I was asked to play again at the Selador records party in September 2024. Dave Seaman and  Steve Parry, alongside Kasey Taylor,Tara Brooks.

I like to try and use music from many different genres and artists. Anything goes ! 

From Ambient sounds to Hip Hop,Jazz,Disco and on to good ol House music with anything else in-between! 

I continue to record guest mixes for stations around Europe and hopefully beyond in the future ,
Thank you for checking out my page and I hope you enjoy my mixes.
