Welcome, Bienvenidos, Willkommen, Bienvenue! Wherever you are on Planet Progressive, hello again! This is, and will always be your exclusive weekly Progcast from PFG, and as we begin 2023, our search for the DJs and Artists to provide them for you continues unabated. 

New year, New DJ! Pressing home our remit of looking for a new wave of talent, we've travelled to the other side of the world this week and found one. Although in the game a while now, he's maybe not someone you know of. We aim to help change that.. make some noise for Tasman ! 

Tasman (Rohann) is a DJ and Producer based in Auckland, New Zealand, who is highly focused on finding great tunes and an ear for new sounds. 

With over 20 years collecting, playing and indulging in electronic music, Rohann has a passion for well made and constructed music and an ear for quality. Over the years he has DJ'ed at many of Auckland’s clubs, and been involved with supporting international talent. DJ's such as Danny Howells, Martin Roth and Phil K have had Rohann warm their crowds for them.

His sound has been greatly influenced by the underground legends you all know so well, while adding his own twist to it. He has been making steps into the production process in the past few years, and had success with tracks released on labels such as Future Avenue and Stazis. 

More releases are planned for 2023 with both Future Avenue and Polyptych Limited too, so keep an eye out. Overall his goal is to create soundscapes to move you both inside and out.

"I really tried to capture my sound in this mix and it moves about a little through the ebbs and flows. It includes some of my favourite artists and labels and also some of my own work. I hope the group enjoys it, I cannot say thank you all enough for the opportunity and for lending your ears"

PFG The Progcast -Episode 149 - Tasman (NZ)

Purveyor of all things funky and deep........

Progressive Sounds - Waikanae - New Zealand

As a kid from the UK growing up in 1980s Manchester, I was privileged to live through the Factory records era and enjoy the booming music scene as It reshaped the city's image from 'dirty old town' to the global mecca of nightlife and creativity it is today.
While the warehouse and club scene was beginning to bubble away, I spent my early teens listening to mixtapes from the likes of Sasha (who began his career down the road and has curated the soundtrack of my life ever since), the DJs of the Thunderdome and Hippos (Jay and Moggy) and the legendary 808 State Show - at the age of 16 I was invited down to the Sunset studios to play a live  guest mix on the show and was booked to play my first club gig in the city, warming up at Parliament Nightclub.
I spent many years clubbing and DJing around Manchester and the City Centre, developing my DJ style taking influence from the DJs of the Hacienda, Bugged Out and Tangled and became hooked on the Progressive House scene led by Sasha, Digweed, Renaissance, Cream and the Global Underground mix series.
After a summer DJing in Cyprus in 1999, I returned to Manchester and held several residencies in bars and clubs around the City; Dry Bar, Joshua Brooks, South, the wonderful sweatbox where I'd spent my twenties bouncing, Tangled and more recently Soundcontrol.
I've been lucky to DJ with many of my idols such as Nick Warren and Jody Wisternoff, Hybrid, Ashley Casselle.
30+ years on, now living in Cairns, Australia, I'm still hunting new sounds to share with anyone who will listen to this veteran of the bedroom DJ scene.
Big love to all the producers and DJs who continue to inspire and make us dance, and to everyone who stops by for a listen, encouraging me to carry on x
