Hello Everyone and welcome once more to our exclusive podcast. Every week we deliver a one off DJ set from a plethora of talented electronic music artists, from around planet progressive, direct to your ears. 

Delighted to welcome todays guest DJ, and having been introduced online during the pandemic, connecting through the music and its scene and helping in some small but notable part of bringing people together in hard times. Watching his rise up through the ranks in recent years is great to see, my pleasure to introduce Ranj Kaler!

Ranj Kaler’s rise has been nothing short than meteoric. After losing his long standing DJ residency at the start of the pandemic, he used that time stuck in lockdown, to try his hand at music production. Six very short months later he was releasing music for the likes of ARRVL and Four Candles  Keep Thinking label but it was his reworks of Sade and Kate Bush that really grabbed people’s attention. 

Since then he has had a string of releases on labels such as Stripped Recordings, Configurations Of Self, Dissident, Capital Heaven and Foxtrot Alpha. 

Not one to conform to a particular genre, Ranj’s productions meld house, breaks, techno and electro which results in his own sound that has gained his music support and plays from an endless list of DJ’s including the likes of John Digweed, Nick Warren, Hernán Cattaneo and Alex Neri. 

His stuff has made him also a prolific remixer with the likes of  Hooj Choons, Pangea and Laika Sounds, to name but a few , using his skills. To that end, Ranj is currently sitting at number one in Beatstats Electronica Hype artists. Ranj also hosts The Midweek Recovery every week on London Music Radio, and has laid down epic mixes for top platforms like Balance ... and this one, enjoy! :)

The Progcast - Episode 248 - Ranj Kaler

Gus F is a musician, producer and DJ based on the beautiful island of Jersey. Gus won the global Sasha / Last Night On Earth DJing competition with a popular breaks mix just before the Covid pandemic sent the world into lockdown. He has been busy with productions, mixes and events since; dreaming up and broadcasting Secret Sunset to showcase new music at iconic locations around the beautiful island of Jersey and producing popular bootleg remixes from the likes of Kate Bush, London Grammar and Billie Eilish. Gus's first signed remix reached #1 on Beatport in the Electronica genre; a deep house version of Darkersound's "Through The Night" on Stripped Recordings. A number of other remixes were signed to Emotional Content and Music To Die For in late 2021. A massive remix of Bronski Beat's iconic Smalltown Boy was finally released in summer 2022 with Jimmy Somerville's blessing, almost 2 years and 1 million streams after a bootleg version was first aired at Secret Sunset.
