Hello Everyone!! Wednesday has come back round again, and so therefore has this, our exclusive weekly Progcast. Come with us as we travel in search of the best DJ sets we can find, anywhere on Planet Progressive! 

Bringing the sesh back home today, we journey up to the North East of England, and a scene revitalised in recent times. Head of all things good about this revitalisation, please make some noise for our guest today .... RICCO!!

RICCO, also known as Richard Stout, is a talented DJ/Artist hailing from the North East of England. With a career that spans the realms of DJing, music creation, and event promotion, he's a prominent figure in the region's music scene.

In the mid-'90s, Richard embarked on his DJing journey, honing his craft and eventually establishing his own successful night, which enjoyed considerable longevity. 

After a substantial run in the live music scene, Richard hung up his guitar and microphone and rekindled his passion for House music. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in his musical journey, as he graced the stages of clubs and festivals alongside some of the industry's biggest names. Along the way, he co-founded events like "All Things House" in the North East, showcasing his dedication to their electronic music community.

More recently, in collaboration with his good friend Danny Jarvis, Richard played a pivotal role in launching "The Early Doors Club." This early evening event redefines the clubbing experience, allowing enthusiasts to savor the excitement of nightlife while still being home before midnight, preserving the sanctity of their Sunday mornings.

Richard's artistic vision goes beyond the booth. He's a forward-thinking DJ who continually seeks and shares new music, constantly pushing the boundaries of sound. In addition to his DJing prowess, he has embarked on the journey of music production, crafting his tracks that carry his unique musical perspective.

Dave Nico // UK Mix 18.11.23 Podcast Mix On Xbeat Radio Station

Welcome to Wednesday and another exclusive edition of the Il Modo Progcast. Join us on our journeys around Planet Progressive, as we gain access to the finest DJ talents we can, delivering mixes for your listening pleasures...

This week, on the eve of St Andrews Day, we return to the home of a (now ex-pat) proud Scotsman, who has showed us support, strength and encouragement from day one. A highly skilled DJ, who has recently turned his talents towards graphic/AI design, we are delighted to present, Garry Howden! 

Garry has been DJ'ing since 1991, where as an 11 year old he used to play the hardcore tracks that formed the entrance into a new, burgeoning rave scene. A few years later, at the age of 16 he fell in love with the trance sound of the late 1990's. 

This love soon swayed towards Progressive House however, where Garry soon discovered Sasha, John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, Nick Warren & many more of those DJ's we now describe as icons. Naturally, and like so many ravers turned DJ's, this led to Garry, and his best friend Allan, to organise and plan their own nights. Hosted in their hometown of Fort William near Glasgow, this fledgling night was called Dysfunktion.

It was here that Garry was able to fine tune his DJ skills, often warming up for the likes of John '00' Fleming, Slam and Fergie. In doing so they would turn Dysfunktion into a popular night out, based as it was away from a major population centre. 

Garry still collects many records from this style of music and has loved the Progressive sound, both the new and classic styles. He continues to play even after moving to the USA to start a new family.

 More recently, as his taste and style has matured, Garry has rediscovered a lost passion for Breaks and Liquid Drum & Bass, finding its more diverse rhythms and melodies a more exciting and challenging form of music to engage with. Having produced several guest mixes for various online platforms, as well as keeping his own residencies on Saturo & PHUK, Garry delves once more into his catalogue of broken, atmospheric beats for this, his second guest mix on our platform.

Pull my hair back

A meditative current, a balance of steady atmospheres and subtle motion. Built on expansive analog-style pads and delay-soaked textures, the piece creates a wide, immersive bed that feels endless in scope.

Tonal details drift through the mix, adding spectral color and gentle unpredictability, while low pulses anchor the soundscape without disturbing its reflective stillness. The result is hypnotic and contemplative — a sonic environment that encourages stillness and inner exploration.

Deep, spatial, and designed for listeners who want to dissolve into sound.
