In November 2020, I was asked to warm up for Anthony Pappa at Brown Alley's rooftop for the Warehouse 3000 Rooftop Summer Series. I decided to keep it chilled and smooth and I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people grooving and cheering so hard to such downtempo vibes. It was a great atmosphere!

As one of the brightest talents in the electronic music scene, Henry Saiz has crafted a unique path in his musical career. Not following any trends and refusing to fall into any category with his trademark sound that combines influences from club music and a wide range of styles like 80 ́s pop or progressive rock to name a few, his constant growth across the globe enabled him to spread his art to new audiences. In his first days as a DJ, Saiz released almost exclusively with big labels "with a focus on melody and community", as he puts it: Renaissance, Global Underground and Bedrock. He then created his own label Natura Sonoris, and by 2011 he had multiple Essential New Tunes, DJ Mag's label of the year, as well as released his critically acclaimed Balance DJ compilation. All that then gave him awards like DJ Mag Spain's 2012 Best Live Act, Best Label and Best Compilation. With his debut album titled "Reality Is For Those Who Are Not Strong Enough To Confront Their Dreams" (2013), he became one of the first musicians to crowdsource some of the album’s sounds. It's part of Saiz's self-effacing approach to even this most serious of artistic endeavours: he humbly offers to be the host of an intense, ongoing conversation between fans. Today Saiz is in a very fertile stage of his career. Still wanting to get closer to the crowd, he's returned to his first love - live bands - with an electronic trio that, apart from his solo performances, he’s also regularly touring the world with. Main highlights of the live band concept were their Boiler Room debut back in 2015 where guys delivered absolutely outstanding performance full of soul, powerful grooves, seductive vocals and thrilling emotions showing their particular approach to house music; as well as the launch of a world-traveling audiovisual project through Kickstarter in 2016 that achieved a huge success. This effort of trying to examine the relationship between environment and sound was materialized with a release of a sophomore album ‘Human‘ and a film that is a combination of both documentary and fiction. Within the same time he’s also released a debut album under his Hal Incandenza alias, launched a new label project ‘Lost Worlds Records‘, curated the new Balance compilation to celebrate a 10 year anniversary of his label Natura Sonoris, started a new project under an alias H.Haze to explore new musical terrains as a singer-songwriter, released lots of EPs, singles and remixes on such labels as Sasha’s Last Night On Earth, Suara and his own Natura Sonoris to name a few, and kept company to all of his fans every single week ever since the beginning of the pandemic with his Youtube streaming show  ́At Home With Henry ́, while also hosting a show on Spanish National Radio ‘El Laberinto‘. All that while also constantly working on new music and a bunch of other side projects. He has performed and continues performing all over the globe. He has been part of festivals like Sonar, Glastonbury, Ultra, EXIT, Creamfields and Global Gathering among others and also iconic parties like Circoloco at DC10 Ibiza. Henry Saiz is one of the Spanish artists whose constant growth has enabled him to spread his music to new audiences and is, without doubt, one of the brightest talents on the global electronic music scene. Through his music, he tries to make the world feel more deeply. He’s an artist who wants more than just your ears – he wants your heart.

Hello everyone and welcome on board our weekly exclusive Progcast. Each Wednesday we aim to transport you to another far flung dance floor on Planet Progressive, and the home of a top class DJ/artist, delivering the finest mixes we can find... 

Sean Harvey is a DJ & Producer with releases on multiple labels, including Forensic Records, Keep Thinking, Future Avenue, Dopamine and Platform S7even.

The Progcast - Episode 172 - Sean Harvey

So, 2020 huh? What a year we would all like to forget! However, throughout all of those dark days of lockdowns (Melbourne recording one of the toughest on record; 112 days!) there was always one constant; music. Whether it was watching some of my favourite DJs playing from the comfort of their own homes or listening to all the incredibly talented producers out there that have managed to keep us all sane! Thank you :)

This is my last instalment for the year and the mix has a little bit of everything in it. Some of this years' biggest tunes alongside some pretty special remixes.

I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the time to listen and support my show throughout the year. I will be back in January bigger and better than ever ;)

Stay safe wherever you are and hoping you all have the most wonderful xmas and new year!

Bean xx
