Meet the Resident DJ's

---

Paul first started to DJ in 1990 . He experienced the early dance culture and movement which has developed into the music scene of today. He had the pleasure in working and playing alongside some of the biggest names in the game, including Carl Cox, Timo Maas, Shades of Rhythm, K Klass, Hybrid , Nick Warren to name a few... For that Decade, He was resident at the two most prominent southwest clubs, The Warehouse and The Academy, which welcomed all the world renowned DJ’s of the time, along with travelling the length and breadth of the UK guesting at various nights.  He also promoted his own nights in the Plymouth area along with working with record labels including Urban Collective. A break from the music scene to concentrate on his new family and career, Paul moved away from the music thing for a while, then a few years ago, contact with a local influential figure, Loukas pour Hashemi, got Paul back into the music which led to the inception of melodic beats podcast. Paul wanted an outlet for the music he loved and the podcast seemed like the sensible and most viable option...  Following the birth of Melodic Beats Podcast, Paul enlisted the help of Tim French and Apostille who shared the passion for the music.  Shortly after realising the want and will to progress the Melodic Beats Music brand, Paul formed Melodic Beats Recordings to put out the music he was passionate about, mainly as a platform for Tim, Apostille and himself. This then quickly grew as an outlet for artists who just struggled to get their music heard, and now an outlet for established Artists…. The one piece missing was putting on events, which was something he knew so well, so this was addressed and Melodic beats events was born. Even with the world turning upside down in 2020,  our first event, hosting Anjunadeeps Jody Wisternoff was a sell out and now 2021 is well and truly getting planned out……

To date, Melodic Beats Music has grown to a level which has surpassed expectations and support from some influential figures in todays industry has been humbling. The love and passion for all new music of things deep, melodic and progressive has been fully re-ignited!!!! 

Tim spent the Nineties successfully playing to large audiences across the South West including renowned nights Scream & United held at Plymouth’s legendary Warehouse. He also played many popular clubs and nights such as Drop Zone & Boss Nova at the Sound Factory (Plymouth), The Monastery (Torquay), The Grove (Seaton) as well as various other venues throughout the Westcountry. Throughout this time, Tim also held residencies at Shine & Eyecon at the Dance Academy and The Candy Store in Plymouth. This saw him play alongside dance music greats such as Danny Howell’s, Quivver, Lee Burridge, Billy Nasty, Parks & Wilson, Nippa, Jose C, Breeze, Alan Luvdup, Tom Wainwright and Mark EG to name a few.

Whilst enjoying playing the new music, Tim also wrote reviews for several well-known scene publications such as Wax Mag, The Scene and the newly formed Dot Music website for this new fangled thing called the Internet. After the millennium and frenetic pace of the ’90s, Tim fell out of love with Dance music and the scene in general and moved to California. On his return in 2002, he started playing again and for a short time running a night at Bar Fuel. Settling down and having a family saw him drift away from Dance music again. Fast-forward to present day and Tim has rediscovered his love of dance music. Gripped by the vast amount of quality releases out there he made the jump from vinyl to digital mixing and is embracing his rekindled love of all things Prog and Melodic.

Sam took his first steps as a DJ at the age of 17, playing at after hours clubs and back rooms of various clubs in Plymouth.  He then moved to Cardiff where he became a regular on the South Wales scene with a residency for One Mission.  This saw him play alongside some of the biggest names in the industry and at renowned venues such as the Hippo Club and the Emporium.  Sam won Muzik magazine's prestigious "Bedroom Bedlam" DJ competition in 2000 leading to more high end gigs.  Career highlights include playing alongside Judge Jules in Cardiff to a packed audience of 1,800 for Slinky.  Heavily influenced by the progressive house DJ's of that era, Sam is renowned for his long sweeping mixes and has started to use a sampler as part of his regular set up for a hybrid DJ/live performances.

Alex Efe, was born in Montevideo, Uruguay and started his connection with music from an early age, with influences from such greats as Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode. 

His early DJ influences came from the likes of Sasha, Digweed, Nick Warren, and Hernan Cattaneo to name but a few…..

Alex promotes various nights in Uruguay under the banner of Clubbing MVD. He’s also had various releases of his own new music productions on such labels as Beat Block records, UY records, Droid 9 and electronic groove records. 

We are extremely excited to welcome him to Melodic Beats where he has provided us with over 70 minutes of the finest in South American Deep, Melodic and progressive loveliness…….

Kelly fell in love with the whole dance scene at a very early age, experiencing Gatecrasher was a monumental moment for her which gave her the drive to get behind the decks. Kellys first DJ slot was at the Iconic Passion at the emporium and she hasn't looked back, first forging her career on the trance sound but over the last few years Kellys sound has slowed down to the melodic progressive house music you hear today. You can hear Kelly at various nightclubs around the UK as her diary is ever expanding.

Jeff is everything a local legend is about. He has played at many of the largest organised events in the land from the beginning of the whole dance movement alongside the biggest names in the game. He has remained an absolute constant in the music scene remaining prominent and ahead of the game with his track selection, in whatever genre he turns to..Jeff adapts his mixing skills to many genres, of which his roots take him to Drum and Bass and breakbeat but his mix here for Melodic Beats shows his versatility and his passion for all music types... Jeff continues to be one of the most talked about DJ's in the southwest, playing at all the main festivals and clubs around.... He is a true gent and legend...

Beginning his career in 1990, DJ’ing at some of the early Plymouth raves, Phil soon became household name in the South West, holding residencies at the Plymouth Warehouse with Cultural Vibes and later Scream. Playing across the UK as well as spots in Europe throughout the 90s, he shared line ups with some of the best DJs in the World, including Sasha and John Digweed, to name just a couple. Also dipping into production, he had several releases on the local Urban Collective label, as well as remixing tracks for labels such as Whoop!, Limbo and DMC. Now back as a resident DJ at Cultural Vibes in their new Hanging Gardens venue, Phil is still delivering seamless, technical mixes of the very best in current melodic house and tech

Paul Hawcroft cut his musical teeth in the 90s at the Plymouth Warehouse, where on a weekly basis he was spoiled with quality progressive house, with Sasha, Dave Seaman, Nick Warren, John Digweed & many more playing regularly. A live Radio 1 broadcast from Scream in 1996 (with Pete Tong & Nick Warren) heightened an already passionate interest in DJing.
The next two decades were spent with numerous gigs in the UK & internationally, with appearances at Ministry Of Sound, Ibiza & many Southern gigs. An interest in production followed with Paul releasing his debut, dedicated to his son Seren. Seren's Dream touched down in 2016 on Discover, receiving great support, & the bug well & truly struck.
DJ support on his productions for Discover, Mondo, Future Soundz & Baroque led to Mark Knight, Danny Tenaglia, B-Traits, Aly & Fila, Cosmic Gate, Kyau & Albert, Jaytech, Tilt, Danny Rampling, Genix & many more of his musical heroes & influences playing his tracks. When feedback came from Paul Oakenfold for one of Paul's tunes saying he 'really liked and wanted to hear more', thanks to the help of Perfecto Black's Oliver Harper, Paul's debut 'Touch' came out in 2018. Paul has since made many originals for Perfecto Black.
 

Further signings & remixes for leading progressive labels FSOE Parallels, Black Hole Avanti, Bonzai Progressive, Lost Language, ASTIR & remixes for Solar Storm including a remix of Jan Johnston's timeless classic 'Flesh' which has received global acclaim.

Jawjee started DJing at the ripe old age of 15 on a pair of SoundLab belt drive turntables, mixing vinyl and within months he was playing trance and listening to music on labels such as Platipus. Jawjee gained his first residency in a bar in Gloucester when I was 16 and over the next 15 years held residencies at numerous bars and clubs around the Gloucester and Cheltenham areas.
 

Around 2010 Jawjee started to dabble with productions and this fitted perfectly with his ability to play the piano to a decent level, so he worked hard at learning "ableton live" inside and out and then started a synth obsession which is where most of my spare cash went.
Jawjee had his first track signed in 2017 on Pro B Tech Records and since then have had over 20 releases, been remixed by the likes of Phil Hartnoll (Orbital), Boy Bianchi, Jaap Ligthart, Hernan Cattaneo and more, many of them my idols.
 

Jawjee formed part of the duo that started the Witcombe cider festival which is now a 15,000 capacity medium sized festival, which in turn led to the inception of the Prog Lab, to enable him to steer his love towards the underground dance scene.  That along with other smaller events in the Bristol area, has seen the Prog Lab grow into the huge success it is today, attracting some of the biggest names in the progressive world.

Jawjee, through his successes with his events, has guested and played amongst some of the great names in the industry, which does not seem to be slowing.

Born in the North East and brought up in the South West, Matt Black has been DJing and making music for around 25 years. He moved to London in 1991 where he discovered his love for dance music and raving and even though his original love was hardcore and drum and bass it was upon hearing a John Digweed mix tape back in 1994 that he realised his musical calling in life.

Matt began by playing in pubs and bars around South London before getting his first club gig in 1995. Since then he has played for a number of London's biggest underground promoters as well as Empathy in Bristol, Riff Raff in Middlesbrough and The Gallery in London where he warmed up for none other than Dave Seaman, he has also performed in countries such as Poland and Mexico.

 Always looking to the future, never slow to push the boundaries, Mick Wilson radiates dancefloor finesse behind the decks and in the studio. An integral part of the dance music scene since it was in its infancy, he began his career as part of the DJ and Production duo Parks and Wilson in the Acid house/Rave days of the late ‘80s working through the shifts in the scene and the development of emerging genres throughout the ‘90s into the ‘00s and beyond… His knowledge of electronic music is unfounded.

DJing around the world for close to three decades, gracing many of the world’s famous club nights and parties has seen Mick share the decks with some of the scene’s most revered names as well as up and coming future stars.

On a production level, his releases have graced many a dancefloor. Signed to a host of dance music defining labels as well as hitting up remix duties for some of the world’s most in demand artists the discography and achievements is a lengthy read.

The wide-spanning influences which shape his productions are testament to his deep roots as an artist. A direction to explore underground electronic house music taking in varying influences from various genres. The dance floor-ready releases look back to the classic sound of house music, whilst moving ahead with the forward thinking sounds of now.

In addition to a lifetime served behind the decks and in the studio, Mick Wilson is one of the longest serving members of the DJ Mag Team. He has been DJ Mag’s Tech Editor for over ten years bringing to the job an extensive knowledge of music production and performance technology. In this fast paced and ever changing landscape Mick Wilson is regarded as one of the scene’s foremost voices on DJ, production and music technology, working closely with many of the industry’s top names in the research, design and application of new technologies that DJs and producers get to use on a daily basis. His Tech Section in the magazine is in no doubt one of the most informative DJ/Production reads available to anyone interested in the technological side of electronic and dance music culture.

His passion for the scene has not waned and his forward thinking, free flowing attitude to all things electronic music related is an insight into a no holds barred journey, a love affair that started as a hobby and quickly developed to becoming a way of life.

Whether behind the decks in the studio or commentating on the next evolution of dance music technology rest assured it will embody a simple ethos - simply no boundaries, open minded, engaging musical ideology.

Paulo Rivera born in April 1987, Lima Peru, had a quite remarkable musical inclination on the part of brothers, from very small frequenting music stores where little by little you feel a great interest in bands like New Order, Depeche Mode, Simply Red, despite with few sources that was taking place. In the period from 1995 to 1998 were around their favorite musical genres to the Hip Hop, Grunge and New Wave. It was in mid-1999 which has a strong affinity and respect for electronic music, from his knowledge alone often hear the sets they produced the great djs at the time such as Paul Oakendfold, Hernan Cattaneo, Way Out West, Underworld, Satoshi Tomiie, Mara. It's mid 2001, where he has been mixing school and music theory from the date the predominant style is Progressive House in a style that accompanied him from the beginning and now still stands, then went exploring into other styles like progressive goa, progressive psy and later the deep house.

Biographies are not a thing that I like to read, especially DJ ones. Most of them come with the “I have loved music since I was a baby…”, “House Music was love at first sight (or hearing)... So don’t worry, because I’m not going to make it sound like I’m being booked by the Top 10 best Night-clubs ever every night. I’m not going to say how I only play because of my deep love for music. That’s not what you are going to read here.

What you are going to read here is simply how I am the DJ that you have been looking to play at your parties, your Cocktail Bar, your Beach Club, your VIP Lounge, your radio station.

By the end of this biography, you are going to be sure that my experience of more than two decades as a DJ has made me the best option for all of your exclusive events.

The fact is I loved pop music years before I even heard of house. I was a child of the Madchester era and still listen to some of it. I like Depeche Mode, New Order, Bananarama and Simply Red and I’m not afraid to confess I own complete catalogues of the Pet Shop Boys and Erasure on vinyl and my favourite album as a kid was for many years Erasure: The Innocents - I wore the cassette out, which made my Dad invest in a CD player for me at Christmas time the same year.

The first 7-inch I bought was 'Never Gonna Give You Up' by Rick Astley, the first album 'Actually' by the Pet Shop Boys and the first 12" was 'Domino Dancing' by the Pet Shop Boys. Maybe this is not everyone's cup of tea, but it's who I am.

So how did I get here? Well, 25 years ago a friend put into my hands on a Sasha BBC Radio One Essential Mix-tape, and that’s when it all started to change.

I didn't want to be a DJ to avoid dancing in public, to attract girls and get free drinks, I just liked playing good tunes to friends. In the years since I've DJ'd out and about occasionally and had the best night ever each and every time, but I'm honest enough to know I'm not really a high talented DJ and I really have been lucky to see a few at work and I’m glad for that.

During these 25 years, both DJ's and labels have come and gone, and my success has been especially due to the faith and support of the people who are important to me.

In recent years, I have taken my music to many places and Eastern Europe, especially Montenegro and Croatia, where in 2019 I was booked to perform for 12 nights consecutively at the the Croatian Open ATP Tennis Tournament in Umag within various Beach clubs and VIP cocktail lounges.

As someone who has regularly up-dated his skills at London Sound Academy and has been playing progressively for the last 25 years throughout Europe, and also as someone who learnt with vinyl and now uses CDJ's, I can claim to know what I am doing, in theory at least.

Although I have developed a style that suits perfectly for the venues that I like to play (Beach Clubs, Cocktail Bars, VIP Lounges, Exclusive Restaurants), what I value the most is that I am always focused on enhancing the overall experience rather than imposing my own style as an artist, and I think that differentiates me from other DJ's.

My weekly “Thru The Looking Glass” Podcast show seemed like the natural progression of what I have been doing, and thanks to the help of radio stations like Data Transmission Radio and Influx Radio, it is have developed brilliantly with a great following who really appreciate the deep melodic dreamy house music that I showcase each week , and I’m very proud of it's success.

So if you want to know more about my music, you can check it out within my Soundcloud, Mixcloud, iTunes and YouTube Channels. Also, If you think you could use my services to help you enlighten your club party, venue, event or Radio Station; please just make contact, as I would be glad to help in any way that I can.

Simply; for me, it’s all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove… playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realising it, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date.

DJ Joma.

Records, Ministry of Sound and, of course, Renaissance. 

In 1992 Renaissance was in its infancy. The Residents were the almighty Sasha and Digweed, Nigel was in esteemed company to say the least, making it one of the hardest stages on which to make an impression. But impress Nigel did and forged his own residence which survived up to Renaissance closing in 2007.

Nigel’s talent and penchant for hard work established him as a regular on the UK club circuit throughout the 90’s and 00’s playing at such club greats as The Tunnel, The Pod, Lush, Slinky and Ministry of sound to name but a few. He held residences at The Cross in London, Media in Nottingham and of course the legendary Renaissance. Guesting at various clubs throughout the UK and Worldwide, he established an impeccable global reputation with dates in such places as Australia, South Africa, USA, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Ibiza, Canada, Russia, China, Amsterdam Luxemburg, Switzerland, Spain, Greece, Belgium, Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Finland and beyond.

In 1996 Nigel started his producing career and the pseudonym Dominion with his first track, The Gate, being signed to the legendary progressive house label, Whoop! Records. This was an instant success with progressive house fans and was included on the Renaissance Mix compilation Vol 4, from Dave Seaman and lan Ossia. 

Throughout the 90’s and 00’s Nigel continued to release on Whoop! Records, along with various remix work and mix compilation CD’s one of which, Renaissance Presents, with Iain Ossia which sold a staggering forty-thousand copies worldwide gaining him massive critical acclaim and is cited to this day by many as an album of influence.

Retiring from DJing in 2008 saw Nigel move to Australia to settle down and concentrate on his family but the lure of thumping beats and throbbing bass lines was all too much and 2020 sees Nigel making a triumphant return to the scene. Gaining control of his back catalogue with a series of remix releases planned, including the likes of GMJ, Matter, Kiz Pattinson, Trip Switch, DJ Rudy, Menkee, Jaap Ligthart, Nila and Melodic Beats’ own Tim French, coupled with several high profile radio and podcast mixes under his belt, the future is certainly looking good for this progressive house legend.

Australian, Matt Rowan, has been at the vanguard of the progressive, deep and tech house movement since the late 1990s. A classically trained musician with DJ credentials of the highest order, his residency at Sydney's leading progressive night, SweetChilli was the catalyst for a career that has grown rapidly in the twin spheres of production and club performance. Playing alongside such homeland legends as Chris Fortier, Anthony Pappa and Steve Porter plus a host of international stars, Rowan carved out a niche sound that would see regular DJ appearances at home and across the globe to rapturous acclaim.

A DJ career established; production work that began in 2006 achieved immediate success. Collaborative work with industry heavyweight, Jaytech, saw the track "Tomorrow" licensed to Dave Seaman's "Renaissance Masters Series Part 7", while a twin-track EP was signed to Nick Warren's Hope. Further success followed and Rowan's production portfolio engages a host of industry leading labels and artists. Baroque, Curvve, Outside The Box and Armada sit loftily alongside industry stalwarts such as, Danny Bonnici, Kriece, Derek Howell and Dousk, as production work alternated with multiple DJ compilations for leading imprints.

2008's "I Play This" saw a debut album received to critical acclaim while Matt Rowan's work for Proton has been in bountiful supply since a first appearance in 2006. A surfeit of original productions and remixes has graced the imprint, culminating in 2012's stunning, "Basics" album. Fifteen tracks of blistering quality showcased Rowan's unique production talents in the tech and progressive house arenas, supported by the likes of Ad Brown, Zack Roth and Mango

Fabrizio Marra is an artist that continues to evolve and develop

with consummate ease. New sounds, new developments and new frontiers;

they all remain an instrumental part of his thrust forward as one

the planet’s leading underground House music tastemakers.

As a producer he continues to smash preconceptions about not only his style

but the wider spectrum of House and Techno as well.

His style remains perfectly emblematic of the dance floor dexterity needed

in the modern clubspace, bringing the seductive groove and swing of

classic house just as readily as the energy of techno.

There are few who balance musical maturity with an exciting creative edge,

and it’s the experience informed from his illustrious past combining with

the forward thinking surge to the future that makes his musical manoeuvres

so irresistibly potent.

Like many in the underground dance community, Samer Salhab’s musical journey began with a place: Club Simon’s in Gainesville, Florida. For the bright-eyed young music fanatic, Club Simon’s acted as a catalyst for his passion for underground House music, fuelled by discovering a world of super talented artists and a new desire to collect their tracks and weave sonic stories of his own through DJing. After hard work and tons of practice, things started to come together for Samer. He left Gainesville for Tampa to finish his education, but took his love for dance music with him. His growing collection of House, Progressive, and Trance began to form a style that became known in the local club scene in Ybor City - the center of Tampa's nightlife. There, his he began to catch the ears of club goers and he slowly started making a name for himself. 

Samer’s chance meeting with Bill Vines (The Maji) at Chakra Records, Tampa kick started his career into overdrive. Bill’s mentoring gave Samer a good grounding in production and DJing. They also set up Pangea Recordings. Working together as Evrydaydowers, they began to pick up gigs across Tampa which lead to them producing their first EP - A New Beginning.“Quality wise, this was a first production, but I remember receiving a compliment from Brother Brown at the WMC. Being that he was one of my heroes, that's when I knew we were heading in the right direction,” Samer says. The early 00s proved to be a very successful time for Samer but soon he began to look further afield at the bright lights of California. In 2002 he finally made the move to San Diego and slowly began to build his name in the local scene warming up for luminary international DJs. Aside from his own personal success, Pangea’s influence was further enhanced by the likes of Sasha regularly playing and charting their releases, indeed, Samer recalls a surreal moment at WMC 2003 where he heard Sasha drop “This World” (Pangea’s first globally distributed release) to a highly receptive Miami crowd. With the success of Pangea Recordings, Samer decided to expand Pangea by creating sister labels Pangea UK, 1Shot Recordings, and digital spawns for them as well. “The San Diego scene was pretty chill compared to LA and San Francisco, which allowed me to get a lot of work done and allowed me to release more records.” Samer says, “Also, I got so many great demos it was tough to stay focused on just progressive music. I needed another outlet to release other types of tunes, and that’s why we formed the sister labels.” 

Unfortunately, Samer and Bill have decided to take different paths in recent times, but this hasn’t slowed Samer down as he now DJing across the country at some of the best parties on the planet; from Ultra, Miami with Deadmau5, Sasha and John Digweed to Love Fest in San Francisco and beyond. These days, Samer is concentrating more on his original productions and writing music under his own name. He has signed solo outings and remixes on very well respected international labels such as Spundae Music, Baroque Records, Old SQL and more. Samer’s podcast - Pangea Recordings Podcast - has aided him in pushing his sound to a worldwide audience with thousands of devoted and faithful listeners. It is safe to say that Samer is still one of America’s most exciting DJs and producers. 20 years in the making, DJ Samer is still that wide eyed music fan looking forward to the weekend where his favourite DJs spin the greatest music in the World at Club Simons. 

Jake Hobbs has been around in the music scene since the early 90's. He started djing with vinyl on 1210's and his love of drum and bass was a reflection of the Bristol rave era at that time. Spin the turntables forward three decades and Jake's heart has firmly found its place in the deep house scene. His ewoh series and other shows uploaded onto his Soundcloud page over the last 18 months have gained him a loyal fan base. Jake produces two radio shows - Deep Mondays and Friday Night Fiesta. Both aired live on Beach Radio and streamed to his twitch channel. In August of this year he supported Jody Wisternoff at Night Tales in London for not one but two shows in a day. Jake delivered both opening and closing sets. More recently Jake appeared with the Jvnc Collective supporting Oliver Smith at Brixton Courtyard. And if that wasn't enough for one weekend he also played for ARRVL the follwing day in Tottenham! Keep an eye out for Jake as he continues to gain momentum and recognition as a deep house DJ with soul.

There are points in every artist's musical journey that highlight a sea change or a shift in consciousness. The first of those moments for Roberto Sodano was the time he saw Kraftwerk as a spotty teen with dodgy 80’s haircut. Their machine funk

sound completely captivated him and his love of all things electronic began. Born in Wales to Italian parents, the ’Taffia’ as they were affectionately known, finally relocated to London after stints all over the UK and Central Europe.

Growing up in a bleak post-industrial city drove Roberto’s need to escape through all manner of musical discovery: experience borne out in his esoteric musical influences of 80s and 90s shoegaze, from bands such as Ride, MBV and the Cocteau Twins

through to synth pioneers including the aforementioned Kraftwerk and a pre-Dare Human League.

“Music has always been there for me. It’s a friend that doesn’t judge you, a comfort blanket and a kick up the arse when you need it.”

Choosing to make music as much as become a DJ, Roberto released tracks under a range of pseudonyms before finally settling on his current nom-de-plume ‘Audioglider’. 

His big break came with the licensing of two tracks under the new project name

– Whiskers and Zusammenallein – for Nick Warren’s Global Underground CD, GU30 Paris. 

“These were my first official releases as Audioglider, it’s all been downhill from there!” he quips, as he’s now held in high regard by an army of fans and industry insiders alike.

A master of both uptempo club tracks and more winsome downtempo fayre, he cites influences as wide ranging as Ulrich Schnauss, Massive Attack and School of Seven Bells for his more cerebral back catalogue additions which includes four albums

for Tripswitch’s Section Records – two solo - Accidental Beauty and Subaquamarine and two with music maven Xspance - Kollision and Sensory Reception.

Referencing his influences can be heard as echoes on everything that Roberto does, while at the same time, they glisten in their own unique light. Translucent in sound.

“I don’t stick to a formula so I can explore and develop my musical identity without boundaries.”

One of the most telling sea change events for Roberto was playing his first gig at a disused warehouse in East Berlin. “It was my very first go on 1210s and I blagged the gig after meeting some Germans at MoS.” he says, “I got a crash course at Zoom Records one afternoon from Billy Nasty and then flew to Berlin next day!” Gigs at Ministry of Sound and beyond bookmarked the 90s and early 00s, a vibrant time for dance music and for the development of progressive house.

Even now Roberto’s ambitions are as strong as ever, signing with the Origin presents artist agency at the tailend of 2019, along with industry stalwarts Anthony Pappa, Luke Brancaccio, Dale Middleton, Ian Dillon, Nadia, Zoyzi, Amber Long, Ian

Dillon and others. With a flurry of releases and remixes in 2019, 2020 and into this year on labels such as Mirabilis, Pro B Tech, Pangea, Manual, Vector Space, Melodic Beats recordings, Guerilla Movement, Emotional Content, VLSI and Tarnished Tracks, his frequent and critically

acclaimed collaborations, and new solo album on the horizon, as well as his show Interstellar on Frisky Radio, regularly crashing into their top ten, and his stunning sets at Modern Agenda’s label showcase at ADE 2018 and 19, and back to back sets with Origin agency superstar Nadia, the future is looking bright for Audioglider and his sonic doodling.

If you want to arrive with a bang, you can’t do much better than Richie Blacker. A producer forged in the Irish underground club and rave scene that ushered in the most exciting new artist in years. A DJ and producer creating something new yet giving a large nod to 90s rave scene. A soundclash of house, techno, and rave (yes, rave) records from the early 90’s melded together to create that elusive thing – an original sound of his own. His EP ‘Summer of Rave’ has been a game-changer. A nostalgic rave track thrown into the melodic house scene that sounds like nothing else, it was exclusively in the hands of Skream who played it a year before release & was kept as a secret weapon at festivals & clubs to get the crowd jumping for Richie only known as ID to many until Skream decided to release it on his 'Of Unsound Mind' label alongside two other euphoric rave tracks. Even before release, it had rapturous reactions - and a viral response on social media & consecutive spins on Radio one by the likes of Danny Howard & Pete Tong. Once it was released, it rocketed to the top of the Beatport charts at number 1 on release and stayed in there for a month. Although Richie Blacker is no stranger to the Beatport charts with both his 'Mess express EP' with Sasha's Last Night On Earth Label & his 'Voices in the Echo' on Skreams Of Unsound Mind label both jumping to the top of the Melodic House & Techno charts & having plays at many of the festivals that year by such DJs as Sasha, Jody Wisternoff, James Grant, Hernan Cattaneo, Dee Montero & many more. Following Richie's Success, he was named Radio One's Future Fire artist of 2021 & has continued 2021 strong with his first EP on Anjunadeep as well as his follow up to summer of rave on Skream's Of Unsound Mind Label 'Ecstasy Jesus' that has already been gaining a large amount of traction & is set to be a summer hit. Once the festival and music scene goes back to normal this summer you will catch Richie dropping even more incredible music & playing at all of the major festivals once it's safe to do so.

Alain M. proudly represents the 613. His weekly podcast, Ottawa Prog Vibes, consistently charts on Mixcloud’s Canadian Top 100 and has a loyal, global listenership. 

“I want Ottawa to be the first beneficiary of what I’m doing. For me it’s always been about making sure 

people know that the sound is from here, it’s part of the sound of our city, and part of what you can get in our city. I want people from other places to come to Ottawa and experience my sound as part of what makes Ottawa worth visiting.” 

Inspired by prog rock, early Dutch techno, 1990’s trance and New York house, his tastes have evolved towards 

progressive house, with a particular fondness for Argentinian productions. Over his 25+ years as a DJ, Alain has cultivated a signature melodic, danceable, and thoughtful style with enough surprises to keep even the most devout listeners on their toes. His live events, organized only a few times annually, are a hypotonic, transformational experience for attendees, putting the Nation’s Capital on the map for electronic music. 

Even while providing a sought-after, niche experience, Alain intrinsically understands the value of an intelligent radius, making him a refreshingly strategic act to booking agents. He has organized and collaborated in a number of events including Levitar, Sunday Meet & Beat, Ottawa Prog Nights and unique, COVID-safe Sit Down Sessions, attracting a thoughtful crowd who stay mesmerized by his melodic, danceable sets, always peppered with delightfully unexpected sonic elements. He is working on live and broadcast projects through the difficult COVID lockdowns, always as permitted by applicable health restrictions. 

Alain M.’s work attracts fans of DJ’s like Hernan Cattaneo, Sharam, Dubfire, Nick Warren, Eelke Kleijn, Sebastian Busto, Jody Wisternoff, Guy Mantzur, Guy J., Ezequiel Arias, Trevor Walker, Martin Villeneuve, Max Graham, Simply City, Daniel Camarillo and Frangellico.

Alain M. podcasts, on a weekly basis since May 2019, a one-hour selection of carefully selected and skilfully mixed progressive house tracks from around the world. The podcast, now a known entity in Canadian electronica, is Ottawa Prog Vibes. 

The podcast has grown to also include, every second week, guest mixes by national and international DJ’s. The roster of national DJ’s is selected to prioritize and showcase Ottawa-based DJ’s who are working tirelessly to put our city on the global electronic music map. International guests are chosen among the rising and most promising proponents of the progressive genre. 

An offshoot series, called Mellow Prog Vibes, is released occasionally and focuses on more chill vibes, slightly more downtempo, to create a more relaxed vibe. 

The episode covers have, as a backdrop, the swirling lines that remind the eye of a spinning vinyl record. The original covers also had, in place of the record’s label, the candy-red O symbol of Ottawa’s metro stations – a familiar sight on the streets of Canada’s capital city. More recent covers have either Alain M.’s wordmark or the name, photo, city and flag of the guest DJ. 

Ottawa Prog Vibes has been charting among Mixcloud’s Canadian Top 100 Electronica shows for quite some time, reaching into the top-20 range a few times. 

Alain M. is also a guest DJ submitting regular sets to several radio and online outlets. He is a resident on UK-based I’m Your DJ Radio and a regular contributor on X-Beat Radio (France, Belgium). His OPV episodes are broadcast weekly on Dinamica Radio in Santa Fe, Argentina. He has appeared as a guest on Amsterdam’s Melodic Deep Talent Podcast; Buenos Aires-based Nube Music Sessions on DI.FM and La Plata’s Neuronal Trip radio show in Argentina; Abyss Sound Experience on QuestLondon Radio in the UK; Progressive Barcelona in Spain and on Progressive House Perú. He has also appeared several times on New York-based Chill Lover Radio. 

In Canada, he has been featured as a guest DJ by Ottawa-based Music.Art.Ppl, on CHUO FM’s Vanguard Pulse Radio and on CKCU FM’s Lost In Bass. 

Legend is often the word people use when they talk about Graham Gold-one of the most influential and ground-breaking DJ’s on London’s Kiss 100 between 1990 -2004. There at the beginning of house music in 1987, he spent 5 years in the DJ Mag Top 40, when it truly meant something and has sold over 700,000 mix albums(6 x Gold Discs- British Phonographic Institute Artist). He has played in clubs and festivals in over 150 cities across 50 countries including Pacha, Amnesia, Space, Ultra Music Festival, Glastonbury, Homelands and Summadayze alongside DJ’s such as Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Steve Lawler, John ‘00’ Fleming, Roger Sanchez, Nick Warren, BT, Deep Dish, Paul van Dyke, Tiesto, Ferry Corsten to name just a few! Of course, there was and still is, his own brand, Peach which was one of the most successful club nights in the U.K. and has enjoyed 5 years of sell out reunions.

Fast forward to 2021, and whilst those heady days of global travelling are gone, he still remains very much a recognised name in the industry. He plays his deep house, progressive house, progressive trance and melodic techno at most of the cool parties on Koh Phangan, where he now lives. 2019 saw Graham grace the decks in Goa, Lisbon, Ibiza, Amsterdam and the U.K. 

Recent productions and remixes on Asymmetric, Ballroom, Patent Skillz, Bequem, Coldharbour Dynamica, Endemic, Jungle Funk, Krafted, Moon Island and P&S Music have helped cement his transition from a world-famous trance DJ into a cool underground house/techno DJ.  His big track from 1997, ‘The Lost City’ which will also have a DJ Lion remix and will be out in March 2021 on Berlin’s Patent Skillz label. 

Graham previously ran the Koolworld, Peach and Good:As record labels where he took numerous tracks from the underground and turned them into commercial successes. One of his biggest singings was Mat Darey’s ‘Liberation”’which made the UK Top 20. For 3 years, Good:As  managed the UK & Ibiza diaries of Armin, Tiesto and Ferry Corstenfrom 1998-2001. He was also a sought-after TV presenter and hosted the clubbing TV show ‘BPM’ which aired on the UK’s number one commercial channel as well presenting a few shows from WMC for MTV.

Graham has been a DJ his whole life and lived through disco, soul, jazz funk and was there at the beginning of the house music phenomenon. In 1985-1986 after years on London’s Pirate radio stations he presented the soul show on London’s Capital FM for which he won the coveted ‘Broadcaster Of The Year’ award from James Hamilton and then moved to Kiss 100FM in 1990. His real ‘craft learning years’ were at Gullivers in London’s Mayfair from 1980-1989 where he played 6 nights a week, 7 a hours a night to the capitals movers, shakers and the biggest artists in black music.  It’s no wonder clubbers and the whole industry call him a legend! He is to be found in the global online dictionary WIKIPEDIA.

His trademark chuggy grooves and squelchy rhythms are sure to satisfy his audience but there are always a few surprises along the way.

Kiz Pattison, based in Birmingham UK, started his production path 9 years ago, making re-edits to suit his djing needs. This quickly progressed to making his own original material, and soon led to remix work, and got his break when Lee Softley (Blue Amazon) included Kiz’s remix of Four Seasons on Blue Amazon’s 1st Interpretations album mixed by Renaissance legend Ian Ossia. 

Fast forward to the present and Kiz now boasts an impressive discography, in his productions he demonstrates an innate capacity to tease and voyage through a sea of dark shadowy, evolving & innovative electronic sounds with rolling percussion and his seemingly signature off beat hypnotic baselines. With his very unique take on dark progressive techno it’s little wonder Kiz has been gaining support from some of the biggest DJ’s the underground has to offer. 

The latter end of 2018 & 2019 proved to be a big 12 months or so, signing to labels such as Platipus, Bush, Dear Deer, Asymetric, Beatfreak, Perfecto Black to name just a few, and it appears there’s no sign of slowing down. In the crazy year that was 2020, Kiz continued his upward progression signing to legendary Renaissance records and Dave Seaman & Steve Parry’s  Selador. 2021 has been more of the same on the production front, signing 2 more releases to Selador, and plenty more to come. 

Add all this to this his collection of remixes for some of the underground’s finest names, including Anthony Pappa (Freefall), Simon Berry, Luke Brancaccio, Dominion (Nigel Dawson) and Pako & Frederik, on top of this, he’s attracted the likes of the super cool Stelios Vassiloudis, Hernan Cattaneo, Robert Babicz & Renato Cohen for remix duties 

More recently, Kiz has gone back to his Dj roots to extend his darker sounds from the studio to behind the decks, he’s shown he can more than hold his own having djed along side the likes of Nick Muir, Dave Angel, Quivver, Luke Brancaccio, Stelios Vassiloudis, Dubspeeka,

Addiction. Its a word with mostly sinister connotations, but for Glenn Molloy, it was his addiction to music that makes him feel alive. “I’ve always liked music.” He says, “As a child, once I realised I got goosebumps and spine tingles from listening to loud music I became immersed.” It’s a tale as old as the hills but something that bands DJs from all walks of life together: that epiphany moment. Nothing can quench the desire to search for all the music they find, always looking for the next x; the perfect beat, the warmth of a pad, the thrill of a joyous piano line. Formulating his tastes on The Prodigy, Shades of Rhythm and Altern-8 courtesy of his older brothers rave tape collection, he became fascinated by early progressive house and began to collect the Renaissance and Global Underground CDs.Growing up in Blanchardstown, Glenn wasn’t far from the 24/7 action of Dublin. It was there his fascination with dance music took hold completely at clubs like Redbox watching John Digweed weave his dystopian tale, or The Village, where Darren Emerson would destroy the dance floor. Residencies followed and Glenn built a good name for himself in the city. Now developing a club night with fellow Dubliners Soul finder, Gerard Bozyk, and Khankra called Fusion Underground, his ambition grows. With influences as disparate as Rodriguez Jr., Super Flu and Carl Cox, his style is an amalgam of melodic house and tough tech flavours that he splits between his Glenn Molloy and Gorgonoize aliases. Production continues to be his biggest adventure to date. After some masterclasses with local hero, Will Kinsella (Hybrasil), Glenn now has tracks signed to,Circus,Asymmetric,Melodic Beats Recordings with upcoming releases on Mirabilis and more. Looking forward to the future, Glenn is only getting started

Agustin Pengov Born in Villa Mercedes San Luis (Argentina) In 2016 he was fascinated with electronic music Listening to national artists such as Jorge Savoretti, Luis Nievas and Fernando Ferereyra where with this he fell in love with progressive sound. His references of the son of Progressive House: Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Nick Warren, Kamilo Sanclemente, Cid Inc among others. At the end of 2020 he started producing and has already worked for labels like Balkan Connection promising much more releases.

Although a relative newcomer to the music production world Ranj Kaler knows what works on the dancefloor with over 30 years in the game. 

Here we are delighted he has chosen to share his private rework of this Sade classic.

This cheeky rework keeps a lot of Sade’s beautiful vocal but backs it with a chunky progressive backdrop that works a treat.

One you hear it you’ll see why Ranj has got the attention of a lot of people.

"VÅRNÅ is a Progressive and Deep House DJ from Poitiers, France. Born in the 70's, VÅRNÅ got interested in music since his early youth and built himself a huge backgound from many musical styles from the good old years. After hitting the dancefloors for some decades, he now brings his sensibility in his mixes to provide a relaxing and energizing experience. As an animal lovers and former rescuers, VÅRNÅ also uses his skills to help and promote animal sanctuaries and shelters through his solidary project MOUSE THE FOX."

Ritchies' musical roots began with a passion for the trance movement in the mid 90's and that distinctive Balearic sound. His love of soulful house and disco from the likes of Soulfuric Records and Defected tuned his ears to the structure of powerful melodies, wicked vocals and hitting the club scene to appreciate it all live. Being a huge admirer of the skill of DJing and Producing, he inevitably commenced to learn the art of DJing, but fairly late in age and getting opportunities to perform in niche venues across London. Since then Ritchie has performed at venues across the UK & Ibiza, with particular focus on the Capital scene including, Horse & Groom, Egg, Ministry Of Sound, McQueen, Orange Yard, the incredible Ibiza Sunset Boat Parties, Eden and Pacha. Supporting brand promotions such as the famous Ibiza brand Pukka Up, London Sound Academy, ARRVL, The Gallery & EXiT. His style fuses a range of influences from disco, vocal & deep house right through to tech house and techno, depending on the time, space & environment. His passion and love of progressive House & Deep techno, saw him co-found events and record label brand ARRVL three years ago - focussed on showcasing the music which takes followers & fellow genre lovers on memorable, emotive, musical narratives. In the last 3 years, he has turned his attention to the production side, with a number of EP and single releases on labels such as ICONYC, Coldharbour and NYLO. And there’s much more music to come!

TD, aka Tomas Dahl from Oslo, Norway has spent the last 20 years playing in various rocks bands, recording albums and touring the world.
He started out playing drums, but soon took up guitar, bass, keys and singing. He also has his own one-man band called Caddy, where he writes everything, plays all the instruments, sings and produces. In the summer of 2015 he released his solo album to rave reviews, and Norwegian press appointed it the "album of the summer".
Sometime in the late 90s, tired of being in bands, rehearsing and touring, he was introduced by friends to the Global Underground series. Already loving bands like Kraftwerk, this was a great way to get the inspiration back. Getting on a different musical path, deep diving into electronic music, learning about its history and how a DJ can keep a crowd on a dancefloor for hours on end. 15 years later, still loving everything from Frank Sinatra and The Beach Boys to Detroit techno, progressive house and ambient, he combines elements from his many influences to create a sound of his own.

  Framewerk (aka Darren James and Alec Milliner) have been long establishing an eclectic electronic style that defies genres yet maintains a deep distinctive atmosphere throughout all their music.

Their work today as “Framewerk” showcases their diverse styles and innate abilities to create and share music that represents the best of the golden eras with a fresh, modern sound all their own.

Stereolynk are a brilliant multi-dimensional Slovenian duo currently twisting house and techno fans into rapturous fits. In the space of a few months, Stereolynk — comprised of Alex Nemec, who needs no introduction as headhoncho of well-known and respected record label Mirabillis and Nenad Putnik, a seasoned musican who not only posseses impressive guitar playing skills, but is well versed in playing a multitude of instruments while being involved in various funk, jazz and indie rock projects — have developed a dominate presence amongst the top tier of electronic dance music, with an ascension 

paralleling to the continued rise of their solo careers. 

Their first release, a remix for Berlin techno meister Joal on ICONYC Noir, provided a stunning 360-degree tour of techno at its most twisted, balancing somber atmospherics with an impeccable lightness of touch. Serving as a playground for their experimental leanings, the remix was a definitive statement of the duos past, present, and future: an affirmation of the possibility of a wider sonic spectrum that suggested a move towards stripped-down house and techno while simultaneously hinting towards a newly developed sense of melody. 

When not in the studio writing original material or putting their unique spin on tracks by a myriad of artists, the boys of impassioned, electronic music can be found showcasing their radio show on DI.FM. Their dance floor-oriented DJ sets have seen them playing in Italy, Serbia, Croatia, Austria and many other festivals. Never unconstrained by boundaries, as they effortlessly transition between techno, house and everything in between, demonstrating an immaculate understanding of the audience’s wants and needs. 

Their willingness to expand the components of their productions while staying firmly rooted in what they do best—colossal, haunting house and techno tracks overflowing with noise and static, throbbing bass lines, and epic builds that manage to be both tasteful and Stereolynk’s music is ultimately about moving bodies, not knobs, all the while giving way to an unprecedented degree of dynamism on dance floors around the world. Welcome to the wonderful world of Stereolynk!
