Alain Pauwels is a progressive house DJ/producer based near Antwerp, Belgium.
Led by a profound love for electronic music, surrounded by passionate professionals, practitioners, and a supportive progressive house family, Alain has been driven to share his passion for mixing sublime tracks and bringing joy across all boundaries.
Inspired by pioneers in the scene such as Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, and Marcelo Vasami amongst others and many well-respected labels, Alain started to dedicate himself to creating uplifting progressive house mixing, with an occasional flavor of deep house, organic house and melodic techno.
As from end-2018, Alain has his own ‘PROGRESSIVA’ show on Proton Radio, a US-based digital radio station that also runs its own record label. Alain invites every month an international artist to provide a guest mix for the show. Alain also has a residency on XBeat Radio, a French/Belgian digital radio station, providing his monthly ‘Elements’ podcast.
His live DJ performing path re-started in mid-2019 after a sabbatical of nearly 20 years coming from the vinyl age. In that same year, he became, and to date still is, a resident at the Connecting Souls Nights by Clay van Dijk. Ever since Alain has performed in clubs and on events where he shared the decks with Hermanez, Eran Aviner, Madloch, Lost Desert, Kasper Koman, Nicolas Rada, Marcelo Vasami, Alex O’Rion and Dmitry Molosh amongst others.
As from end-2019, Alain has started a collaboration with French producer Arnold Toutain, which resulted to date in productions that are released on Nature Rec, Musique de Lune, Future Avenue, 3rd Avenue, and INTU Music.
Each release has been supported by ‘El Maestro’ Hernan Cattaneo and many other well-respected artists in the community. Also, Alain has started a collaboration with Argentinian DJ/producer Valen Gonzalez, first releases are expected during 2024.
Alain is now also part of the Movement Bookings family, teaming up with artists like Alex O’Rion, Navar, Ruben Karapetyan, and Hobin Rude, among others. Watch out for Alain, as the coming years will bring more new music and gigs, which makes him here to stay!
