Alain Pauwels

Alain Pauwels is a progressive house deejay based near Antwerp, Belgium.
Led by a profound love for progressive house music, surrounded by passionate professionals, practitioners and a supportive progressive house family, Alain Pauwels has been driven to share his passion of mixing sublime tracks and to bring joy across all boundaries.
Inspired by amazing deejays and producers such as Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Guy J, Marcelo Vasami, Graziano Raffa and many more artists from the Sudbeat, The Soundgarden, Lost & Found family and other well-respected labels, Alain has been encouraged on his mixing and sound creation and started sharing his mixes under the PROGRESSIVA concept on Soundcloud.
His dedication to provide uplifting progressive house mixing, with an occasional flavor of deep house, organic house and melodic techno, has eventually been recognized in November 2018 by respected deejays in the Amsterdam progressive house scene which got him in touch with the Proton Radio station, which led to the point that Alain was requested to provide a VS guest mix. This resulted vastly in clinching his spot in the Proton Radio resident DJ-team with his own monthly PROGRESSIVA show which started in March 2019. Apart from the Proton radio show, he is also performing monthly on the Belgian internet radio station XBEAT.
He started to play gigs in June 2019 at private progressive house parties. Alain has been performing as from then frequently at Club NL, an Amsterdam club icon and “must go” during Amsterdam Dance Event. He became resident at the Connecting Souls nights organized by the much-respected Dutch DJ Clay van Dijk.
As from October 2019 Alain has started producing with French producer Arnold Toutain, which resulted in first release “Ginger Mercury”, available on Nature Rec, being played straight away by Hernan Cattaneo on the Resident show end November 2019. Each release thereafter has been played by El Maestro. Since 2020 releases are available on Nature Rec and as from October 2021 also on Future Avenue.
