AMBER LONG
From the bustling streets of Toronto, Amber Long makes waves with her signature sound. Supported by top-tier artists and blessed with a voice that soothes souls near and far, she has charmed audiences across countries such as Australia, the USA, the UK, the Netherlands, Greece, Spain, Qatar, Mexico, Argentina, Jamaica, and throughout her homeland, Canada. She's smashed through the glass ceiling with her music and collaborations, which have been signed to multiple prestigious labels.
Amber's passion for spinning is not limited just there; not only does she travel everywhere but also runs an independent label Modern Agenda - an independent label home to producers who are being championed for their work in Progressive House and Melodic Techno, primarily.
Amber launched the LIA Series in 2021, a series of guest mixes highlighting up-and-coming female and female-representing artists from around the globe. Amber has also been hosting Frisky Radio's Rogue Radio Show since 2017 and has been involved with The Canadian Juno Awards for many years now.
With music coursing through every vein of hers, it's easy to see why Amber believes in its power to heal us all.

STEVE FINNEY
Steve Finney is a talented DJ who grew up in the UK listening to the classic trance and rave tracks of the 90's. Now based in Ottawa, he loves to listen to and mix a more chilled out and mellow sound using the best of organic and progressive tracks. However, those 90's trance synth and pad sounds still permeate through, with the tribal sounds of the rave era also prevalent.
Steve is a resident DJ with Ottawa Prog Vibes and was curator of the Mellow Prog Vibes series for two years. He was a monthly resident on the Abyss Sound Experience show, on (UK) and is currently a weekly resident on Blast the Radio (Ottawa). Steve is also delving into production.
