Progressive House, Share Your Thoughts.

just like to know what you guys think. In my opinion its the greatest music created, love it, share some of your tracks!
my all time favorite is bedrock - for what you dream of.

I was (am) a big fan of prog house, but it seems to be slipping by the wayside.

mind you, it's been a few years since I was 'in the scene', so much has changed I'm sure. I recall an article once that said 'prog is dead', which upset me, so I made a prog mix to show that it's not dead, lol

you can listen to the mix here (Audio Porn Productions) if you want

[/shameless self promotion off]

yeah it does seem to be slipping away a bit but in a sense i think its just going a bit more "underground", there are still some fantastic tracks out there and when someone plays one in a club or party it just makes me think that this is what its all about. i will have a listen to your mix when i have the time. do you still dj?

unfortunately no, I have very little free time in my life nowadays

Thats a pity. its a great pastime. I do a bit of producing, nothing special as of yet but it keeps me happy, maybe some day ill release somthing. of course growing is a great pastime too. im often torn between the two.

How about we post some clips of our favorite tracks?? Man Ive got loads of favorites but my all time fav is Bedrock - For What you Dream of. At the moment Guy Gerbers mix of Bedrock - Santiago is fantastic, Love the new bedrock CD. John Digweed Legend, Nick Muir Genious. Im also quite partial to Satoshii Tomiie and Shlomi Aber, Great producers.

This is the first tune i came across, I will find some of my fave's when I've got more time.

progressive house-progressive trance are pretty sweet but its all rookie stuff to the underground party genres which is almost no more, all those songs were cool in there day Im really surprised you didnt mention alice dj's. I spun at the club level and parties alike I started with the norm and had a change of rhythm I started listening to other sounds harder more aggressive beats, drum and bass ,breaks,two step, jump up, dark step ya know the goodies
dementional entity - by tee bee
anything by danny the wildchild
LTJ bukem
ak 1200 alongside MC navigator
and have come to appreciate sigma from the UK
ed rush and optical
ANDY C-molten beats (fuckin classic )
I still have that soft spot for party music I find myself listening to alot of older oakenfold, and BT , lustral, nalin cane,Marcus shultz_ you wont see me cry, anyone from moonshine between 97-thru 02 other than keoki , I think I could ramble off for another hour or so but the fact is I love music


fav song from the era is expander -sasha + digweed

alice dj??? you spa. drum and base??? your saying d&b is more prvalant than progressive house??? i dont think so. check how many d&b tracks are on http://www.beatport.com and then check progressive house. get your facts straight.

i know a lot of people that are into D&B..its just not for me..i just cant get into it the beats dont sound smooth and rythmic...

and D&B is for sure not any where NEAR the popularity that house music has...ANY genre of house

dannyking you get all ur tunes from beatport? i fucking LOVE beatport its really the only place to find any tracks...well at least here...the music is big but its really hard to find, im sure in portugal its much easier to get this music judging by its popularity in europe

Well yeah I buy a lot from beatport, even fork out the extra euro for the wav files, just because they are better for editing than compressed mp3's, I'm not really in portugal, dont like the music scene there, I'm uk, I've also got a lot of vinyl, I only buy rarities in vinyl anymore though, I'm quite liking a lot of tech house at the moment, cant wait to start DJ'ing properly again, been focusing on production for a while now.

And yeah I think europe and the UK really are the centre of electronic music, You yanks do have some fantastic DJ's such as Dave Seaman and Danny Howells but the scene is just so much bigger over here, You should look up Dance Valley on you tube or also lowlands, or creamfields, homelands, Global Gathering to name but a few. London is also a fantastic place to visit if you want the music scene, I love Church, a Nighclub that opens early on Sunday morning to cure those hangover blues!!!

no ,not drum and base, its the word bass because its chuck full of nasty bass.
ya know if everyone jumped off of a bridge would you do it , I didnt think so just because something is popular that doesnt make it better Im sure its all personal preference , I seen the scene come and go ,a few times in many different cities. I love music period ,,no argument

you are the one who said ''progressive house-progressive trance are pretty sweet but its all rookie stuff to the underground party genres which is almost no more, all those songs were cool in there day''. Which is 100 percent wrong. I was simply stating that it is still going very very strong and coming back with a vengeance. And progressive house is not the more popular music genre at the moment at all it simply has the highest quality production values. And if your looking for heavy bass Progressive house is famous for its Intricate and melodic bass lines. D&B has messy, unorganised and amateur Basslines compared to Progressive house.

yeah dude i went to london when i was 16 so i didnt know much or get to do that kind of shit...really just did the tourist BS...but the city is beautiful and ive been wanting to ge back for soooo long...i just want to go clubbing there, i mean San Francisco is a awesome club scene but i know its nothing like London...and i hate hip hop clubs and i know theres not as many there at all

but house truly is my favorite genre of music by far...and all sub-genres like progressive and electro...i dont discriminate if the beat sounds good ya know?

you into dubstep? i know thats really big over there in the UK (where it was invented haha) but its getting big here and i cant get enough...
