I gotta agree...He came out with that 5 or 6 hour mix...and id hate to say it but i really didnt enjoy it at all....

he was on another level and so unique wen i first heard him....wish he would get back the original style again. he barley plays the killer breakbeat stuff anymore.

Re: Progressive going in a new direction?

Till this day I can't get into his Bedrock album. Not to say It wasn't good, just too future for me.I did like that recent promo he had up on his site though.

Any good dj can make you like any style.
The end.

Progressive is the state of mind DJ.

Its not a good label for a genre. Calling a genre "Progressive" makes very little sense to me. However, labeling a DJ Progressive makes sense.

Re: Progressive going in a new direction?

progressive rocks. love the new sounds and tastes. this is such a good movement and always has been. taking elements from different genres and splicing them together. good stuff. can not wait for more in 2006.

This sums it up nicely. Prog is the melting pot of house music.

Also I'd like to add that this is a changing of the guard with the DJs. Many of the established names are spinning off onto tangents as they have exhuasted their interest in the traditional prog sound, while the up and comers have taken the batton a continued where Diggers, Sander, et al have left off.

Re: Progressive going in a new direction?

hey gloomy what's up? long time no seen.
I've been away for a while too.
And i totally know what you're saying. I hear songs mixed together, and less a journey than the old sound did.
But i find the music picking up a bit tho recently. if you look past the old names and search a little.

Hi Immadic, how ya doin? I'll try to pass along here more than I've been doing last year. And maybe going out in the scene again, because I believe I did only 2 prog parties last year

In the meanwhile, I'll take up my producing work again as well, both my dark electro band, and my own prog project.

Re: Progressive going in a new direction?

Guys, do me a favour, go to BeatPort.com and listen to Sertac Kaya?s mix of Snake Sedrick?s "Only One Way", and then Izak and Phunindustries "Retake" (Izak?s a member here).

Come back and tell me if prog is dead.

Hey, thanks Kinetic. I?m not really sure if that's progressive and well... I have to admit that it is not that easy to decide where should I put the tracks on the stores. In fact I guess that's the only moment when I use these definitions.

I really don't have an intention to do progressive, tech, acid or electro. I just do what my inspiration takes me too and if I get goose bumps, or if I can't stop moving my head... then that's good.

Re: Progressive going in a new direction?

i've been almost complete removed from the house scene for the last 2 years, .

you're lucky then. you've managed to bypass lots of the electro/prog rock crap over the last 2 years.

Re: Progressive going in a new direction?

Look at steve lawler lights 3.. few years back this guy was playing amazing tribal.. i mean thats what we all know him for right.. lastest cd, no fuckin tribal..
IMO: instead of sittting around and bitching about it.. its time to do something about it and make it change.

there's been discussions on weather prog is dead or not, we'll i will leave that alone but i will tell you what IS dead - and that's tribal. rightfully so.

Re: Progressive going in a new direction?

Personally I think the majority of Big Name djs have really gone in the wrong direction with there music. I mean every big time DJ (howells,diggers,pappa,sasha,sander, ect ect ect) play sounds today that do not sound nearly as good as they did a few years back

is it the djs....or the producers that changed direction? the dj's are just playing the cd-rs that they get in the mail.

unrelated rant:
a lot of people seem to feel qualified to tell everyone else how everything non prog sucks. well, considering these people have NEVER ventured outside of the ever shrinking prog scene. would you guys take someone seriously who only listened to oakenfold, or avb? no, you would laugh and tell them they didn't know shit because they only participated in a tiny part of the music spectrum. well...wtf is the difference? because you just started listening to hernan metrodance sets last year all of a sudden makes you Mr. Allknowingelectronicmusicperson. when you hear the word progressive, narrowminded isn't the first word that comes to mind...so why is that the mindset of the scene?

Re: Progressive going in a new direction?

Progressive music has been with us for the whole time over the last years and it is still there. As Greg said, you "just" have to get away from DJ's you listened to before and look who is playing what you like best at the moment. There are so many awesome DJ's out who haven't stopped or started playing Progressive..you only have to dig a bit for them instead of listening to the 20th Digweed set where you wonder why he plays so much Electro instead of Progressive.

I must agree with you man! There are a lot of new and old djs/producers who are still spinning and producing progressive. (Dj Tarkan, Snake Sedrick, Dj Gurdag, RPO, J&S Project, G-Pal, V-Sag,........)
