Trance/Progressive House

[Moon]

They're going to make a huge comeback soon.... ohhh yeah =)

Whats so great about these genres is not only do they mix really well, they also blend into house, techno, breaks, tribal, perfectly when done properly!

I hope to see many DJ's here in Vancouver work on that sound =)

[mattymids]

agreed

[Sykonee]

I don't know if progressive can make a HUGE comeback. It's style is usually so subtle that it goes largely unnoticed in commercial circles.

It'd be nice if it did, tho'. Subtlety is so much more enjoyable than "in-yer-face" tunez.

i hope so:)

[D]

nice post.

I think it will take some time before this sound catches on with the younger 'raver' type crowd. IMO prog. house/trance is more appealing to an older crowd. It might not be too big in Vancouver these days,,, but there are many good club nights around.

Sykonee- What are you talking about? I would think it's safe to say that the prog. sound has already made it's comeback,,, maybe you don't notice it as much in the OK.

K-Pryde- I'll send you my demo as soon as it's done. Also,,, if your into this sound,,, make sure you don't miss Tiesto or Sander Klienberg next week,,, shitty thing is they're both on the same night.

peace.

sure danny i'd love to hear your demo bro =)

i'd love to spin trance and progressives one day but i cant sell out my jungle brothers and sister just yet =) werd up

one day i'll get into that stuff.. one day.. maybe in the next 3-4 years =)

[D]

I hear ya. It's a difficult genre to keep up with if your concentrating on another style.

[Moon]

yeah

when you start to drift off into another genre u start to deteriorate in the other genre u were mainly focussed on...

i'm not very happy with my new mix
i'm going to redo it and delete off the server

[matéo]

Your right guy. I mean evn the breaks nowadays are so progressive..

[sketchers]

Sorry...maybe I should have been a little clearer. By huge comeback I meant a commercial comeback. Really, it never went away, just subsided a little after its commercial attempt never really took off. Prog'll always be around as each successive wave of older ravers becomes tuned into its far more mature sound when listening to tunez at home (along with deep house, of course:500: ).

Oh...and prog is pretty much non-existant here in the OK. But that's why I have WinMX :D )

What i do is i put as many genres of music into my set as i can

for example

I'll start a set with minimal
then into breaks
then into tranceybreaks
then into trance
then into hard trance
then into techno
then into acid trance
then into acid techno
then into Psy/goa
and finally finish it off with some hardcore.

I have a lot of records... but i never just went after one style.

actually, i was collecting uplifting trance for about a year.. then everything else came.

I've never actually played a set like that in real life... i always do it when im sitting on a weekend stoned out of my mind.. best way to waste 2 hours :)

[Moon]

great thing about that sonik is that they all can blend into each other eh?

i'm looking forward to getting final scratch.... just so i can experiment with alotta different genres...

[SoniK]

by adjusting the speed yes.. thank god for +/- 10!

congratulations is in order i guess,,, except I don't think you guys play the type of music we're talking abouth here,,, or at least not the type i'm talking about.

anyways,,,, good luck.

[*STARFISH*]

^^*LOL*
well we're gonna try and get everything in..
we're trying to keep it mellow
cuz the place is loungey more than dance and flail :D

Filo- I missed your post man,,, yeah that was cool.

See you @ Tiesto for some wicked progressive tunes!

peace.

If I see one more progressive house dj in this city, I'm going to puke.

Progressive House can't make a comeback, mainly because it's huge right now.

Look at what sasha and digweed played at their last show, it was filled with Progressive beats. Personally I find it boring.

Just look at what all the big names are playing now, and you'll have your answer.

If you want the next big thing, I'd say keep a close eye on electro, it's going to be HUGE.

you make some damn good points there Jim.

I hope you weren't making refrence to me,,, anyways I'm not really spinning Sasha/Digweed style at all. I have both of thier new LP's but they sit close to the back of my case. My style is much more along those of Paul Van Dyk and Tiesto,,, but I also love playing tribal and tech house,,, they're fuckin awesome. I've got some cool bootlegs too.

As long as you won't 'puke',,, I'll give you my demos as soon as they're done.

your 100% right about the comeback thing too.

peace.

[cubed]

I wasn't referring to anyone in general.

Like I said, I'm not a fan of the progressive house sound, but hey man, what ever turns your crank, right?

I'm just tired of the sound on a whole, I want something new, something funky, actually I want something really RETRO!!!

That's why I think Electro is going to be the next big genre, the passed few big shows I've either been at or have been working, have tossed in a couple of really awesome tracks that are completely carried by a crazy retro synth line, and the responses from the crowds have been nothing but favourable to the resurrgance of these 80's synth lines.

For years electronic music worked really hard at "NOT SOUNDING ELECTRONIC", they were striving to get a full "REAL" sound out of the music, what we're going to be seeing in the future is electronic music getting back to it's roots, and start sounding alot more "ELECTRONIC", cause no matter what anyone says 80's synth lines are really fucking cool.
