because progressive is bceoming just as trancey and gay as trance itself.....tech-house, embrace me with your twisted arms.... >;)

queue Jenks...blip blip bleep doink doink bleep

no cause the blippy stuff is too weird for me....;)

^^ it`s going a bit that way for me lately with the exeption of Desyns set

I thought Desyn's set was especially Trancey. I don't think progressive is changing to Trance, I just think people are moving to trance... and I'm not happy with it one bit.

i like it when it's more techHOUSE than TECHhouse :wink:

^^^^ agree with tiddles :wink:

indeed...just a set that can chug along at a cool, even groove without getting too complex in its sounds is great sometimes...

now where the hell is Jenks... :lol:

prog was deep trance before trance became trance with a capital T

but i have to admit, things are getting a bit airey fairy at the mo.

Progressive House has no similarities to trance music at all, a completely different style of music altogether, and i would rather listen to elevator music than that dull, unfeeling, noisy crap they call "tech-house" :roll:

prog house is obviously a derivative of house and prog house mixed with tech-house makes a deadly 1-2 combo....however, in general, and as stated above, progressive was just a slower form of trance.....it was on a roll when it was played out as really dark music, but those times are floating away and more and more producers are producing tracks that are just sounding like trance but at 130 bpm's.

I also agree with Tiddles :lol:

earth dueley is great! :RockOn: i found very trancey matthew dekay's set that has been hosted by MS... but some good choons though!

Has Gutten :RockOn: :mrgreen:

Prog house is really boring the tits off me in a lot of cases lately... and I [i]completely[/i] agree with the trance-related comments. Much of the shit that's being played out - including the headliners - should be filed in the Tiesto (aka Recycle Bin) folder.

I'm no fan of predictable music in general. I don't want to [i]know[/i] what's going to happen all the time. Sure.. structure is important, but bloody hell.. it's turned into a predictable cheesefest in many cases. Likewise with some electro stuff. Much of it sounds like a [i]My First Casio Keyboard[/i] let loose a ripper to clear the elevator. Girly-as-crap vocals and basslines that would engage only the most trashed out gurner? For-fucking-geddit.

I want to hear sets I'm not embarrassed to play to friends who aren't clubbers. I want music that not only engages me, but interests me. I want something that won't sound outdated in 2 months.

I'm hoping to bring those ideas back in step with [i].AUdio[/i] for the coming months, and especially after side-stepping my usual music policy with Matthew Dekay's set. (Not a bad set - just not my taste. I'm going to trust my own judgement a bit more.)

"Progressive" desperately needs to get back to meaning what it says.

That can only mean one thing. November's .AUdio show will feature a guest mix by none other than The Wiggles! Yay for GranT!

You mean Paul Hogan doesn't hold that title anymore?

tech is dope. some of the minimal stuff is a bit too... ummm... minimal. all in all though I give it a "yay!" most of the shit jenks has referred is really good and I've become a pretty big fan of redline sessions. my current love is for good REAL breaks not these assholes that call their prog sets breaks but real fucking breaks, that shit is raw.

:RockOn:

I thought it was yahoo serious to be honest... :lol:

i like both, sometimes i'm tired from prog, put some tech stuff in playlist, then want again something more melodic. So i really prefer variety of good music.

i listen to trance for the nice vocals

Pots and pans. Glitch. Click. Bounce. :RockOn:

I feel the same way dude. 1% of all my friends like EDM, and the 1% that do are mainly into techo/tribal. If I ever have people in my car, I need something that represents the music style that I like, not just a broad label for a genre of the music.

People that say they like all progressive are stupid. You don't hear people say they like all alternative or all rap, because there's always musicians that they don't like... the same applies for EDM. Just because a lot of the DJs are starting to play cheese doesn't automatically mean that Progressive is starting to suck; it just means those DJs are starting to suck. As long as you discriminate by set instead of by DJ/Genre you're bound to get shit that you want to hear

Just play everything... tech, prog, trance, whatever... throw it all in the pot and keep it interesting. Sticking to one genre is really limiting and not fair to your ears, or your psyche.

:)

i think the best djs out there show a range of musical knowledge through a set and make it work

garnier, hawtin, richards for example
