-- fav tracks from prog house 2002-2005?
Pages (4): « 1 [2] 3 4 »

I'm pretty sure that She Think's She's Underground was floating around in 2005, before its official release in 2006. One of my favorite tracks... a shame it never got pressed.

Alex Dolby

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J That's almost entirely because a huge demographic of people had been inducted into dance music around 1998-2001 during the epic trance boom (I was one of them). After a couple of years they began to develop a taste for something deeper, and progressive was the obvious place to go. This 2002-2005 prog phase is mostly deemed the "golden age" because of nostalgia and inexperience with older incarnations of prog. I've heard people who've been clubbing for over a decade who think that progressive house was invented at some point in 2001. It's also where this ludicrous idea that prog house is defined by some sort of "progressive structure" comes from. Most of these people had/have no idea about the history or origins of the genre, and when faced with a much longer, slower and protracted version of the glowstick fare they'd been weaned on, they assumed "progressive" was some sort of structuralist definition. I don't have the same nostalgic reverence for this period, and my opinion on early-00s prog isn't too different to my original verdict: most of it is fucking boring. Ishkur has this idea of the "great anthem crash" where everyone got sick of epic trance bombast and started making anti-anthemic music, and that's a good definition of this type of prog. I find it funny when people bemoan tech house hegemony and then wistfully talk about early-00s prog, because this is where modern tech house's anti-melody, anti-drama, anti-fun aesthetic was born. It's basically the beginning of the end of progressive, and it's certainly the death of everything the genre originally stood for.

Nice one, this makes a lot of sense.

any producers want to collab on an older sounding prog house tune? looking for someone that can provide lush arps, sine/bells, referencing to tunes i posted here. pm me.

Look out For the original posters productions. He has been doing damage over at the music producers forum dishing out that prog stuff! He does have good sense of what works every track keeps getting better and better. If I had money to run a label I would offer him a good cut and try to sign him for 2 years


Here is an amazing prog track from the amazing prog era!




we have a thing... that comes from the heart...



So pretty and so amazing!

sweet track!

Originally posted by Paradox Lost So much outstanding material to select from. These immediately come to mind: Space Manoeuvres- Part 3 (Original/Pole Folder/Probspot remixes)

Where did you find that Probspot Remix? I have searched for years, i cant even find a sample

Great thread! I totally agree, the golden era of Progressive House. Full of amazing releases. Went through some records in my stock.

Here's a few I remember very well:

It was only included as part of the very limited 'Factoid' promotion on Lost Language, which was basically a series of remixes of different Space Manoeuvres tracks intended to promote his debut artist album. It only had a run of 100 copies, and was never actually sold.

I originally heard the Probspot remix in this Oakenfold set from five years ago. Probspot remix begins at about 1:30.45

It sounds quite typical of his style around this time, but it translates into a brutally intense take on the original. Great, great stuff. So is that set, by the way.

It ended up actually being about 130 copies. When I go home on Thursday I'll check what number mine is

And they were sold for a very, very limited time, on the Lost Language website.

I have to agree. most of that early 00 stuff is really tough to get through. the mid to late 90s stuff was much more dynamic and even though it was less popular I would call it the golden age.

Guys, everybody knows progressive house was born on the sweaty, dirty floor of Twilo.

this thread is awesome. keep it comming guys!

Excellent post.. what really pisses me off though is not the people who decide to experiment with prog, but the people who decided to revolt against trance because it was getting too popular. Fuck I hate that... "Fuck everyone knows who Armin Van Buuren is, which makes me less cool, so I'm gonna hate trance now." To me, that's a REAL hipster.

This happens in every genre of modern music.. if the music's good and you like it, don't be ashamed of liking it cuz a lot of people do. Way too many people are worried about what other people think of their musical tastes, it's so lame. Be a fucking individual and make choices for yourself.

probably my favorite rui da silva production. love love looooove this song
