-- The REAL trance/progressive revival thread

I don't think they're very good. Neither one is trance, I would hesitate to even call them progressive house really. Not enough groove. Both sound like Yotto tracks from 8 years ago with those melodramatic power chords.

The thing is, before this revival sound came around I was, of course, playing the kind of progressive house that Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren deal in. The tracks you've shared would certainly fit in with that scene, but I would have passed them by if I'd found them on Beatport. There is undoubtedly some gold in that scene but you would have to sift through a hundred bland, wishy washy tracks to find that gold. I was always trying to find ways to inject a bit of energy and nastiness into it by adding some tech house, some acid, some old tracks that could fit in. How successful I was at that mission is for others to decide, but once this revival sound came around I just binned off the whole enterprise quite quickly. The tracks in this thread have the energy and the acidic rawness built into them. You don't have to sweat and slave as a DJ to make it sound like filthy, nasty drug music. It's already there.

Thanks so much mate! Fascinating. Have usually assumed anything i�ve been into was trance or trance-adjacent/relying on 1234 or 1231 chords etc. But if those tracks aren�t even prog house i�m as lost as ever

I acknowledge your general disdain for melodic trance but you�d be surprised how awful it is being a cheesemeister these days. I�d be stoked to find 20 decent tracks a month. More like 2-3 a year if im lucky.

Thanks for your opinion!

Beatport has the category "melodic house and techno", which basically means "Cattaneo prog but with even less groove". That's what I'd call these. Beatport has the Arodes track filed under that category.

MFS/Effective Force vibe

After playing a progressive set on Luminosity this year Daniel Skyver started a Progressive Nostalgia playlist, maybe nice to share, it's from his FB page:

Im afraid I cant tempt you with a tracklist this time, but theres probably a lot of things the people in this thread will appreciate in this one

Viel Walker has some sick drums and very trancy breakbeats with acid riffs. Reminds me of the early Global Trance Grooves days with this kind of progressive sound.

The track at 1:55:00 is sick

I've been waiting for this to release since June, all four tracks are excellent. For some reason they left out one track on digital.





Some much good music coming out on all fronts.

Mpeg has been quiet over the past twelve months but he's just dropped a debut LP on RAND Muzik. Nice to see a proper progressive house full length artist album for a change - cool, sleek, chunky late night grooves in that early '00s prog style, with no cheese.

Couple of sets from my last live gig down in London. Not only my own set but also Daniel Lesden, J00F Recordings label manager and Beatport's "Trance" curator, who played immediately after me. I kept things at a chunky, groovy 130bpm in my set, then Daniel came on and whacked it up to 136bpm and unleashed acid mayhem straight afterwards:

I didnt listen to the Daniel Lesden mix yet, but I should realize just how much I've been taking your throwback prog revival mixes for granted, mate.

Very nice

Cheers, mate. The tracks sounds old school yet so new and polished as well. Just incredible work.

Massive release. Wow.

Going to throw my hat into the ring here gentlemen.
Peace

A lot of cracking tunes in that mix. Spacer Woman - Xcelerate pays homage to powerful female vocalists on the '93-'95 prog tracks.

Body Clinic has been doing a monthly spot on a SWU FM, his latest show was a B2B with Wigs. There's a forthcoming track from Aiden Francis in the middle that sounds monstrous, followed by a new one from Wigs that is right up my street.

so, you're saying its safe to jump on the bandwagon at this moment? i'll be clinging to your answer.

the bandwagon is now taking passengers

What a beauty for 2026. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
