2002 The year of progressive trance

I think this year is gonna be a huge breakthrough of the progressive
I love progressive !!!

James Holden is one of these guys who's gonna rule the world )

I thought people agreed to let 2002 be the year of the comeback of melodic and uplifting.
Let's leave the progressive to 2003 instead.

I agree!!! Let this be the year of upliftin' trance!! We got loads of progressive tracks out there! Don't take me wrong! I really like progressive, but 2001 was a lame year for uplifting lovers!

Posted by tu_face on Feb-06-2002 15:58:

naaa, i dont think either of u r right judgin by how its started off theres gonna be a lot more of the hard/techy stuff floatin around.. i think maybe towards the end of the year we might see uplifting coming back into fashion

2001 was the year of progressive, 2002 will be more uplifting, melodic.

I hope not! As much as I love progressive, it has it's place... and I think if it were as much in the lime light, it would be spoiled and be far less cool.

i know what u r saying there.. progressive is much better suited to shiftyness and general promiscuity.. back to the underground i say!

Posted by PSi on Feb-06-2002 18:22:

yeah i kinda liked Progressive house in the underground, which it still is. But i really dont think Progressive trance and progressive House are the same. But if u say Holden in Prog trance, then yeah i look forward to a year of prog trance. But sont get me all that wrongm Melodic trance is a blast too (one in a while). Just remember Tu face.

"The Underground baby, its just like roaches ,always living never dying"

oh yeah!

frankly i don't give a shit what the media labels the year or people's predictions. I'll listen to what i like and not care about it. Melodic/Epic/Uplifting trance will be back. I want more melodic trance damnit.......hehhee. Who knows but all i know is ppl will listen to what they like.

Posted by elena on Feb-07-2002 00:08:

hmm i dont know but i also thought this year it was going to be more of uplifting trance...i'd like to see more of sum melodic stuff

I think thats more of a possibility. The recent tiesto solo set has a few tech elements throughout.. Personally i think thats kind of cool to have more tech elements, but i would still prefer the uplifting style.

Oooh yes it's definetly going to get a lot harder! My two choices for the men to watch this year?

Marco V
Picotto

I reckon both are going to have amazing year (though so will Sasha if he actually gets his album out).

Posted by Dj O'Callaghan on Feb-07-2002 00:50:

I think its going to a good year for uplifting trance, but theres a lot of good hard stuff getting churned out lately. Who knows I just hope its a good year for trance in general and I'm going to just look around check out tracks and let tracks find me through seeing Djs spinning live. I think this summers going be blinding for tracks no matter what sub genre of trance they fall into.

Posted by pixyjunket on Feb-07-2002 01:05:

i dun give a damn about dem dar labels and stuff.. i want more of whatever you call this track "airscape - l'esperanza (dj tiesto remix)" you gimme shat like dat and i be one happy pixy..

Posted by Sir. Lunchalot on Feb-07-2002 01:11:

I believe that 2002 will be a high energy/techier/harder trance year for these reasons:

1. Ferry Corsten said something like that in the interview Swamper posted and I think I remember AvB saying something like this too.

2. The releases people are getting crazy about are mostly more energetic and harder. Best example is Flutlicht, Dumonde etc.

3. DJ`s throw in some more banging tunes into their sets and also the remixes that are being produced go in that direction.

All in all I like where 2002 seems to be going and I`m glad it isn`t progressive, which I feard a bit at some time, since progressive isn`t quite my cup of tea (most of the time... )

Cheers,

Sir. Lunchalot

i used to love gangstarr when i was into hip-hop.. u know thats a gangstarr quote?

ppl forget progressive trance can be very melodic.. james holden stuff tends to be vvvvvvvvvv melodic... progressive doesnt mean ithas no melody... chuff.

progressive or melodic ...
who knows ???

some smart guy might invent a new genre like promelic or whatever u call it , and all the kids would be listening to it ..

*sigh* guessed i dream too much ..

Posted by havok118 on Feb-07-2002 20:27:

The term progressive is always changing, always pushing the boundaries of the music, it's never going to explode into popularity, or die out, because the style of music it refers to is hardly ever the same from year to year.

Posted by TranceGiant on Feb-07-2002 20:44:

so whats the difference between prog house and prog trance?
is sasha - xpander prog trance while lets say....lustral-everytime is prog house?

melogressive?

what about an option where both progressive and melodic make a come back? that's as good as it could get...

Posted by amdmaxx on Feb-07-2002 21:26:

I would love that!!!
2001 was quite a hard trance year, let it slide to progressive in 2002 and melodic in 2003.. Melodic is the best, IMHO

NO NO NO

its so not gonna happen, and im glad it won't

progressive is nice every so often... year long periods are unbearable

Posted by havok118 on Feb-08-2002 08:41:

I doubt we're going to see much melodic...there's only so many times you can rehash the same melodies into different beats. Most of it's been done, people are bored, hence the more monotonous stuff that is more popular. It may be more boring than music in recent past, but it's bringing a totally new vibe to the music. Originality, for once.

Down with run-of-the-mill garbage!

Respect to the great producers.
