I'll say it before someone else does: check out the Zero Tolerance label for some harder, deeper progressive stuff. Aussie based too, so you can't go wrong.

As for specific tracks, I posted this in a progressive thread in the music discussions forum:

quote:

Tracks on my playlist that are relatively new (presented in alphabetical order no less): Andy Moor - Athena / No More (liking his new direction) Bluefish - Chameleon Dan Goodall - Summit Freeloader - Glow (Polekat Remix) Gardner & Thomas - Turn to Try Katakana - Tokyo (reminds me of why I started liking prog in the first place) LSG - Goddess / Loose Ends (Loose Ends would be perfect to start a darker set off with) Misja Helsloot vs Roland K - A Different World (love the bassline) NDSA - Or What (Inkfish Remix) Neurotic Jock - Therapy (dark, bass-heavy prog house, very much of the Filterheadz type sound) Noctophobia - Perfect Sense Peter Martin (aka Slide) - Co-da / Everything in Between Rogue - Dohan Girls (Alex Flatner Remix) (another one that reminds me of the progressive of a couple of years ago) Rulers of the Deep - Dirty Grooves Shafunkers - Open Skies / Rhythm Design (if the second one doesn't make you want to get up and dance, then there is no hope for you) Smight - Happy Place / Rebuilding Twelve Thomas Penton - Dirty Sanchez But by far the track of the moment is.... Funktion - Seduction I've got two mixes, both labelled as the "original mix". Once is a more chilled track with these warming synths over the top of a laid-back housey beat, but it's the second, more pumping one that you're after. It's exactly the sort of track I could see Danny Howells or Deep Dish playing at the peak of their set - can't get enough of it. It goes right off. "What's going on..... what's going on..... what's going on....."

Hope that helps. Also, for the techno side of things, I just downloaded John Starlight - Bloodangels (Chris Liebling Remix) and it is the bees knees - one of those tracks you could quite easily slip into the darker, harder moments of a prog set...... should wake everyone up at least.

If you need any more tracks I'll post my recent winamp playlists. Full of gems if you want my personal opinion.

and dont shop for prog @ the dj factory.
