Take a progressive track, I will use Bedrock's "Walking on Fire", and pay attention to how it builds up but doesn't release significantly at any point. Very subtle. With tantra you build up but postpone the release, and a lot of songs seem to follow this format (take a look at progressive psy).

New genre, folks. Tantric House. See the compilation on shelves within the week.

while i cant exlude that definition, i go with another.
progressive music to me is music that increments elements as it goes on.
your definition, more popular or not, seems more about an idea than content.
i prefer using a definition that can be backed by content.
actually, i just refer to it as trance, or edm, to avoid the grey lines of this subject.
to all his/her own really.

So, basically all trance is "progressive," then?

So.... basically, you're saying nearly 98% all music is 'progressive music'.


Did you come up with this on your own? Did someone tell you this? Where did this notion come from?

IF you really want to know I suggest asking people who have been buying records since the mid 90s, record store owners, important deejays. Find out where these labels were first used to describe or market the music. Don't just sit there and speculate and post rationalize..

I've never heard of progressive as "forward thinking" although imo there is a very certain style that progressive implies. It meens the music is very anti chorusey... there are no progressive songs with a chorus. Agree with the qouted poster about it going up in increments as well. IMO this is very hard to describe... apart from the fact that progressive song's never have a chorus... and are very anti chorusey.

The only progressive stuff I've listened to is progressive trance and progressive psytrance or anything in between them.

So is progressive house basicly another way of saying future house?

there's a difference between saying "progressive house" and "progressive" house, that is a difference between the genre and using progressive as a adjective which in turn has different meanings.

I think you're asking for trouble by asking the question as it relates to all music. Progressive is a loaded word used by different people in many ways.

the fact is there is a shitload of different styles of "progressive house". on one hand the older use of the term is used to describe a brooding, dark, grooving, sometimes almost tribal house like music that was very closely related to progressive trance (tarrantella & redanka, datar, baroque records, hooj tunes, bedrock, etc). now it can describe things like Guy Gerber & Shlomi Aber - Sea Of Sand, Anil Chawla - Jurassic Car Park, Octogen - CSide (Osaka Ultras Remix), etc

the basslines of prog house/trance are similar



in general - progressive house is house music that has been expanded to take on some of the sounds of trance and breakbeat - that is some progressive trance and progressive breaks sound just like progressive house tunes. tech house obviously takes on the sounds of techno. microhouse the sounds of minimal.

If you listen to like 2000-2002 era steve lawler, parks & wilson, sasha etc you'll see when there wasn't much of a line between progressive trance and progressive house
