I don't disagree that this music isn't exactly very good, but I'm kinda tired of these smartass replies we keep giving new users. Discard your egos and actually answer his fucking question, please? If it isn't worth your time to listen to the tracks and give your answer, then don't bother replying. (Ninja Edit: Thanks for giving a good answer, Jack)

This is nowhere close to progressive house. It's like a slower, crappier version of melodic trance. It reminds me of some of those Future Trance compilations, with much less bass.

This is basically just vocal trance.

Thank you.
How exactly do you tell the difference ? There are so many genres and sub genres I find it difficult to tell what is what.

SystemJ - So the axwell mix Is just house music ?
And the cosmic gate uplifting ?

I'm shocked you had any pride to begin with.

I take that as a compliment. You're a good samaritan.

ASOT, you can go to youtube, google, or discogs and type a year followed by the subgenre. That's how I discovered progressive house and progressive trance from different eras.

Does uplifting trance keep the same beat throughout, just adding more 'layers' to it as it progresses ?
And house is 'louder' , having more bass ?
House has many different tunes throughout ?

i discovered trance through jesus.

I don't think so. Starting at the present and trying to figure things out backwards is how you end up with people who can't tell the difference between house and trance. The clearest way to learn anything about musical movements is to start from the beginning.
