I dunno if strictly exists a genre called prog. techno but some tunes have this tipically proggy melody with a fast techno bassline. I'd classify these songs, such more stuff from Jericho, Underwater even from Highland Beats (limited), as prog. techno. Other ppl would say it's just melodic techno.. but then we can say also melodic house instead of prog. house.

Example: Mr. Sliff - The riff

prog melody? what the fuck is that? having a melody doesn't make it progressive.

I know that
I've just said tunes with a proggy melody and a techno bassline... who on the hell have said that a melodic tune is progressive??

what if the song shares multiple elements. what takes over and decides what its going to be called.,

-whichever element is more mainstream?

what is a proggy melody and a techno bassline? what are you talking about? "prog" isn't defined by its unique melody, and techno isn't defined by a unique bassline......

marketing tricks lol....


actually i dont know much about techno but tech house and tribal house /is what could be the techno side of progressive... so imo its just a marketing "scam".

Blegh, pigeonholing again.

My take on... (various mixes planned, updated when I can be arsed)

Closest I've heard to such a thing is Float - Preperation, by Jamez. Techy progressive, at the least.

David Alvarado - Unspoken. Some kind of detroit techno and progressive tribal house in the same package, but I can't say it is progressive techno. It's progressive

Progressive techno is one of my favorite gendres.

The best example of it that I can think of is Alex Dolby- Psycho Garden

why would it be stupid to call something progressive techno, but all the other progressive sub genre's are exceptable?


i think when it comes down to it though...anything that could potential classified as progressive techno is already known as other shit...
