Hmm
People please!, I can understand what you are getting it but there is NO WAY that either PVD or Picotto are progressive, granted they may play some progressive tracks, but as Sander Kleinenberg said in a recent DJ mag - progressive is an attitude - it is not about what records you play but the way you play them - I consider myself a totally progressive DJ and will play anything from a Peace Division/Halo & Hipp-E style production through Deep Dish and as close to trance as some Bedrock productions or Oliver Lieb - it seems that people on this board seem to have got the wrong end of the stick a bit - the tracks you have named are in part progressive, but only the trance end of things - listen to Sasha or Digweed and you will see that yes, they have played more tranced out tracks (Sasha says 'Trance with a smalle t') BUT, especially for digweed, this is not all - there is the whole warmup situation, more groove oriented records that aren't about breakdowns or building things up - listen to CD1 from either Global Underground Hong Kong or Los Angeles and you will see what I mean.
And there is no way that Carte Blanche is progressive!, maybe the origin mix as essentially they are a progressive artist (but very much the trance end of the spectrum) - but such a breakdown and drumroll is far too obvious and commercial for progressive DJs to be spinning (and don't slag me for this, I do own a copy!)
thanks for listening
