Im starting to find that a lot of progressive stuff getting released lately is lacking the substance that prog once had.

I guess it might be due to the ozgur can / matthew dekay / chable sound - and altho they have made some amazing stuff, its becoming a bit boring, and with heaps of people following on - well its getting done to death.

trance got to be boring to me after a while, as it all started sounding the same. prog is getting that way as well, with melodies becoming less interesting and bulked up using delays and so forth, which doesnt really make it that substantial.

dont get me wrong tho, prog is awesome, its a genre i will continue to support, its just taking a back seat for me atm.

even some of the stuff coming off silver planet (perhaps my fav label) is getting a bit mediocre.

it seems that its all loosing its chunky appeal that prog used to have.

but there is enough to keep me interested, guys like fortier and diggers are playing awesome - its more the melodic "trouse" bland kinda prog thats annoying.


oh and then theres electro prog. yer its cool, and its fun - but i think it could get tiring soon....


thats just my thoughts at the present time, im sure theyll change after seeing a few guys play in the coming months

Oops it already is, and has been for a while for me. Glitchy electro prog is the new tech trance.

Kompakt as a label has been putting out releases well before techtrance was even thought of.

Glitch/Dishwasher music/Sandpaper on the walls, has been around, and will be around.

Im not saying it wont, and im not saying it was an invention that spawned out of tech trance?

Im saying that the elctro prog popularity increase in late 2004 into 2005 is akin to the harder "tech trance" popularity increase in 2004. I dont like either sub-genre of music.

PS: plz mention your favourite label a few more times in your next post.
PPS: Kompakt!
PPPS: --escee.

Prog atm is fukin' awesome.
(ALthough I live in Melbourne and the shops are stocked up with the barra gear)
The dull stuff has almost disappeared from existence.
Yeah i understand what your saying about the deekay/melodic/no kick, or groove stuff getting boring (Although fuk, check his newest track 'Bad' out )
Personally i reckon varied sets are the key..bitza trance, electro, house, tribal, acid-house, techno, tech-house, breakz, whatever are the way to go. Think outside the square. Dont just go in and listen to bedrock/silver PLanet/Baroque etc.
Im buyin about 10 prog rekkids a week atm, its sending me broke all over again, but damn its fun.
I had a listen to a new Sasha and Digweed mix comp vinyl thingo today, all the old stuff, then I had a listen to the new stuff, and really, same style, but the newer stuff is better.

Its time for prog to party for a bit, thank christ! 2 years ago it was the dullest form of dance music in the universe.
Its all going oldskool.

Almost exactly how it was said last year by someone else.

escee: BCom's my label of choice. Glitchy electro prog is the new tech trance is what you said. I said Glitch was around before tech trance. Making tech trance the new Glitch, which doesn't work. Get me now. Good.

yer, i like the varied sets as well, ones that include a lot of tech edged proggy breaks and the like make em more interesting.

i guess the solution is, and what im doing, to listen to a broad range of djs and genres (the ones in my sig are my babies atm ) and get a good overall perspective....

its just that i think the whole blurring the lines between prog house and prog trance / trance isnt working.... imo.
