Progressive house

Progressive house has its origins in Great Britain in the early 1990s, with the output of Guerrilla Records and Leftfield's first singles (particularly "Song of Life"). Mixmag editor Dom Phillips coined the term to describe this type of music. In 1992, the dance club Renaissance opened in Mansfield. Its DJs - particularly Sasha and John Digweed - were instrumental in popularizing its early sound. The music itself consisted of the 4-to-4 beat of house music with deeper, dub-influenced basslines and a more melancholic, emotional edge. Often, it featured elements from many different genres mixed together. "Song of Life", for instance, has a trip-hop like down-pitched breakbeat and a high-energy Roland TB-303 riff at various stages.

There have been many shifts in style in progressive house. After the release of BT's debut album Ima, for instance, many of the genre's subsequent records featured an ethereal, melodic style. As trance became more popular and melodic, progressive house darkened and acted as an underground counterpoint, merging with tribal house to produce many very minimal percussive tracks.

Meanwhile, the Melbourne-centered Australian progressive scene, whose luminaries include Phil K and Luke Chable pioneered a distinctive sound of their own - marked by melodic pads and delicate melodies. This style was pushed heavily in Britain and elsewhere by DJ Dave Seaman and Australian Anthony Pappa. Its influence even fed back into trance, with many sub-genre trademarks finding their way into the so called "Anjuna sound" centred on Above & Beyond's record label Anjunabeats. Since 2005, progressive house's popularity has lessened in dance music, with most of the scene's major DJs playing electro-, tech-house, and minimal.

Description of Progressive House Music

The term "progressive" tends to have a somewhat nebulous meaning when applied to electronic music. It is said that progressive house music originated in the UK as a blend of German house and trance. The features that distinguish progressive house from other forms of house lie not just in the tracks being played but also in the way a DJ mixes them together. The essence of progressive house is the concept of blending multiple sounds and/or tracks into a seamless whole. DJs of this genre generally aspire to guide their audience on a journey through sounds, moods, and states of mind. To do this, they attempt to dissolve the boundaries between individual tracks.

Progressive house music is oftentimes marked by layers of sound, which taken as a whole, form an intricate pattern of beat and melody. The melodies are usually subtler and the buildups more extended. The root of progressive house lies in the subtleties of each listener’s experience.

I decided to upload a new mix on my mixes page. I'm just getting back into things in the UK after spending most of the summer in Spain. You can download my "new December '07 mix" from mixes page.

There's a full length version and two separate sections I created for the purpose of easily burning two CDs from the original file.
