the so called progressive house in beatport nowadays,(not the best name for this music) doesnt need much knowledge on music theory, if you break down all the sections in the songs they all follow the same pattern of intro, an uprising lift and a dirty bassline with a kick behind. not that interesting musically but it does the trick for some people and maybe fun to listen sometimes. unfortunately, this music is just CLUB dance music it is no intended to endure through time, most of it will pass in six months and it will become old.
The difference with music with interesting sections not revolting always on the same pattern, use of different musical elements and all sorts of things is that maybe nott much people will listen to it, but I think it will endure more during time and it will be less likely to become boring after six months.
just my opinion on the matter
check out The M Machine for mastery of the use of different musical elements
also, i dont also mean, you have to become a master and read all the books behind composition and theory.
a good exercise is to start analyzing tracks and their sections, in a notebook write name of the song, draw a timeline with the duration and listen to the song, in the timeline roughly mark the different sections of the song, what elements are introduced, taken out variations etc.
i would also like to point out that getting involved in diff KINDS/GENRES of music is every eye opening, and stimulating. Dont look for inspiration thru other electronic/edm producers.
listen to hip hop producers, rock bands, anything involving music and gain inspiration from other sources of art
