Progressive House?! What is going on?
I aways check beatport every week and have scan through the top new progressive tracks, however I feel progressive is turning into electro house which is fine just not what I’m after.
I often warm up for a trance DJ, so need to get the vibes ready.
Anyone got any good ‘progressive tracks’ that I can check out.

This lead me to leave that genre for what it was back in december 2010.
(Never looked back, to be honest)
Nowadays Electro and Progressive House go together, and the genre called “Progressive House” it’s not anymore a melodic track with a progression, so today it’s any house track with melody. BTW some true prog tracks that you may like come from Trance genius Arty, I personally love Trio and the remix on Ferry Corsten’s Punk!!! Another track I like is Hans Zimmer - Time (Audible Bootleg) which is a prog-trance version of SHM - Greyhound!! I hope I’ve helped you!! btw sorry for my english xD
I Feel like ‘leaving’ however I know their are some very good tracks around just in the middle of all the electro stuff!
Welcome to electronic genres ever evolving shifts and rebrandings. Though I do feel like progressive house was turning into electro 6 years ago via the beatport charts. I kind of miss the darker, percussion laden progressive sounds easily attainable in the early 00’s. i also wish tribal house was still a thing instead of getting lumped into tech house, but so it goes.
There is still loads of awesome progressive music about. Progressive house is going very strong… just listen to Jaytech’s podcast. and progressive trance is just as strong… listen to Andy Moor’s podcast. That shit you hear on beatport is what they would call PROGNO! and its FUCKING SHIT!!! Keep digging though and you will find the good stuff!! Trust me.
There is still tons of really good prog out there, just stop looking at the top 10 and do some diggin. Take 20 minutes, click on some random names and you’ll find something.
check out the EQ label or the Balance CD series for some inspiration…
Cheers,
JayTech stuff looks good and I will look at EQ.
who said good prog didn’t exist anymore…hope this one gets dropped at the bedrock party on october 6th!

I find myself liking a lot of Mistique Music’s releases.
I used to be a huge Anjuna fan!
I dont really get why people always complain about “progressive” house on Beatport not being “progressive” enough, youre given something like a one minute preview of a 6-7 minute track…
You should still be a huge Anjuna fan!! 
Their Anjunadeep label is nothing short of awesome!
(I still tend to check up on that label, but don’t tell anyone. )
Why?
Because the essence isn’t progressive. The tides have changed thats all.
Even the “indie dance” label is being taken over by the electro house producers now…
Quite hard, but has a bodaciously old school breakdown, with the biggest drop after…
Long time ago when I started purchasing and listening to progressive house, I assumed it was similar to progressive rock, i.e. complex arrangements. Boy I was surprised to hear it was just based on progressive changes, instead. Anyway, I think Indie Dance music has taken over the mantle for more interesting dance music just now where progressive is mostly hanging on to the early 2000 sound which sadly is an old hat nowadays.
I usually go to http://www.cdpool.com/ they usually have good music release and have the newest ones before they are even out yet. You can try and look around and see what you can find, im sure you will be able to find some good ones
