Progressive House

With the ever increasing styles, genres and overall creativity that occurrs on a daily basis within the electronic music industry I find it helpful to organize my music categorically to keep up with it all. House music is taking over the world and it seems that there is constantly new subgenres of house music blossoming. The variety that has developed from different artists and producers from all necks of the woods demonstrates how each continent and even some cities have their own style and taste for house music. From Baltimore house, to Acid house, Deep house, Disco house, Electro house, Fidget house, Tech house, Tribal house and Dutch house the list goes on and on. Beatport has 40 classifications of house music but arguably the most popular style and my personal favorite is progressive house.

Fragma vs. P. Diddy- Toca’s Last Night (Deadmau5 Remix)

The term progressive house refers to the slow buildups that take you through a rollercoaster of melody leaving you begging for the drop and feeling so relieved when your ears are finally satisfied with a big, bouncing climax. Only to be picked back up again for often two or three more climaxes, who can complain about that? The gradual addition of new sounds takes the song from a minimal beat to something infused with life and the juicy breakdowns and synth laced beat patterns provide the fuel for the glorious fire. Adding in vocals only intensifies the experience and keeps you coming back for more.
