I can't really fukk with progressive house that hardbody. This club in West Palm Monarchy is a prog-house spot and after a while, unless a dj is really on his shyt (John Dahlbäck went the fukk off one night
) it can just get boring. Am I supposed to be dancing, am I supposed to be jumping, or am I supposed to be standing here with eyes glazed over taking note of your sweet synth loops?
I also can't take listening to songs with no vocals. I need some epic shyt being sang by anonymous, likely unpaid starving artists. You feel their hunger.
I was about to say Avicii was my favorite prog-house breh, but his top songs are all house/electro-house.
And we will never look back at the faded silhouettes!

Avicii fall off (same formula again and again now) but yeah you can classify him (at least his early work) as progressive. His best song IMO (from the 4min mark, it's just
) :

He's still pretty good with tracks with singers. That Nadia Ali track was fire, he remixed a Solu Music song that was crazy too and he also did a pretty good Ellis Bextor remix. So he's more house now, but I can't definetly can't knock his hustle because he's good at it.
But IMO proggy house is more about lounge clubs, beach parties with sunsets, psychedelic times where the ambience is the most important thing. I find it good to induce trance states :hyena:
You right though, I can't see myself dancing to that type of house because the changes are too "progressive". Songs needs breaks, drops and chorus to be good to dance to.
