I haven't heard of any of them, though I may download the and hear. I like progressive trance/hard trance, I like the following off the top of my head:

Voodoo & Serano
Mars & Mystre
Aphex Twin

Paul Oakenfold
Paul van Dyk

I know I like a lot more but thats all I can think of right now :~

jonesy

I wouldn't class aphex twin as any sort of trance.

What is the difference between progressive trance and just trance? Or progressive anything? My favorite trance song is Sasha - Xpander

kind of ironic.


xpander is one of the tracks that people consider to be a breakthrough in expanding progressive-trance.

prog. refers to long extended mixes of tracks, where there are several different layers of loops that come in. progressive tracks will change up their sound a bit more.. a loop might come in after 7 minutes that will change up the general sound/pace of the track so that you can mix it into something quite different and create a '3rd eye' between the two tracks you are mixing.

so.. someone spinning 'trance' is going to be spinning a lot of very defined tracks, huge melodic crashers that will shred the dance floor, then once its almost played out.. at the 6 or 7 minute stage, (s)he'll probably mix quickly (1-2minutes total) during a breakdown or crescendo into another banger.

someone spinning prog is going to mix into the first 3-5 minutes of a progressive track, so it will just be getting into full gear when its dropped on its own. then they'll quickly grab another plate, toss it on, and get the mix going after a moment so they'll mix out for the last 3-5 minutes of the playing track.

loooong mixing.. more minimal sound to the tracks if you listen to them by themselves, but when they mix with another, it creates a very nice tune instead of a very heavy mix. a good progressive DJ will leave you wondering when he's even switching tracks. the sound of the mix is whats different.. the sounds blend, rather than beating over eachother.
