  • Current DJ who spins most similarly to Golden Prog Years?

Baumel from a couple years back was the prog I wanted and missed. Seemed like the perfect fit for GU and Balance at the time as well.

apyssjw There’s lots of ‘progressive trance’ at the moment but I wouldn’t be confident in stylistically it aiming at ‘peak prog’..

Flo Masse would be a good shout as a dj (and plays loads of 90s classics)

That’s not bad actually. Goes a bit too ‘eclectic’ in the middle, but good at the start and end.

I’m not sure it’s “peak prog” in sound either as again the influences tend more towards the early-mid 90s with lots of floating psychedelic acid lines and old-school basslines, but there are a few tracks in there that despite being made in 2022 (I’ve posted a couple below) definitely seem progressive trance more than anything and sound very much the kind of thing Sasha would be playing around 95-96.

When there’s stuff like this being made today it’s very confusing why Sasha now plays what and how he does. I noticed that the first track here was also played by Zabiela, which kind of supports my original post.

    Dan Flo Masse basically plays her Uncle’s old records.

    Who’s her uncle?

        SD’s been very hypothetical today!

        SM001 Try some of Adam Pits sets. Some of his “Progier/Trancier” sets can veer to the dubby techno side.

        Wasily I’d second Pits too, though it’s not really ‘golden’ prog IMO.

        I quite liked that Adam Pits set, I did get shades of deep and moody late 90s stuff like Corellian ‘Fathoms’ (Freelance Icebreakers Mix’) and Electric Tease ’Your Lovin (16B Mix) early on. It also had a hypnotic feel missing from a lot of recent sets that draw from prog influences.

        However, as you say it ended up mostly dub techno type stuff and I have to admit towards the end I was starting to find it all starting to sound rather samey.

              Some of his recent Rinse mixes are exclusively dub techno which does little for me. His live mixes are generally more of the trancier stuff.

                @hugopal Jobe is another worth checking out. Below is mix of his own tracks. Breaks and Prog;

                  That was a quick and easy nope.

                  Firstly, too many breaks for “golden era prog” and they’re just not really my thing anyway. All too fluffy sounding as well.

                    zackster Dark horse name here, but Dj Nobu can play trance tinged stuff in a way that I would call progressive.

                    Where would an example of this be? From the limited amount I’ve heard of him he’s pretty much just loopy techno.

                    zackster Also Function.

                    I don’t really understand this comparison either.

                        certainly not the bpm’s, but definitely the deep and dark vibe of the golden age
