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

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

                    Slightly more trancy than prog but golden nonetheless:

                      Definitely not. Same monotonous “vibe” as Organic House. Dull as fuck.

                          zackster that’s one track and it doesn’t particularly make me think of ‘prog’. It has a space-y synth line but it’s too drift-y and “atmospheric”/ambient. If anything it reminds me a bit more of what passes for modern day “prog”.
