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

@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:

              ArchimedesQ definitely the deep and dark vibe of the golden age

              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”.

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

                    Blue/Black or White/gold?

                      Job Jobse often annoys me for playing plenty of excellent records but too slow. He also chucks in too many “wet” or cheesy records as well as the odd italo-disco sounding stuff to remind people that he’s playing the trance tracks too slow.

                      I mean, I was going to say that the set you linked there seemed one of his better ones, but then typically as I was thinking that he follows up playing some belters like ‘7 Days and 1 Week’ and ‘Hale Bopp’ with a frickin’ hideous disco-breaks remix of Eurythmics ‘Sweet Dreams are Made of This’ plus Sonique "It Feels So Good’…

                      I couldn’t go to one of his gigs because I’d spend the whole time knowing I couldn’t enjoy myself properly even with a good track playing, because I’d be constantly on edge bracing myself for whenever he’d without warning chuck some hot turd at the speakers.

                      But it’s true that there’s a fair bit of crossover with what he plays and peak prog and he’s closer than most of those mentioned so far; shame he has to ruin the good stuff he’s playing though.
