Current DJ who spins most similarly to Golden Prog Years?

A few recent posts on here had me wondering - who do you guys think is the current day DJ who spins in the most similar style to that of the Golden Prog Years?

’Cos Sasha and Diggers used to smash out stuff like Armin ‘Virgo’ at 138bpm, but now it’s mostly plodding melodic/“organic” house that probably never even scratches 130.

A couple of recent James Zabiela sets I’ve heard occasionally seem to capture a bit of that spirit more than recent sets I’ve stumbled upon from other jocks with a direct connection to that scene, but even then there are more influences from the psy-leaning early-mid 90s prog style. Plus he maybe tops out at around 131. He played a remix of ‘Twilo Thunder’ in one of his sets and it was an incredibly tame breakbeat one at about 127 - it was hardly “It rubs the lotion on its skin and plays Twilo Thunder at 133bpm” (copyright Millsy).

I’ve mentioned before that I think the Danish centred/influenced techno/trance sound which emerged about 5 years ago had to my ears seemed the closest, from the likes of Courtesy, DJ Ibon, Schacke, Funeral Future etc. Courtesy even played Sasha & Holden - Bloodlock at its original speed in her last Boiler Room, and I’ve noticed Sasha play a recent DJ Ibon track (but so sped-down as to be near unrecognisable). That lot often go much faster and harder, or sometimes even veer much “wetter”, than the prog lot used to, mind.

Someone like Amelie Lens also isn’t a million miles away from the spirit and scale of the peak prog era, even if their stuff is generally much harder, which is why I thought them doing a GU seemed apt (albeit it wasn’t the best mix I’d heard from her).

Just wondered if you lot had any other thoughts, knowledge or opinions?

apyssjw Point of in the weeds order - Twilo Thunder (and the Chain) are 137 (though 133 may be more appropriate for a Super Progressive gimp dungeon).

I’m just quoting Millsy’s amusing post - I’m aware it’s still too slow (hence my original comment pointing to Sasha & Diggers bashing stuff out at 138). As with Ed, I think SP would probably run for the hills if any DJs in a club he was attending actually went north of 130.

apyssjw but then they are more contemporary in that they removed the edge of the originals, part of which is bpm based

That isn’t really a hallmark of them being “contemporary” though - only the hallmark of them being made by those catering to the kind of dull sludge that lots of the old “prog” DJs are now playing. But there are still lots of “contemporary” DJs who play stuff that is closer to or edgier than the original (they just don’t typically call themselves “prog”).

I gave this way too much of a chance than I should have - too soft and fluffy, way too housey. Maxed out at 128bpm ffs. Give your ears a wash Alistair!
