Millsy it would have been better with something a bit more pretentious, like mistaking bread sauce and horseradish.
Smallman1 I still can’t believe Dave referenced Perlon though!
MAYBE FIFTEEN YEARS AGO LOL!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am 100% with Hugo here. “Wrecking Ball Prog” is dead (debatable if it ever actually existed lol). Communicate was the last release in the sub genre’s history. Trancesetters The Saga marked the first Post WBP release, and we’ve never gone back. Further more, going out for a night of WBP is like going to see a new silent movie; it can’t be done. Time for many here to finally step into the present and accept that all the shitty UK sub genres are dead. The classic american strains, as adopted by my strong german brethren, are what have endured. Pack away the Hooj Chewns and live in the NOW!
zackster Hooj did put out quite a few bangers pre-2001 which are still relevant and sound good today.
Your statement about “the classic American strains” is also patently absurd.
It would be much better if ye just understood Ed’s bantz a bit better, lads. Maybe ask Beatport if they can start a new genre and then email Hugo the exact specifications so that he doesn’t come on here melting my eyeballls.
LT42 as Poundwater astutely observed a few months back, a lot of what is now most commonly called ‘Peak Time / Driving Techno’ on Beatport is more similar to what prog was in the late 90s than the kinds of stuff now called prog on here and elsewhere.
There are no Ed Bantz. What there is is a serious methane gas leek in his flat. This has resulted in his head filling with tumors. The excess pressure in his skull has had him perpetually thinking it is 2001. He still thinks we saw Tenaglia at Output after walking past the World Trade Center.

We saw him at Twilo Zackster.
Sheesh kebab.
hugopal bore off, Hugo. Nobody gives a fuck. You’re such a gaping anal prolapse that Bezos wouldn’t miss you if the wind blew him off course. While Ed and I are front and centre swinging axes at the coalface you’re upstairs at the entrance to the VIP room arguing with the bouncer about the colour of the cushions. "Actually they’re not purple they"re more like magenta, here look, here’s Halfords latest colourways in the silk range." The bouncer already hanging from the door by his tie.
Jon should turn his bar into a VFW for old proggers. Every song in the juke box could be Blue Bottle and you can all sit around and swap stories about how Kosmas Epsilon was never fully appreciated.
If only some people posted up some examples…
Could also talk about Anil Chawla and Dale Anderson’s legendary b2b in room 2 at Turmnills in 2006.
An absolute masterclass in fist pumping electronic prog.
Ban request for Hugo!
Looks like he’s packed tedium into Bezo’s rocket and sent it stratospheric.
Along_the_Wire psh, don’t blame me. LT42 was spouting so much bollocks that even Bezos’ huge penis-shaped rocket would struggle to carry them.
hugopal don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, good buddy.
LT42 why would I be looking at friggin’ Halfords?!
Also, if the bouncer hangs himself then I can just waltz right passed them, job done.
Don’t see Hugo coming back from this tbh.
bosstrabs how long does his battery last?
zackster The rest of your points were pretty sound though 😉
As we know, ‘WBP’ is a miss labeling of ‘Muscular House’, and yes, sadly, I’m not aware of anyone making anything much like it these days, the odd bit of techno occasionally gets close, but nothing like those halcyon days of the early 00s.
Amps heard loads of muscular prog out and about over the last few years, Amps. I didn’t shazam any of it though, I was too busy enjoying myself. There’s a club in Dubrovnik down on the rocks near the old town, the music policy is most certainly, muscular eastern european wrecking ball progressive house. Don’t know the name either but I bought hash off a nazi biker inside the entrance. Recommended.
