A progressive house classic. The latest anthem floor hits.

Progressive house is a derivative of house music that developed in the 1990s primarily in the UK and other European countries, and today it’s recognized as a subgenre of EDM.

At its inception, the term began to be used among influential producers to describe experimental sound-making and attempts that diverged from the methods of the original house music.

Its sound is close to trance and melodic house & techno, and it remains persistently popular.

In this article, we’ll carefully curate and introduce classic and popular tracks!

A progressive house classic. Latest anthem floor hits (1–10)

The male vocals sing in a sweet, whisper-like tone, making this a track that, unusually for EDM, puts the vocals front and center.

With such an outstanding melody, music from other genres doesn’t stand a chance.

It even has a Daft Punk-like feel, so it’s a highly recommended track.

In any case, it’s so uncompromising that people who’ve only ever listened to regular pop music probably won’t be able to make it through to the end.

Progressive house is often taken to mean “flashy, EDM-like tracks,” but originally it referred to house music with this kind of experimental flavor.

As you can tell from its dancefloor-oriented length of over seven minutes, you won’t grasp what makes this track interesting just by sitting and listening to it!

PREMIERE: Andre Sobota & Felipe Novaes – Prescience (Alex O’Rion Remix) [Clubsonica Records]

Prescience, a track by Brazilian musician Andre Sobota from São Paulo.

At first it sounds like a simple four-on-the-floor tune, but you can’t help being surprised by its distinctive sonics—like, how did he even arrive at these sounds? It may give a generally understated, progressive house-like impression, but within that, the development is quite pronounced and the structure is easy to follow.

It’s the kind of track where every sound seems to signify something, revealing more depth the more you listen.

Also, the nine-minute length is quintessentially progressive house.

Law of Attraction (Original Mix )Dezza Zerothree

A track released in 2018 by house musician Dezza.

It opens with a striking, reverb-drenched piano tone and centers on a tight, jittery beat and arpeggiators, evoking even a classical atmosphere.

The dynamics are excellent; despite the lack of flashy developments or timbres, its dramatic progression is beautiful, making it a piece that flows naturally into the ear without effort.

Hang Up Your Hang Ups (The Only One) [feat. Kim English] (CamelPhat Remix)Paul Woolford, Kim English

Including its video, this is a track by the producer Paul Woolford that carries a grand sense of scale, with artwork that’s quite striking as well.

Over a basic four-on-the-floor beat, the rich, choral-like female vocal refrain sticks in your ears, and the interplay of the synthesizer arpeggios is particularly interesting.

It’s a house number you’ll definitely want to enjoy on a good sound system.
