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 (11–20)

Never Look BackBoris Brejcha

Boris Brejcha’s track “Never Look Back,” by the German DJ.

It’s an impressive number that focuses on four-on-the-floor beats and low-end, and it also features high-pitched synthesizers.

A notable characteristic is the long build-up before the track fully unfolds.

The eighth notes that disrupt the initial four-on-the-floor in the verse serve as an accent, and the resulting instability feels strangely pleasant.

There’s a somewhat sacred atmosphere, and it’s a piece that invites you to find drama within its calm, understated flow.

The Russian DJ Dmitry Molosh’s track “Step by Step” is a piece where the interplay of sounds feels delightful.

It runs over seven minutes and barely changes for a while—quintessential progressive house.

Just when you think the long intro will open up, it only adds a bass line, making it quite a restrained number.

But don’t worry: a little after the two-minute mark, a synthesizer enters that exceeds expectations.

From there, it unfolds a flawless groove that never gets boring.

“Without You,” a track by the UK DJs Leftwing & Kody.

Driven by a 16-beat pattern, the tight, choppy bass progression is incredibly groovy, and the female vocals really shine.

It’s undeniably a bass-focused tune, but the rhythmic synthesizers are also pleasantly engaging.

As it develops, it treats you to smooth, almost classical textures.

And when the four-on-the-floor beat drops back in, the energy peaks—this one is seriously danceable.

The electro musician Match’s track “Irreversible.” Riding atop a pleasantly grooving rhythm section of hi-hats and handclaps is a bass-heavy synthesizer.

It’s a song whose well-judged low end you’ll want to feel on good speakers or headphones.

And if you listen closely, you’ll notice that the refrain, which comes forward and recedes as the effects change, forms the backbone of the track.

The way the dynamics are handled—what a brilliant idea and technique.

BoganoFuenka

Tight four-on-the-floor beats interwoven with a sub-bass low end, and a melody refrain that runs from start to finish.

This is Fuenka’s track “Bogano,” which carries a mysterious vibe.

It has a tense atmosphere as if heightening a scene in a movie, and the way it develops and builds dynamics is outstanding.

The power after the break is tremendous, creating a visceral sense of presence that makes you break a sweat as you listen.

It’s a short piece at three minutes, but it’s a number you won’t want to miss until the very end.
