Pryda's new release...

Does anyone else feel this just more of the same from a producer that despite his technical talents has not done anything remotely innovative for a number of years?

I would not normally go out of my way to bag a release like this if it were not for the fact that all 3 tracks are currently sitting in the Beatport top 10.

I guess that doesn't mean much but fark if this is the pinnacle of Progressive House I'll be happy never to hear another bar of it thanks.

Eric give up on Pryda already its boring the hell out of everyone and your talents are going to waste, get some new ideas and breath some life back into your music.

Beatport has a top ten?

Now I know why half of you guys play the same shit as each other.

WTF? Ever heard of Only Records, Helvetica, WIFI, Kosmas Epsilon, Deep Mariano, Sancho & E-Lation, Hawkinson, Jalebee Cartel, M&D Substance, Xplore... etc. Artists who make progressive house.

Saying 99% of what Pryda does is progressive house is like saying Daft Punk is Chicago house.

Pryda has listed this latest release as Progressive House on beatport so not sure what your talking about really.

Call it what you like, its still boring and just more of the same.

Not sure what those other producers have to do with the topic, I'm sure I've listened to music from all them at some stage or another but I only really pay attention to what I'm currently mixing.

Pryda makes big-DJ-set house - most of it is hardly what I'd call progressive house if you use any number of the labels top prog DJs use as a comparison point.

Synthy techy big-room house?

Nuff said, he's been on auto-pilot longer than Deadmau5.

2cents..... just because a particular digital website calls a song "XYZ Genre", doesnt mean they get it right all the time... after all, they're just like kiwi proggers... rather opinionated

i agree... pryda soundscapes technically are always great... but fuck me he's been boring for ages now.

Pretty sure it is beatport that classifies the genres, not the artist or label. Think I read they have one guy who goes throughand does them all!

Its true, most of what beatport has listed as "progressive" is nothing more than generic electro-prog. Most of the good prog house is split between house/tech-house and progressive house. Most of the good prog-trance is found in trance.

Theres certainly a prog sound but I think the dj makes the prog. the prog does not make the dj.

Fuk I would kill to be able to sort by genre(s) and bpm on beatport.



I think most of what I like to mix is loosely classified as Techno these days...

yeah kant say i dig much of his stuff,

Summadayz might be semi interesting but Pryda anit gunna pull me

Ya need to hear him in a big room to really appreciate it.

How enlightening

I would have to say alot of the mixes posted on here lately, I would not called prog, tech house maybe?

Yeah well tech house is where it's at at the moment I guess but it's all prog if you mix and arrange it in a certain way. At least that's the way I see it anyhow.

I agree with the consensus that Progressive was originally style of mixing and should never have become an actual style of music as such but the reality is there is now a class of music that can only be described as Progressive House unless you want to come up with better way of describing it and get everyone else to agree on it.

the "majority" always needs a pigeon hole to plug something and everything into so that they can attempt to comprehend their unique random form reality that is infront on them.


regardless to Kasey's "style" or "stereotype", he's f*cking good DJ and IMHO, a MUST see. Get over stereotypes and get on with the music.

Enjoy.

hah... cross threading... must mean its beer o'clock...

*goes back to lurking*

I thought it was the other way around. Prog was pretty well a category of music - all that Guerilla Records type stuff... which much later became a term for a DJing style as different DJs started incorporating other sounds into their sets.. Moreso because on the other side of the Atlantic the US east coast prog scene was altogether a completely different sound - far darker and big-room tribal based sounds as opposed to the more synthy (trance inspired) stuff in Europe.

LA even had a different sound again - incorporating all their famous desert rave breakbeat inspired stuff like Rabbit In The Moon and Rampant Records.

As guys like Diggers/Sasha travelled they picked up and mashed it al together... and ditto for American guys like Tenaglia who discovered Tilt and M.I.K.E. from playing in massive clubs like Tunnel.

Most of the next pack of prog DJs seemed to be mashing it all together from their beginnings.. Howells, Lawler etc. Then prog really did become a type of DJing and not a genre at all.

So far as progressive house tracks go - I don't really consider Prdya stuff to be it usually. I'm thinking more along the lines of Tilt stuff and lots of Pure Substance Recs-type stuff.

And that is the great thing about dance music.. everyone sees it from their own seat.

How about Rabbit from RiTM getting bottled at a party and losing pretty much all sight from it!
