First time listening to progressive

Re: First time listening to progressive

A friend of mine, who swore she hated all that noise i play, recently sat and listened to all three hours something of Nick Warren at the TLV from earlier this year. Since then she has progressed to Digweed's GU19, Holdens Balance 005 and Way Out Wests recent proton mix.

This weekend i thought i would move her on to Pappa and Lawler!

Re: First time listening to progressive

Digweed's GU019 would be a good choice.

Re: First time listening to progressive

I would say the best prog to play for a newbie would be Hernan Cattaneo. The man plays great music and very appealing to the ear. If he/she doesn't like, their a lost cause.

I agree here - got a few people hooked thru Perfecto South AM CDs :wink:

Sasha @ Digweed @ Miami Arena, Delta Heavy tour, WMC* (emix)

Good Choice one of my favorite E-mixes ever. I also want to add John Digweed-MMII & Sasha:GU-San Francisco.

GU24, Balance 005, or Holden's E-mix are the 1st 3 things 2 get some1 inline with my tastes

For something a little less up front I'd probably go from something like Involver.

Re: First time listening to progressive

Deep Dish - Renaissance Ibiza is an old goody, but I don't think it really matters what you put into the CD player, if they don't have an open mind then theres no chance. As long as they don't complain that it's the same beat over and over & don't say that it takes no talent to make music on computers; we'll get along fine.

agree with you here! I used to try and share what I loved musically with those who weren't into it. I don't bother any more, waste of time IMO. I share now with those who ask.

I would start with Deep Dish - GU in Toront.
After one or two weeks I would come back with Jimmy Van M - Bedrock.
After this start he/she would be a progressive house fan...

I've played Disc 2 of GU Seaman Cape Town to a few non-prog people and they absolutely loved it.That disc is a really accessible piece of prog-trance IMO.

I also got people hooked on Athens CD1,but then again that is a bit of a 'house-party' disc.

I would also add that anything by Deep Dish would be good,as they always play some quality house/prog that is very accessible to the new listener

John Digweed Essential Mix @ Heaven-BedRock B/day Party....Quality

I'm just squeaking each time DM rmx starts buzzing as if I were an ed sullivan show participant in 1964 with 'the beatles' as a guest

Re: First time listening to progressive

Just as subject says. What tracks/sets would you play to a person who never before listented to progressive, or any kind of trance/house musice for that matter?
And what do you consider the must-hear productions?

try out my progressive flagships:

way out west 'the fall' /bedrock vocal rmx in particular/ - probably one of
the greatest proggy tunes ever recorded
way out west 'the gift'
anacrusan 'in my mind'
pete heller & ted patterson 'big room drama'
echomen 'perpetual'
shmuel flash 'chilling moments'
james holden 'one for you' /brancaccio & asher rmx/

and favorite live sets/EMs:

john digweed EM 2001
john digweed @ twilo anniversary 2001
john digweed @ cocorico 2003
john digweed GU#19
john digweed @ crobar 2001
