Progressive house, also called Progressive trance, is a fusion genre of house music (primarily dream house and acid house) and trance music (notably goa trance) that originated in the early 1990s in the United Kingdom, and has since spread worldwide around 2000. Progressive house has also brought an informal "clubbing" lifestyle to many Western countries, which, unlike main dance events, consists of social interactions amongst interested individuals through the use of nightclubs.
Famous quotes containing the words progressive, house and/or music:
“... feminist solidarity rooted in a commitment to progressive politics must include a space for rigorous critique, for dissent, or we are doomed to reproduce in progressive communities the very forms of domination we seek to oppose.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“I always have felt strange when we came home
To the dark house after so long an absence,
And the key rattled loudly into place
Seemed to warn someone to be getting out
At one door as we entered at another.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Sound all the lofty instruments of war,
And by that music let us all embrace,
For, heaven to earth, some of us never shall
A second time do such a courtesy.”
