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:
“To grant woman an equality with man in the affairs of life is contrary to every tradition, every precedent, every inheritance, every instinct and every teaching. The acceptance of this idea is possible only to those of especially progressive tendencies and a strong sense of justice, and it is yet too soon to expect these from the majority.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Science is facts. Just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts. But a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.”
—Jules Henri Poincare (1854–1912)
“So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
And through the music of the languid hours,
They hear like ocean on a western beach
The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
—Andrew Lang (1844–1912)
