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:
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“This is the house that Jack built.
This is the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.”
—Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. The House That Jack Built (l. 1–3)
