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:
“The self ... might be regarded as a sort of citadel of the mind, fortified without and containing selected treasures within, while love is an undivided share in the rest of the universe. In a healthy mind each contributes to the growth of the other: what we love intensely or for a long time we are likely to bring within the citadel, and to assert as part of ourself. On the other hand, it is only on the basis of a substantial self that a person is capable of progressive sympathy or love.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“This house was but a slight departure from the hollow tree, which the bear still inhabits,—being a hollow made with trees piled up, with a coating of bark like its original.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Now the rich stream of Music winds along
Deep, majestic, smooth, and strong,”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
