History
The roots of progressive house can be traced back to the early 1990s rave and club scenes in the UK, Europe, and Northern America. A combination of US house, UK house, Italian house, German house, and trance largely influenced one another during this era. The term was used mainly as a marketing label to differentiate new rave house from traditional American house. The buzz word emerged out of the rave scene around 1990 to 1992, describing a new sound of house that broke away from its American roots. The label progressive house was often used interchangeably with trance in the early years.
