Progressive house emerged after the first wave of house music and is one of the major subgenres of house in the electronic music scene. The term is widely used especially today for a large spectrum of 4 on the floor inspired tunes that don’t necessarily fall under the umbrella of a traditional house or techno inspired track. Describing the experimental nature of the music as âprogressiveâ refers to the nuances that cause the new music to differ from what has been considered the normal. If youâre a seasoned progressive house head or only recently becoming familiar with the term, we got you covered. Sit back and enjoy the ride as we dive into progressive house.

South African producer Black Coffee won his first Grammy for his 2021 album, Subconsciously. The 12-track album was nominated under the dance/electronic album category at the GRAMMY Awardsâ 64th annual celebration. Subconsciously prevailed over other LPs like Major Lazer’s Music Is the Weapon (Reloaded) and Marshmello’s Shockwave.Â
Black Coffee brought his eldest son, Esona, on stage to accept the award. He thanked “God for the gift of music” and the ability to “share it with the world” and “help people go through whatever they’re going through in life.” He also thanked French producer David Guetta for believing in him.Â

Some of the best friendships are often the ones hardest to explain, which can seem to be the case with David Guetta and Ali Shirazinia, commonly known by his stage name Dubfire.
Yet, a quick glance at the past and you can instantly spot where their paths crossed and their friendship began, born out of musical respect, as well as an instant personal connection. In a recent interview for a forthcoming Dubfire documentary, the two stars sat down with Pacha Magazine and explained the origins of their lasting friendship, which began roughly ten years ago when Deep Dish and David Guetta swapped duties for remix projects on each other’s music.
It all startedwhen Deep Dish added their twist to David Guetta’s “The World Is Mine,” whilst the French start remixed the duo’s iconic “Flashdance,” setting the two stars on a personal friendship that remains strong to this day.
It’s safe to say that since that time both of the artist’s sounds have changed. The Deep Dish project was put on hold for several years before it was picked up again a couple of years ago, although Dubfire remains focused on is solo career more than ever. Guetta went on to collaborate with some of the world’s biggest pop and hip-hop artists, becoming one of the biggest EDM artists in the world.
When it is all said and done, however, Guetta credits the Deep Dish remix as a really important part of his early career:
“I was really huge in France but I was struggling at a international level,” said Guetta. “It was the first time my record was playing everywhere because they were really hot at the time â so I’m really thankful for that.”

Unless you’re living under a rock, or have absolutely no interest in the rapidly changing world of dance music, you have probably heard that Pacha Group went on sale in September for a requested âŹ500 million.
The sale of the Pacha brand includes hotels and venues directly owned by the company, such as Pacha Ibiza, Destino and LĂo, as well as the franchise fees paid by the dozen or so clubs around the world who use the brand’s name. When the news was filtered to the media, the reason for the sale was boiled down to a distaste of the Matutes family, who own UshuaĂŻa Group, and the VIP lifestyle that Pacha alleges the Matutes brought to the island.

If I mention the words “David Guetta” to anyone I party with these days, the instant reaction is that of a raised eyebrow and looks full of scorn and contempt. Joking aside, the truth is that although the French producer and DJ currently (and for the last 6 years) epitomizes the world and sound of EDM, he used to be a true symbol of 90’s and early 2000 house music.
Plenty have debated on Guetta’s change throughout the years, but the truth is that history clearly underscores his role as one of the mid-90’s pioneers of French house. Back then, he made a name for himself as one of the key influencers of Parisian nightlife as both a DJ and promoter of nights at such renowned Paris hot spots as Folies Pigalle, Queen, Bataclan, Palace and Les Bains, where he invited legendary names in the house like Little Louie Vega, David Morales, DJ Pierre and Roger Sanchez to join him on the turntables.
His first two albums, “Just A Little More Love” in 2002 and “Guetta Blaster” in 2004 preceded EDM both in sound and scope. Sandwiched between them, Guetta released his “F*** Me I’m Famous” compilation, which famously went gold – a definite big achievement for a compilation effort at the time. The sound of those first two LPs were decisively electro-pop, in no small part influenced by the likes of Depeche Mode, Dear Or Alive and New Order. “Guetta Blaster” heralded the beginning of Guetta’s true foray into the world frequented by the urban, popular artists that were soon to collaborate and influence his sound for the years to follow.
But before then, in the distant 90’s, Guetta’s sets were influential and a true representation of the house sound that permeated France, Europe and by default the iconic Balearic island of Ibiza. Below is a video of Guetta on the decks of Space Ibiza in the late 90’s, a perfect illustration of just how much things have changed in the fifteen odd years that have passed since.
Seems hard to believe? Check out Guetta’s 1992 track “Up & Away” feat. Robert Owens and released on Dance Pool. The garage-inspired house track made waves at the time, a true testament that Guetta is capable of not only playing true house music, but producing it as well.
Yet, it is perhaps Guetta’s first recorded single – a 1990 hip-hop collaboration with Sydney entitled “Nation Rap” – that best predicted Guetta’s current work with rap, hip-hop and pop artists in the form of today’s EDM, while demonstrating his versatility as a producer and DJ. Below is a video of the two musicians performing the single live on France’s FR3 TV channel back in 1991.
