true, the stuff I like does have some what of a progressive sound, thought
it's usually called tech house or tribal, I don't know if there's really a
difference, except that the term progressive is used to indicate that it's
more blatantly commercial. Actually the stuff like on this Pete Heller mix
http://www.thump-radio.com/music/show_page.cfm?showID=134 is really what I'm
after, or what I'm really after it ideas on how to mix this kind of stuff
with Broken Beats, since I can't do a whole Broken Beat/Nu Jazz night around
here, but I do want to educate people about it somewhat by combining it with
more familiar sounds
