The NEW progressivebreaks.net

Posted Sun, 02/28/2010 - 10:40 by atmospherix

Welcome to the new progressivebreaks.net! We went back to the drawing board, and re-thought our strategy. We wanted a way to share news (like new tracks, mixes, and artist), opinions (reviews), and maybe start some conversations (albeit on the small scale). The forum didn't seem like the best way to keep people up to date with the latest stuff... and the software behind it didn't allow us to configure it the way we wanted to. A blog like the one you're currently reading seemed to suit the bill.

Old Skool Sunday : Way Out West - The Gift

Posted Sun, 03/07/2010 - 21:33 by atmospherix

If you were a club kid in Florida in the mid to late to nineties you undoubtedly went to (or at least heard of) the Club at Firestone. If not, it was the epicenter of the Florida rave scene, with a steady stream of top-notch DJs passing through its hallowed halls... leaving throngs of unsuspecting party people awestruck in their wake.

Track Review: Hybrid - Break My Soul

Posted Sun, 02/28/2010 - 19:57 by atmospherix

Break My Soul

It's only fitting that the first track review for the new progressivebreaks.net is one from Hybrid. PBN might not exist if it weren't for the boys from Swansea. It was some ten years ago when I first heard "If I Survive" playing over the speakers of the little club in my hometown. It stopped me in my tracks then and even today remains one of my favorite songs of all time. Over the years Hybrid has provided many a spine-tingling moment: whether from seeing them perform live, or randomly happening across one of their old remixes. Indeed the PBN studio is adorned with autographed Hybrid posters. What I'm getting at is that to love Hybrid is to love progressive breaks, and I love me some mother effing Hybrid.

Trainspotting: Losing My Way Out Again

Posted Wed, 08/19/2009 - 22:20 by atmospherix

From time to time I run across a track that hasn't be properly labeled, or a mix without a track list. Those of course are the times we find some of the best tunes, and have no way of finding out what it is.

Here's another thorn in my side ;) It features a girl singing throughout, but I haven't been able to find out the name of the track. The sample "I'm losing my way out again" is used repeatedly. It's from a mix I have labeled EK - JJJ Mixup from 01.11.2003...

Trainspotting: Can You Feel Me

Posted Sun, 07/19/2009 - 22:20 by atmospherix

Alright - this track is the perfect trainspotting example. It has been absolutely killing me to find out what it is. The only information I have about it is the lyric that's repeated throughout - "Can you feel me?" And that's not a whole lot to go on. I found it in a mix just labeled "Amb Mix Part 1" and I've had it since... geez 2003 I think.

I would be forever grateful if someone could name that tune... Hell, let's sweeten the pot a bit. If you can ID the track, I'll ante up a $10 iTunes gift card.

What's that one song that goes...

Only have a snippet of a song? Vaguely remember some lyrics? Send us as much information about a track you're looking for to trainspotting@progressivebreaks.net and we'll do our best to help identify it for you.

I take a certain amount of pride in my (somewhat encyclopedic) knowledge of breaks... If it's good I probably know it ;) But if I can't place it, maybe one of our readers can!

However, even I have a few tracks I've been trying to ID for years, so hopefully we can help each other out!
