2019 Oct 浦东 Pudong Progressions

2019 Oct 浦东 Pudong Progressions
  
Progressive House mostly chilled and non-vocal with a hint of Trance peppered throughout. Very current tunes except a pair of underground classics.
 
Pudong (浦东) (East of Pu): the “new” Shanghai, a glimpse of what the 21st century megapolis will be. Whereas Puxi is vibrant, happening, alive, Pudong feels (I stand to be corrected bu locals) like a magnificent shopfront, built to impress but somewhat stale and lifeless.
 
Set came about through a rather depressing night looking at the magnificent but sad view from my hotel room.

Highlights: I could really list every track in the set. But let’s try to focus on a few.
 
“Coming Back” from Eli & Fur, it seems every recent upload contains an Eli & Fur tune. British female duo, currently at the very top of Progressive production and song writing.

“Chemicals” from Yotto and “Little Devious” from Dirty South, two gems of productions at the confines of house and trance. 
 
“Shake the Tree” from Simon Field. From Denmark , 40M streams from Spotify. A producer/DJ to look out for. Did the score from Passengers.

I am often asked about my fixation on Mr V…. Listen to the H.O.U.S.E. remix included in the set. Released in 2012 (!) and you will hear how unique and advanced his production is. Furthermore, he would be one of the few African American accepting of all the genres in house music. Total respect. “H.O.U.S.E”., “Definition” and “Piano Dance” to showcase the breadth of his talent.

“Patience” and “Maybe” featuring Mees Salomé. Massive new talent from the Netherlands. Best to describe what he does as perfectly produced melodic progressive trance.

Trans by female producer/dj Lily Pita. Just the perfect balance of Trance and Progressive.  From Indonesia supported by no less than legend John Digweed. Worth putting your headphones on for this one..
