Playing Games V04 (Mixed By Dkool) by Dkoolmix on Mixcloud

What is it that makes progy house music so cool to listen to? Maybe it's because you don't necessarily lose your mind listening to it, and you get that good head nudging feeling that makes you smile... (OK, trance on the other hand just let go off). :)

This set is really cool: current progressve house songs that are hitting many popular online music sites:

Dutch DJ and producer Nicky Romero gave us his interpretation "My Friend", a well-known classic by Groove Armada and it rocks, hard! Yes, vocals on this release are exclusively re-done by the original singer of Groove Armada. "Without a doubt this is set to be one of the biggest tracks of 2010!"

Leaders Of The New School’s latest brightlight is Stars--a collaborative project between Paul Thomas, Myke Smith and vocalist Matt White. The original mix is a banging progressive monster with classic synth stabs and a splash of techno rides. A bubbling analogue line keeps things moving while Matt White’s spoken word gives the cut a perfect human touch.

Beside Stars, "Sunrise" is another track featuring British DJ and producer Paul Thomas who made his marked at Godskitchen and on Toolroom label. Antillas & Dankann mis of Sunrise is no less inspiring than its counterpart and boasts a punchier groove and a more up-front house style.

And finally "Invisible Children". This song comes with no less than 40+ remixes from well-known Mistique artists and a good deal of new names as well, released in four packages. Kay-D Remix (in the 3rd batch) is a progressive floater with many different melody layers that unite nicely with the other elements of this track, for instance the many sound effects that also help creating a lush atmosphere together with the rolling bassline.

Hope you like this set...

In this set I included a couple of Adam Nickey's works that I enjoy listening/playing; namely his collaboration with Nitrous Oxide on Moon Dust and his remix of Sunny Lax's Misgrey. This Polish producer and DJ extraordinaire enjoys stretching his basslines and melodies, and I still can't get enough of him.
