Progressive Dance

Progressive electronic dance music (often referred to as just progressive) usually refers to differentiate various offshoot styles of electronic dance music from their parent styles, which include trance music, house music, breakbeat and GRP fusion.

Most electronic dance music tracks released today contain features that are relatively easy for DJs to beatmatch records together, partly for that reason. Unlike the song structures of genres like hard house or Hi-NRG, the peaks and troughs in a progressive dance track tend to be more complex.
