In the previous episode, I talked about how progressive house had turned to a darker, somewhat ominous sound in the early 2000’s. Throughout my DJ career, I’ve seen the ebbs and flows of underground music shift through various phases of vibrations, often reacting with an opposite pull to what’s happening in the more mainstream music environments of the time.
For this partciular period from around 2001 through 2006… let’s call it the “Delta Heavy” phase, named after Sasha & Digweed’s Delta Heavy Tour. Characterized by moody vibes, dark textures, atonal sounds, trippy effects, narrative style vocals, tribal tones, and driving, heavily percussive rhythms, I honestly loved this period of underground progressive house. You can hear many of these influences in today’s Techno, Progressive House, and Tech House productions.
This mix was meant to compliment and contrast the more mainstream appraoch of Carbon 001, which, if you refer back to Episode 79, was intended to be a crossover mix in an attempt to bridge the gap between the mainstream and the underground.
One of the tracks that never left my crate during this era, was Pablo Gargano’s “Gangsta” on EVE recordings UK, because it used an infamous sample from the movie, “Goodfellas.”
