The Longer the Better


While debating if I should mission it two hours to see Funkagenda play tonight I went off on a tangent of some of my favourite progressive tracks. All of these possess lovely long, drawn out build ups as they approach the crescendo. Most people are too impatient for these builds-they are foolish. As with most things that are leading to some big explosion or critical moment, the longer the the better, or at least that's what she said...

First up we have Sebastian Leger, a favourite of ours, this time with an edgy sounding tune using vocal samples from Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People".

While David Guetta is notorious for his trendy electro collaborations with such artists as Akon, Kid Cudi and Will.I.am, his independent progressive collaborations are why I respect the Frenchman. "Grrrrr" and his remix of Calvin Harris' Flashback are the epitome of his talent, and versatility.

This post wouldn't be complete without some Funkagenda tracks- he was the impetus for this post after-all. I implore you to listen to these tracks on the best and loudest sound system you can get your hands on to truly appreciate the nuances and effort he puts into his music.
