I made a promise to start sharing my live radio shows on Soundcloud in 2025. This show,  'Natural Progression Saturday Session' was recorded live on March 1st, 2025. This 3 hour journey features of some of my favourite tunes from both the past and present, including a selection of atmospheric, melodic and progressive soundscapes. I absolutely loved mixing this show. The music represents some of my favourite styles of electronica which I truly hope you'll enjoy as much as I do. As usual, I did not pre-plan or program this mix beforehand, because I feel this brings the right feeling, both when I broadcast my show and when I mix live.  I truly hope you enjoy listening to this edition of Natural Progression. The track listing is below. If you do feel like listening live, please do tune in every Saturday from 1am to 4am UK time, wherever you are around the world. Much Love 🎶🙌❤️

Natural Progression Saturday Session 46

I like to create mixes of atmospheric progressive house, with the occasional bit of techno thrown in too. I always strive to make every mix a proper journey, hopefully ebbing and flowing whilst balancing dark and light, throughout. 

All my mixes contain a blend of propulsive, driving tracks, coupled with deeper, more emotional productions. There is so much amazing music out there, and I always aim to do it justice, and put any track in a context that will give it maximum impact - whilst still fitting perfectly with the mix as a whole. 

I know when the time is right to record a mix, as I feel an absolute compulsion to do so. Everything uploaded to this page has come about as a result of that. I hope they all convey the overall feeling, and warmth, that I was striving for.

I am immensely proud of all of the mixes I have uploaded to my page, and the many others that are hosted elsewhere on this site - all of which can be found my playlists. I very much hope that any of you kind enough to take the time to listen, enjoy them.

I was a resident for Progressive House UK from 2020-21, and all the mixes that I recorded for that excellent site, and many others not on here, can be found at:

In addition, I was a winner in a mix competition judged by Quivver in 2017, a hugely proud moment. I have also done guest mixes for Gai Barone's Patterns show, Il Modo, PFG, Saturo Sounds, 21C Progressive House and Melodic Distraction.

A bit about me: I am Edinburgh born and bred, I feel incredibly lucky to call this beautiful city home. Growing up, the house was always full of music thanks to my parents. I was also lucky enough to be exposed to some fantastic music thanks to my older brother's exemplary taste.

When branching out on my own, of a wide variety of genres, Depeche Mode were the band that spoke to me the most - with honourable mentions to New Order and The Smiths. 

Even as a young child, the dark atmosphere of their tracks resonated with me, and that has been the biggest influence on the kind of progressive house that I play in my sets.

It was early 90s rave music that first got me into dance music, but it was hearing the bassline on Orbital's 'Halcyon' for the first time in 1995 that made me realise that such music could move you in many, many more ways. 

Seeing Leftfield live in 1996 at the Barrowlands in Glasgow remains the most incredible music experience I've ever had. I was a regular at some seminal Edinburgh clubs in the late 90s and early 2000s, but it was at the legendary Taste where I truly found my clubbing utopia. 

In 2006, thanks to the generosity of Mark and Brian at a Taste afterparty, I had a shot of CDJs for the first time. Later that year, thanks to the advent of virtual DJing, I began recording mixes. I've never really stopped since.

In terms of influences from the world of progressive house, there are too many to mention - but Quivver is my all time favourite producer. As such, when my December 2017 mix was picked out by him for a mix competition he was running, it was among the proudest moments of my life.

I would always consider myself to be a bedroom (or living room!) DJ first and foremost, but I have been lucky enough to play at some fantastic clubs and venues.

I made several appearances at Karnival in Edinburgh, the undoubted highlight of which was appearing on the same bill as Inner City. I was also lucky enough to play at (the sadly now defunct) Kinfolk in Brooklyn NYC, with two of my closest friends.

If DJing was something I never thought I'd end up doing, making music most certainly wasn't - but thanks to Edinburgh legend Kev Wright, I have co-produced numerous tracks that have been released since 2011.

Through Kev I was also lucky enough to tag along with he, Gary and the Beat Laundry crew - and playing live streams during lockdown, with that amazing community, managed to put so many special times into an era that was so challenging for everyone.

My true happy place has always been playing at parties in my living room, or at a friend's house, with a great group of people. 

Those opportunities are few and far between now since my amazing daughter Anya was born in 2023 - but I'm at a different stage of life now, and I am blessed to have this amazing addition to an already phenomenal family.

Making mixes will never leave me though, and I very much hope to still continue to do so, as much as I can, going forward. As much as it's amazing playing in front of a crowd that you're in sync with, I love the permanence of a recorded mix.

There is no better feeling than receiving messages from someone you haven't met, on the other side of the world, letting you know that they are enjoying something that you have created.

As long as I feel compelled to keep putting them together, I will most definitely do so. 

(Very well done if you read this far!)

Thaddeus embarked on his DJing journey in the early 90s, initially immersed in the vibrant world of Hip Hop. His love for music soon evolved as he discovered the pulsating energy of dance music through the dynamic club scene in Austin, Texas. It was here that he encountered Florida breaks, a genre that captured his heart and continues to influence his sound to this day.

As Thaddeus delved deeper into the diverse landscape of electronic music, he found a true passion for Progressive House and Melodic Techno. His unique blend of these genres has earned him a reputation for creating captivating and immersive sets. Over the years, he has graced stages across the country, from the eclectic vibes of Austin and the sunny landscapes of Arizona to the bustling streets of New York and the rugged terrains of Utah.

Currently based in Austin, Thaddeus is committed to advancing his craft both as a DJ and producer. His dedication to his art is evident in his work with prominent labels. He has released tracks on the Prognosis label and has forthcoming releases scheduled with Dissident Music and Critical Elements.

Thaddeus continues to push boundaries in the dance music scene, steadily building his name and expanding his influence with every beat. His relentless passion and evolving sound promise an exciting future for this talented artist.

Hi, I'm Dj Eli G. My early musical influences began when I played with my father's vinyl collection, listening to his 70's and 80's rock and disco tracks. As a kid, I loved Men At Work, The Police, Eurythmics, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Black Box, Quadrophonia, Technotronic, SNAP, to name a few. I was an active member of the rave scene in the early 90's, listening to rave tracks, old-skool house, breaks, jungle and some of the first trance ever produced. What an amazing time for electronic music this was!🎶
Over the years, further musical influences came in the from labels, DJs and producers such as Harthouse and Eye Q Records and Oliver Leib, Zero Tolerance Recordings, Felix Da Housecat, Carl Cox, BT, Hooj Choons, Lee Burridge, Quivver, Sasha and John Digweed, Anthony Pappa, Platypus Records, Fluid Records, Bedrock and so, so many more amazing artists and labels.
Currently, I broadcast a weekly, live radio show called 'Natural Progression', which streams live on Wicked Beats Radio every Saturday 1am-5am (UK time). While I feature a wide variety of music on the show, progressive house and trance, melodic and deep house and progressive breaks are a major focus. Depending on where i'm playing, I also love mixing progressive psytrance, goa, deep, driving and hypnotic trance and melodic and uplifitng grooves.  The Natural Progressions show has now begun to feature on Soundcloud for your listening pleasure! Check the links and thanks for following and tuning in🎶🙌
I love taking people on soulful and mindful musical journeys which uplift the spirit and make the dancefloor a happy place to be. Hopefully, you'll experience the same when listening to these mixes, wherever you are around the world.

Much Love ❤️
Music🎶 is ALWAYS the answer................
