For my debut set in Berlin, I had a 3 hour set heading into the sunset of the day. I enjoyed playing a bit of a day vibe but keeping it gritty for Berlin as I know they love that style. 

Thanks to Birgit and @deep-tales for having me.

If you'd like an ID of a track, comment and I'll reply with the ID ;)

Dowden - Live @ Birgit, Berlin - Himmelfahrt Open Air (09.05.24)

It’s been four years since Sweden’s EMPHI announced himself with a release on Yotto’s Odd One Out imprint. Since then, he has filled his portfolio with a list of releases that read like a who’s who of progressive labels and artists.

What makes it even more impressive is that he hails from a city where that sound is borderline non-existent: “You often don't get booked for progressive sound here as the genre has no real scene in Stockholm.”

But fortunately, the global community listened and embraced him. His collaboration with Amháin, the Hallen EP, is a distillation of what makes EMPHI such an exciting prospect: deep, enchanting grooves and melodic flourishes that are borderline soothing.

Featuring tracks from Alex O’Rion, Tonaco, Andrés Moris, and EMPHI himself, this highly entrancing Balance Selections mix ebbs and flows with the confidence of a veteran selector.

John Cosani & Martin Fredes Live at Madrid

Natural da cidade de Chapecó, extremo oeste de Santa Catarina, Isadora é amante assídua da música desde muito cedo. Sua caminhada começou quando tinha apenas 8 anos, cantando em festivais de música nativista. Ao longo de sua trajetória, passou por diversas vertentes, percorrendo pelo samba raiz, mpb e reggae.
No ano de 2019, Isadora teve seu contato lancinante com a música eletrônica em um dos clubs mais underground do Oeste de Santa Catarina, Lake Club. Lá, ela mergulhou de cabeça na viagem musical. Começou a mixar em 2020 e, desde então, vem se entregando de corpo e alma ao gênero, viajando pelas linhas baixas do Organic House e pelo bom e velho Progressive House.

Born in the city of Chapecó, in the extreme west of Santa Catarina, Isadora has been an assiduous lover of music since a very early age. Her walk began when she was just 8 years old, singing at nativist music festivals. Throughout her trajectory, she went through several aspects, covering samba root, mpb and reggae.
In 2019, Isadora had her harrowing contact with electronic music in one of the most underground clubs in western Santa Catarina, Lake Club. There, she plunged headlong into the musical journey. She started mixing in 2020 and since then has been giving herself body and soul to the genre, traveling through the low lines of Organic House and the good old Progressive House.

Solutions (smallprinz) House Mix

Progresivna Suza was founded in 2018 as a spontaneous initiative by passionate fans of the progressive house genre from Serbia and Croatia. This organization aims to unite individuals from all over the world who share the same passion, live progressively as part of their daily life, recognize no borders, and want to express their feelings through music uniquely and intimately.

From 2018 to 2020

During the group’s two and a half years of existence, as the number of new members grew, Progressive Suza organized over 20 parties in clubs in Belgrade and Novi Sad under the name Progressive Tales. Local support was provided by progressive house artists such as Bokee, Aćim, Jelly For The Babies, Popi Divine, and Miloš Miladinović, while well-known hosts like Lukai, Igor D., Aleksandar Marković, Hobin Rude, Despić, and Migazz also contributed.

The indispensable podcast began its first season with a weekly show in collaboration with the DeGori Project in 2018. In the second season, the podcast adopted a new, independent name, Progressive Tales. Alongside main episodes, the podcast included bonus editions that offered an open opportunity and support for emerging young DJs from around the world. Over the first three seasons, more than 150 artists participated in the Progressive Tales podcast. Among the artists who collaborated with us are Cid Inc, Dmitry Molosh, Alex O’Rion, Kamilo Sanclemente, Anthony Pappa, Mauro Augugliaro, Kyoto, Lerr, Buba, DJ Ruby, Simos Tagias, Gux Jimenez, Eran Aviner, Ewan Rill, RIGOONI, Stereo Underground, Guy Milani, Forerunners, Lucas Rossi, Jelly For The Babies, and many more.

2020 – 2021

In early 2020, Progresivna Suza hosted its first international performer independently, the brilliant producer East Cafe from Hungary, at the DOT club in Belgrade. In collaboration with the Blender organization in 2021, we organized events such as Guy J All Night Long and DJ Ruby‘s debut at Barutana.

During the pandemic-affected year, we hosted great artists on our YouTube channel including Subandrio, East Cafe, Gui Milani, DJ Ruby, Luciano Scheffer, Mauro Augugliaro, Missus, Andre Moret, Bachir Salloum, Lerr, Adnan Jakubović, Lukai, Buba, Despić, Hobin Rude, Igor D., Aleksandar Marković, JFR, Glow Funk, and Nichols. Over 60 episodes were aired daily under the title Antidepressive Tales.

The first Suza Picnic at Košutnjak in Belgrade, held in June, gathered a large number of group members who enjoyed socializing and culinary specialties by Svetislav Đorđević.

Following the launch of the official website, the content was enriched with numerous interviews featuring prominent artists from both global and domestic scenes, including Anthony Pappa, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Henry Saiz, Fernando Ferreyra, Navar, Sebastian Sellares, Antrim, Dmitry Molosh, DJ Ruby, Guy Mantzur, Audiostorm, Aćim, and many others. The site also includes member-written articles emphasizing educational content and a selection of the freshest tracklists for fans to discover. Simultaneously, Suza Shop was launched for both Serbian and global markets via Brendly and RedBubble platforms.

The third anniversary was celebrated at the DOT club with a special guest from the Netherlands, the star of the Lost & Found label, Navar.

2022

In 2022, Progresivna Suza embarked on its journey with Suza Records, releasing its initial productions. The first few EPs were signed by Kyotto, Hobin Rude, Andres Moris, and Partenaire.

The podcast lineup was reinforced with the Rove series, offering listeners a different sound and giving artists the freedom to showcase music across genres close to house. Fantastic journeys through organic, deep, micro, and tech house were shared by VieL, Erdi Irmak, Emotional Tourist, Mass Digital, Slow Hearts, Fernando Ferreyra, Nohan, Kento Kumazaki, Roger Martiney, and Yuichiro Kotani.

During the spring season, we hosted another brilliant Dutch producer, Alex O’Rion, at the DOT club, while continuing our collaboration with Tunnel club in Novi Sad, featuring Jelly For The Babies and Lerr.

The first official Lost and Found showcase in Belgrade‘s Barutana club was organized in partnership with Blender organization, featuring performances by Guy J, Roy Rosenfeld, and Hobin Rude.

In August 2022, Suza organized its first two-day festival in the Vojvodina village of Turija. The event at Tatić farm featured 12 performers, including DJ Ruby, East Cafe, N-Tchbl, Jelly For The Babies, Adnan Jakubović, and many others.

The year concluded with the organization’s fourth anniversary celebration at Tunnel club in Novi Sad, where Greek producer Simos Tagias performed for the first time in Serbia.

2023

In January 2023, the organization was officially established as a non-governmental association named “Center for Progressive Culture: Progresivna Suza“.

During the first part of the season, events and guest appearances continued in clubs across Novi Sad and Belgrade. Serbian audiences experienced performances by Israel’s Eran Aviner, Montenegro’s Buba, and guests from Australia GMJ and Olga Misty for the first time.

The second edition of the two-day festival in Turija took place under the new name AVANTURIJA Festival in August 2023. This festival offered a unique experience blending positive energy, nature, music, and artistic activities, all aimed at pure enjoyment. The lineup included Roger Martinez, Stereo Underground, Hobin Rude, Emotional Tourist, Nohan, Missus, Hobin Rude, Igor D., and Bokee.

Suza Records continued its progress, signing 15 releases with artists from around the globe, including Cream, Luman, Stage Van H, Mauro Augugliaro, Missus, Will DeKeizer, NuFects, Kandar, and Rockka.

The fifth anniversary was celebrated at Kult club in Belgrade with performances by domestic artists from three generations: Hobin Rude, Aćim, and N-tchbl.

2024 –

In March, the new concept Retrogressive Tales featuring music from the early 2000s played exclusively on vinyl records began at Kult club in Belgrade, with DJ Ruby and Popi Divine taking the stage.

The traditional Suza Picnic continued with its third edition in May at the same location in Košutnjak, Belgrade.

In collaboration with multimedia house Infinity Lighthouse and Blender organization, Progresivna Suza released the official Serbian edition of the book “Hernan Cattaneo: El Sueño de un DJ”. The book launch took place at Barutana club in Belgrade on June 1st before performances by Hernan Cattaneo and Hobin Rude.

The Progressive Tales podcast entered its seventh broadcasting season alongside the Elevation series.
