Depends how far into the trance dance experience you wanna go. If you wanna jump around like a loon keeping an eye out for who's watching you or checking yourself out in the mirror you aren't gonna be losing it in the cerebral department are ya?
Progressive dance music doen't mean pulling cool moves and looking sexy that's for hip-hop and R&B videos (for me anyway) it's about the tribal element in all of us that you still find in Africa, South America etc where you get all worked up over a single rhythm and some melodic vocalisation. Hence Leftfields's song of life, Shmuel Flash's Chilling moments even Hardfloor's Yeke yeke (if a little acid techno tinged) nicking and mimicking that experience.
The best DJ for that element of the progressive dance music scene in my opinion is Moshic he's got some pretty decent mixes on his website for download.

BTW there's a programme about techno on Radio 4 today at lunchtime:

I'm giving Moshic a quick listen now and it's really not my thing. It's all done very well but it just plods along in a vaguely tribal fashion. Too smooth for my tastes, really, very slick, but doesn't have any excitement. I need harder kicks and a decent bass – progressive doesn't deliver that.

Sometimes I want to know why I'm not 'getting' a particular sound, so I try to keep my ears open to styles I don't get into, try to understand why someone else might love it. But that really is a bit too cerebral 
It either makes you giddy or it doesn't.
Trainwrecking is *right* out for prog DJs

What's any of that pretentious waffle got to with being cerebral?

Re: Hardfloor and Yeke Yeke,I forgot I was in the spotters forum (must try harder next time) Too be fair Morey Kante has hardfloor to thank for it's success mind.
Not really. It was already a massive tune.

It was a massive tune on Balearic dancefloors way before even Hardfloor existedjusali said:That was my explanation to your question pretentious or not it satisfies me as an answer.
