Progress Bar

And we are back with the 10th PRGRSSMIX by the one and only GIL who's DJ sets are a tightly woven, non-linear yet soaring experiences of music’s potential to create new dance forms. His own musical output underlines a rich ability to experiment with context – notably, he has released two EPs on Danse Noire, a singleon Country Music and most recently an acoustic EP on Yegorka. He has also composed a score for Akinola Davies’ BBC production Black to Life, and released edits and remixes on PTP, Mixpack, and Staycore. Definitely a repertoire convincing enough to give this beautiful mix a proper listen.

We regret to announce that due to the unfortunate cancellation of parts of the programme, this Friday’s online edition of Progress Bar will not be going ahead.

We were looking forward to virtually reconvening for the Season 4 finale, after its interruption caused by the current global health crisis. However, we recognise that there is another, long-standing crisis at hand and there are rightly greater priorities at stake for many of our artists, speakers and community.

In the meantime, we will continue to work on ways that we can use – and improve – our own platform to provide and promote equity, safety and inclusivity.

A new PRGRSSMIX is out now! A true honorary and unmissable artist of Progress Bar is Yantan Ministry. From producing to DJ'ing, they bring an eccentric and original experience to the dance floor. Incorporating emotional beats and undeniably danceable rhythms they truly embody the spirit of musical eclecticism that helps us transcend in the club spaces we try and create. This mix is another pearl in their treasure chest of sound collections. Please tune in and check out the rest of their work, support them by purchasing any releases or by giving extra attention to their audible artistry.

The latest release of Elysia Crampton on PAN is called 'ORCORARA 2010'. "This album follows intergenerational trauma, fugitives of Christian violence in a twilight called Puruma, returning to Mama Cocha, the sea that theorists call Nowhere.

Dedicated to the life of Paul Sousa, who while incarcerated, worked years as an inmate firefighter across the Sierra Nevada of California. Also dedicated to the work of Sage LaPena and Dr. Gretel Mendizabal Nolte. (Includes misreadings of Jimenez, Saenz, Claudel, & Wright).

Not one, not world, not body, not god, not salvation, not zero; only a ceaseless approaching toward, with, and as the great mystery, by Grace, Tatamama. Jallalla."

Please listen to it here! All proceeds go to the American Indian Movement West / AIM SoCal chapters.

Dear followers of Progress Bar,

We first of all hope that you are all safe and healthy during these difficult times. Whilst we miss coming together as we normally would, Progress Bar will be back in new alternate forms in the near future. In the meantime, we’ll be sharing work from artists who’ve played at Progress Bar in the past as well as others we admire. Please dig into their work and give it the attention and love it deserves.

With love,
