To celebrate his PURRFECTION debut, Aman has curated a collection his Top 10 Progressive House Defining Moments. Enjoy!

1. Guy J - Pathos (Original Mix)

One of the first tracks I heard from the master of emotive progressive and lethal weapons, Guy J. This track made me delve deeper into the world of deep, groovy progressive house.

2. Deepfunk - Tulips Grow In Space (Marcelo Vasami Remix)

As soon as I took that deep dive, I discovered some more incredible producers like Deepfunk and Marcelo Vasami. This tune gives me goosebumps to this day! Very inspiring stuff.

3. Loquai - Irish Lore (Original Mix)

The haunting vocal and the catchy melody with that dark groove was a certified banger in my books.

4. Komytea - Electro House Is Dead (Original Mix)

This was a fresh sound for me back then - Super good minimal groovy progressive.

5. Pedro Aguiar - Ego Tripping (Guy J Remix)

Timeless masterpiece. I heard this tune on Guy J’s Ultra Music Festival 2015 mix and I was simply blown away by every element in the track. And, that mix is definitely a masterpiece too.

6. Head Honcho - Walls Of Jericho (Original Mix)

This track is way before I got introduced to the sound, but I am lucky I stumbled upon this one after rummaging through some seriously dope mixes by Anthony Pappa on Youtube.

7. Nikko.Z - The Lizard Kind (Luke Porter Remix)

Everything Luke Porter made was gold and I absolutely enjoyed listening to this one so much. The melody in this one, to me, is sinister and one that builds a lot of anticipation.

8. King Unique - Feniksas (Fergie Remix))

A hypnotic classic in my books. Love it from start to finish.

9. Neil Quigley & Cylon - Clear For Take Off (Neil Quigley Remix)

Distinctly remember taking off from the seat when my friend played this in a house party. Good times!

10. Way Out West - Spaceman (Robert Babicz Remix)

Another classic banger. I got the chance to listen to Robert Babicz in a seminal club in Singapore - kyo on my birthday, and when Robert Babicz dropped this tune, my night was made.
