Passive Progressive Whispered about on the street and described as the equivalent of ‘luxurious fine dining for your ears,’ Passive Progressive’s unique approach to electronic dance music is lush, original, and deliciously organic in both his productions and DJ style. Floating somewhere in between trance and house, his smooth straightforward beats, airy synth stabs, and laidback ambiance can sound at home in a big room venue, yet also fit perfectly in a more intimate party atmosphere.
Harris (1988), the person behind the guise, greeted the dance music scene from Lubbock, Texas with his debut single ‘Hide Away’ released on Armada’s S107 Recordings label in early 2009. This song received plays from the top DJs in the scene, including Above & Beyond, Tiësto, Ferry Corsten, and Armin van Buuren to name a few. In late 2009, Above & Beyond made their own personal edit, and it has become a favorite during their recent gigs. Being featured on ‘Trance Around the World’ a total of 8 times throughout 2009 and even into 2010, ‘Hide Away’ became the one of the most played tracks in the radio show’s history.
2010 already sees a bright future for Harris’s rather special sound, including remixes for Jaren, Michael Badal, and a brand new single featuring the very talented Jonathan Mendelsohn.
