Cone made a pilgrimage over to Bradford (UK) on Saturday night to experience 'Progressive', described as a night for clued up clubbers, two floors of musical quality were in action. floor one, saw an awesome breaks fest in action with DJ's Savannah stoking the embers, with the Janatah's and Parody to follow. Floor two, saw Progressive residents 'the aziz' brothers, Wayne Higgins & Keef Woods along side Roger Samuel (RAJA) - fresh from washington DC & Steve Porter (bedrockrecords, USA), keeping things cooking nicely.

Despite a fairly low attendance, this didn't detract from the vibe of the place. Definitely, 'how it should be' clubbing with an attitude of old. Excellent. If your looking for a true 'underground' clubbing experience run by people with a passion for the music and not so much with lining of pockets, get down to Progressive as soon as you can.

Greetings to Keef, Wayne, Clod, Savannah, Tom (Autobots) we'll have a longer chat next time! and Jay/Don.
