You know the one I am talking about, like in this song ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnxr9fWUaXU ), not the main electro instrument making the melody, the background synth going, "dun dun dun dun dun". Basically every progressive house song has that same synth. I was curious who the first person to make a song using the official progressive house synth was? Must have been a good song if it was good enough to spawn an entire genre 8o

Deadmau5 seems to have made it popular and mainstreamish, but I doubt he was the pioneer/inventor of that style
 
see chicago house, & detroit acid...

idk if your talking about a trance-bump, or a straight beat, but both have been used in music a long time.

in classical wouldnt this be considered a "canon" of sorts.
it easily could of come about accidently, mixing two records with one a step behind.
the straight beat, is only an glorified metronome...
;)
this also could of easily been improvised with a sleeker disco sound/formula;
more mixing friendly.

The sound I think your reffering to comes from a roland tb - 303 drumachine.Its a distored bassline. do asearch onit.Detroitwould be where it was first used for electronic music for the most part.It wasnt designed for it but rather for one man bands playing in pubs etc
 
yes ~
then those vinyl from detroit ( acid[mind], techno[body] house[soul]) went to the UK, trance(emotion) or our familiarity of "tance" was born; then off into goa india where drum circles and hippydom was incorporated, creating psy/goa.(the infinity project)

king tubby created the mixer/dub and incidently jungle.( see also african bambaataa)(energy)
kraftwerk gets 85% credit for analog music.( simple vision)
 
Didn't really word the thread originally how I wanted correctly, I guess I meant who was the first to produce a "progressive house" song, if it's even traceable to just one person?
 
Its too hard to say as I dont believe it really came from one person. It developed over time from the Chicago deep house scene (check out modern producer Claro Intellecto but listen to oldskool chicago-based house) and rode on from the Jeff Mills sounds of the 90's....It was more a conglomerate of many artists and developments....I dont really know who was the first to use that specific 303 style synth stab
