Like its predecessor progressive house, progressive trance features complicated chord progressions and a free-form style derived from a combination of techno and house. The style evolved during the '90s in the U.K. with the rise of pioneering artists Paul Oakenfold (Perfecto), Sasha (Excession), and John Digweed (Bedrock), simultaneous with the development of house and trance.
