All dance music features drum beats that are favourable for DJs that like to beatmatch their records, as it allows them to mix two or more tunes together with an almost seamless sound to it. The changes and progressions in progressive dance music are relatively subtle. Unlike the obviousness of hard house or Hi-NRG, the peaks and troughs in a track tend to be less obvious. Layering different sound on top of each other and slowly bringing them in and out of the mix is a key idea behind the progressive movement.
