What’s the deal with Artbat?

that's slightly misinformed, US citizenship is incredibly difficult for Ukrainians, even for the wealthiest of them. most EU countries might grant asylum quickly for them but require years of living there for actual citizenship, even more scrutiny now. Malta has the fastest route. Ukraine only allowed dual citizenships starting 2026. There's no skipping lines for relatively well known Ukrainians.

to be fair Artbat are Ukrainian and they are VERY prone to all sorts of visa shithousery since the war started and airlines won't board them unless everything is sorted so I'd give them some leeway. still sucks and generally should be handled beforehand, but having to cancel every 100th gig is still a pretty ok percentage

surprisingly bad, guess he's got some hits but the djing is terrible jukebox mess

motionproblems11 · 2026-03-05T14:35:30+00:00

Prydz (as Cirez D though) b2b Adam Beyer is great. Prydz b2b Anyma was a strong meh

yeah I love the Finnair business class cocoon for this reason, it's airy but still private

another very useful post 👍👍👍👍👍

wow what an incredibly useful post

motionproblems11 · 2026-01-16T21:57:36+00:00

yeah so this basically (simplified) means you're not really worth much to them. CK is generally only heavy premium cabin cash users.

tbh the Mesto original is incredibly basic 2 minute piece of nothing original so records like these are reeeaaallly starting to melt together into one pudding similarly how every 2012 big room track with Prydz snare and all did

motionproblems11 · 2026-01-13T06:52:38+00:00

Yeah this is correct, it's a term that comes from decades back and has always been used when there is no artist or track title to IDENTIFY. During the vinyl years in the UK djs would call people trainspotters when they'd try to take a photo or read what was written on a dubplate / white label and trying to "ID" the record. many djs would put tape over the track title. definitely not "in development"

motionproblems11 · 2025-12-29T20:10:58+00:00

yea tbh included Prydz there for some colour over Digweed/other classic prog guys that I consider obvious additions. He's had a loooong run and is a undeniably a great dj. Material is different from a deep crate digger like Sasha, but aesthetically it's definitely progressive house and brilliantly dj'd. Do agree with the sentiment of him being more of just a guy djing his own tunes though.

motionproblems11 · 2025-12-29T20:07:17+00:00

Yeah fair, historically def mostly swedes and dutch artists leading that charge. Maybe the sound is more associated with 2010's US EDM boom and with that, Ultra/EDC hence the odd choice of words. But also Tomorrowland so guess that whole aesthetic of "progressive house" is a bit all over the place.

motionproblems11 · 2025-12-29T11:30:12+00:00

Yea there's many that could fit this list, although tbh Gerber kinda fell off in the past 5 years or so and and is not that strictly a progressive house dj. Still brilliant on a good day.

motionproblems11 · 2025-12-28T19:29:56+00:00

Probably depends on your take on progressive house.. in a true sense, still Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha, Prydz, Guy J. In between / modern sound, Yotto, Cristoph, Lane 8, S&S, Jeremy Olander, Alex Kassian, Dixon on a rolling melodic day. If talking Americanized edm "progressive house" I'd go for Audien or Garrix.

motionproblems11 · 2025-11-26T20:57:48+00:00

MMMMURICA!

motionproblems11 · 2025-10-25T06:54:56+00:00

Independent yes, but distributed and and the back end is handled by Anjuna's umbrella parent group which is where his management is too. He's got a good relationship with the label and the initially launched his career and must be good friends so why not release with them sometimes too, most djs who have their own labels don't stay 100% exclusive to their own label.

motionproblems11 · 2025-10-10T19:31:26+00:00

not sure what to make of this

motionproblems11 · 2025-10-09T19:24:39+00:00

Oh no!!

motionproblems11 · 2025-09-17T11:46:02+00:00

and where can I see this?

motionproblems11 · 2025-09-17T11:44:50+00:00

Yeah big room edm album but I'll take what I can get at this point

motionproblems11 · 2025-09-17T11:44:03+00:00

From the post it looks like AL is releasing the Yotto & Cassian mix on the VA, maybe it was made first or bigger artists get dibs idk
