prog house isn't really my thing. I can appreciate it as club music but my root into techno was dave angel, colin dale/faver, Carl Cox etc etc tapes in hardcore tape packs.
You are bang on the money about the indie dance crossover, well in London at least. Most of the balearic guys originated from that circuit.
There is a funny anecdote in one of them bpm documentaries where Dave Angel is like they (progressive boys) slow down techno and call it forward thinking, but I was playing it before them. Made me giggle.
