Progresivna Suza

Progresivna Suza was founded in 2018 as a spontaneous initiative by passionate fans of the progressive house genre from Serbia and Croatia. This organization aims to unite individuals from all over the world who share the same passion, live progressively as part of their daily life, recognize no borders, and want to express their feelings through music uniquely and intimately. From 2018 to 2020 During the group’s two and a half years of existence, as the number of new members grew, Progressive Suza organized over 20 parties in clubs in Belgrade and Novi Sad under the name Progressive Tales. Local support was provided by progressive house artists such as Bokee, Aćim, Jelly For The Babies, Popi Divine, and Miloš Miladinović, while well-known hosts like Lukai, Igor D., Aleksandar Marković, Hobin Rude, Despić, and Migazz also contributed. The indispensable podcast began its first season with a weekly show in collaboration with the DeGori Project in 2018. In the second season, the podcast adopted a new, independent name, Progressive Tales. Alongside main episodes, the podcast included bonus editions that offered an open opportunity and support for emerging young DJs from around the world. Over the first three seasons, more than 150 artists participated in the Progressive Tales podcast. Among the artists who collaborated with us are Cid Inc, Dmitry Molosh, Alex O’Rion, Kamilo Sanclemente, Anthony Pappa, Mauro Augugliaro, Kyoto, Lerr, Buba, DJ Ruby, Simos Tagias, Gux Jimenez, Eran Aviner, Ewan Rill, RIGOONI, Stereo Underground, Guy Milani, Forerunners, Lucas Rossi, Jelly For The Babies, and many more. 2020 – 2021 In early 2020, Progresivna Suza hosted its first international performer independently, the brilliant producer East Cafe from Hungary, at the DOT club in Belgrade. In collaboration with the Blender organization in 2021, we organized events such as Guy J All Night Long and DJ Ruby‘s debut at Barutana. During the pandemic-affected year, we hosted great artists on our YouTube channel including Subandrio, East Cafe, Gui Milani, DJ Ruby, Luciano Scheffer, Mauro Augugliaro, Missus, Andre Moret, Bachir Salloum, Lerr, Adnan Jakubović, Lukai, Buba, Despić, Hobin Rude, Igor D., Aleksandar Marković, JFR, Glow Funk, and Nichols. Over 60 episodes were aired daily under the title Antidepressive Tales. The first Suza Picnic at Košutnjak in Belgrade, held in June, gathered a large number of group members who enjoyed socializing and culinary specialties by Svetislav Đorđević. Following the launch of the official website, the content was enriched with numerous interviews featuring prominent artists from both global and domestic scenes, including Anthony Pappa, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Henry Saiz, Fernando Ferreyra, Navar, Sebastian Sellares, Antrim, Dmitry Molosh, DJ Ruby, Guy Mantzur, Audiostorm, Aćim, and many others. The site also includes member-written articles emphasizing educational content and a selection of the freshest tracklists for fans to discover. Simultaneously, Suza Shop was launched for both Serbian and global markets via Brendly and RedBubble platforms. The third anniversary was celebrated at the DOT club with a special guest from the Netherlands, the star of the Lost & Found label, Navar. 2022 In 2022, Progresivna Suza embarked on its journey with Suza Records, releasing its initial productions. The first few EPs were signed by Kyotto, Hobin Rude, Andres Moris, and Partenaire. The podcast lineup was reinforced with the Rove series, offering listeners a different sound and giving artists the freedom to showcase music across genres close to house. Fantastic journeys through organic, deep, micro, and tech house were shared by VieL, Erdi Irmak, Emotional Tourist, Mass Digital, Slow Hearts, Fernando Ferreyra, Nohan, Kento Kumazaki, Roger Martiney, and Yuichiro Kotani.
