Progress Inn

Progress Inn is the DJ/production duo consisting of Janko Dragovic and Igor Kadic. Both guys, originally from former Yugoslavia, are now based in Perth, Western Australia. As Progress Inn, they make and play a variety of music, but their main sound is progressive and techno with the philosophy that it has to be groovy and it has to be deep. They started DJ-ing and releasing their tracks in 2008. They have already had releases on Obstacles Recordings (their own label) as well as Baroque, Vibrating Balance, Wandler, BeatGeek Records, Lemans Recordings and Balkan Connection. Their tracks have been received very well in the DJ community. The release with their remix of Brisker & Magitman’s tune “Minority” was charted #1 on the ProgressiveHouse.com promo chart pool and was consequently re-released on two other labels. Ranking number 1 in the Perth Dance Music Awards for Best Progressive DJs in 2010 and 2011, Progress Inn has been hailed by many as an exceptional experience in which Igor and Janko seamlessly weave their broad musical influences through energetic and groovy music that always has the dance floor burning. By using two laptops and MIDI controllers, they manage to create a sound and atmosphere like no other artist. Progress Inn appear regularly for Perth’s premium promoters such as Boomtick, The Likes of You and many others as well as their own parties. They have supported numerous world class acts such as Hernan Cattaneo, Timo Maas, James Zabiela, Lee Burridge, Guy J, Robert Babicz, Radio Slave, Xhin, Satoshi Tommiie, 16 Bit Lolitas, James Holden, Stephan Bodzin, Yousef, Jamie Stevens, Audiojack and many more. In 2009 Progress Inn embarked on their first European tour. They delivered their trademark energetic sound around Europe, appearing at gigs in Spain, Slovakia and Serbia. They played to crowds who fell in love with their music as much as people from Perth! In 2010 they established themselves firmly as one of Perth’s favourite acts culminating in the appearance at Stereosonic Festival, which was followed by their appearance at Future Music Festival and Creamfields in 2011. In 2011 they also focused more on building their label, Obstacles Recordings, which will be showcasing some of the best music from around the world. They worked hard on their productions as well which will be released on labels such as Vapour, Replug, Open, Contrast and Pure Substance. Expect to hear the name Progress Inn a lot more in 2012 as they push on with their productions and gigs as well as embarking on another tour!
