Proggy (Progressive Psytrance) is a subgenre of psytrance with more melodic elements and less BPM (130-145) compared to regular Psytrance. The term is mostly used in Germany to [differentiate] between the subgenres of Psytrance.

It's called Proggy because the tracks have a progressive structure. Almost every track of the genre has characteristic breaks where the melody is being introduced and slowly build up by using audio effects or fx sounds. At the peak of the break there is often a short moment of silence or [something else] to capture the attention before the Kick+Bass is starting together with the elements that have been introduced during the the break.

After that other elements like Snares, Percussion, Vocals, Hats and Claps are being implemented one after another to keep the progressive structure and to make it more intense when the next element tops the already powerfull arrangement again.

The most noticeabe difference between Proggy and Psytrance is the warmer melodic sound compared to the more mechanical sound in Psytrance. Psytrance has also a different structure. It is not as clearly structured as Proggy. More [different one] shot sounds are being used in combination with other synth elements which are often not a clear leading element of track.

Compared to Psytrance, Proggy is more [minimalistic] because there are less different elements in one track but it is being made more [interesting] by using different audio effects on them.
