SoundSelection nailed it, as far as i'm concerned. If you want a record label to look at for similar things, I recommend Anjunadeep and Unreleased Digital. Some stuff might not be chill enough, but there'll be plenty that is. I'd look up either label on Beatport and work through all the recommended stuff. You're bound to find a ton of stuff by the time you're done going through samples of each track.
Here is a trance guide mix made over at /r/trance by /u/GouryellaIV. Progressive House? Over here, the warmy-beach plucky style is posted here alot, the older, darker sounding side reigns over at /r/realproghouse.
Funnily enough, putting Saiz's Balance to play mode was the first thing I did after arriving at home (that's even before launching reddit!) and it's the only piece of music which has had the prominence of being constantly in playlist throughout this summer. His top 20 will definitely be quite interesting. Thank you for sharing :)
edit: there also seems to be a lot of overlapping with my own favourites, such as: A Break in the Clouds, Chase, Hale Bopp, Sehnsucht and Holden's Fine Day (I can't remember whether it was ever even released). Also, someone should introduce him to this. :p
This is a true classic, was my soundtrack of this winter season. So good. Check out Sasha's GDJB guestmix / Diversified Episode from mid-June 2004 if you like this one.
edit: added a direct link
just fyi, there are two sapporo's floating around. one contains just remixes of the track sapporo, the other one's an ep with a variety of other songs, with "move on" being one of my favorites.

i mainly spin prog house/trance myself as well. rare to see other prog house mixes here on reddit too! thanks for the upload
after listening to your mix a couple times i do have some comments:
some transitions werent as smooth and "progressive" as they could be simply because the track were different keys to begin with. the mix between mossy's "after the sunrise" and deadmau5's mix of "you and i" clashed simply because they were different keys, not becuase you train wrecked the mix. try using programs such as mixed in key to help with this.
effects are your friend! especially in the middle of the mix where the energy is high dont be afraid to use some effects to enhance different drops in the track or make quick and efficient transitions from song to song.
even though i understand the reasoning behind playing out these progressive tunes basically from start to finish. i would recommended trying to cut down the playing time of each track down to around 3-5 minutes to keep listeners interested and on their toes. this may be just my personal taste so dont take this comment too harshly
on a different note, i loved how your mix flowed from a very mellow start to a more electro feel in the middle and finally calming down again to finish of the mix. i also enjoyed all the tracks in the mix which is the honestly the most important part of any mix no matter how well done it may be. great organization and track selection is the fundamentals to any great mix... all you have to do now is hone in on those details!
subbed on soundcloud. looking forward to your new stuff man!
This year for me has been all about Guy J... Fixation, Rose, the Twisted remix, Turquoise remix, the Persistence remix, the Forme remix, but especially Lost & Found.
Seriously, just go and listen to everything on the man's SoundCloud.
Plus, he signed my copy of Henry Saiz' remix of his track Lamur... so that makes us BFFFFFs, right guys?
On other people who have done cool stuff, you'll have to wait as I go through my records. I mean that, like, listening to records, and to see what I have written down, hah.
Btw, since this is ProgHouse please take a listen to my more subtle tracks! Thoughts and also Fading Resonance . Feed back appreciated!
Very nice track man, I'm diggin' it. I agree with Aerocity that the lead should be just a tad louder, other than that it's a really solid track. I just started producing and could use some advice, I actually just put out a proghouse song a few days ago if you want to give it a listen. https://soundcloud.com/engelwoodmusic/engelwood-mangs
Here's the lineup from that night. I've posted on Niko Zografo's facebook wall and he said that it's not him spinning, but he'll ask the other openers. All local DJs in the bay area. I know most of the tracks in the video, I recorded them because I had been going nuts over them around that time of the year :P
I have a hunch it was DJ Blurr spinning, actually. I'll contact him on facebook or something.
Oh I actually already have that track haha. Yeah it's good, I used to really like Mango back in 2008-09. I'd say my favourites by him are Handelskai and Friday Coffee.
I checked to make sure I got the genre correct by looking at Beatport and it is listed as progressive house. I was a bit surprised when I saw it too though.
Anyone interested in more good progressive trance, check out anything on the Anjunadeep label.
There's also progressive house in there, but the label was spun off from Anjunabeats, a trance label.
I just realised Don't Weigh Me Down qualifies as him as well... that's been my favourite recently, and will probably stay so - the deepness is immaculate.
