Inger’s (@inger________) “Find You (Intro Mix)” lands at a moment where progressive house continues to rebuild its identity through consistency, taste, and long-term support from DJs who understand the format. Released via Reworck and already featured on Beatport’s Best New Progressive House, the track has quickly found traction with selectors like Hernán Cattáneo and Nick Warren, which says a lot about where it sits stylistically and how it translates in real sets.
What stands out with Inger is the path taken to get here. A former DJ who moved fully into production, the focus has shifted toward writing records that hold up across long-form sets rather than chasing quick reactions. That approach has already led to key moments, including Sasha playing “Wawa” at Tofte Manor and supporting “No More Wars” at Stereo Montreal, alongside backing from Patrice Bäumel. Those moments don’t happen by accident and instead reflect a consistent output that fits into the deeper end of progressive programming.
“Find You (Intro Mix)” follows that same direction as it sits at a calming and relaxing 103 BPM, which is a tempo range that works early in a set or as a transition tool, with structure and spacing that give DJs room to build. It is functional, restrained, and clearly designed with the dancefloor in mind rather than streaming-first listening. That discipline shows up across Inger’s catalog, where the focus stays on pacing, tone, and long-term usability inside sets.
The conversation below reflects that mindset. It stays grounded in curiosity, process, and the relationship between artist and music, with a clear emphasis on protecting the creative side as things start to scale.
Interview With Inger
What’s exciting you in music right now that might have surprised an earlier version of you?
What still excites me is that the energy hasn’t changed, the music keeps moving forward without losing what makes it special, and that’s exactly why I love it. I’m really glad people are still making those proper prog sounding tracks, the genre feels stronger than ever. It’s not only producers, but DJs and social media influencers who are pushing the sound further, giving it more reach and more depth.
Seeing prog alive, evolving, and still pumping the way it is, that’s what keeps me excited.
What practices help you stay curious as your career evolves?
I stay curious by checking in with what’s happening in the music world from time to time.
I listen to DJ sets and, just like years ago, I’ll hear a track that grabs me and immediately want to know who made it. Certain elements spark my imagination, and I love letting a track take me on a little journey in my head. When something really hits me, I want to know the person behind it, I want to shake their hand. Most of the time these tracks stay unidentified, so that mystery, that curiosity about who created this moment, is always at the front of my mind.
When was the last time you were on the dancefloor simply as a listener, and what did you take from that experience?
I don’t go out much these days, and even though I sometimes feel a bit of FOMO, I’m comfortable focusing on my music without staying up all night. I prefer day parties now, and the last one I went to was in the summer at Tofte Manor.
I was listening to Sasha and Digweed, and out of nowhere Sasha dropped my track Wawa, which had been remixed by James Harcourt. It was an incredible moment, completely unexpected, and something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
Have any emerging artists recently reignited something in you?
The inspiration is everywhere, I’ve been mentored by the Make Your Transition community run by Paul Nolan, which is full of amazing producers, and Four Candles has been incredibly helpful with my own production. Cortona, who runs Plastic Fantastic Records, has been a real supporter, and recently it’s been great to see Lloyd Barwood develop his sound further.
Being surrounded by people like this keeps that spark active.
How do you maintain your connection to the craft as it moves from passion to profession?
I try to keep my connection to the craft by giving it space.
I don’t want to take it so seriously that it stops feeling like my passion, so I let myself step back when I need to. I’m careful not to set unrealistic deadlines, and I don’t force myself into a pace that leads to burnout. Taking it easy, staying curious, and letting the music come naturally keeps the process enjoyable and consistent.
