I feel like mark knight is the gateway drug to proper tech house , and traditional house music and also some techno, he's not quite super experimental and avant-garde for the trailblazers that you will find on resident advisor , but yet I think he still is able to uphold himself near that crowd when he wants to ..also toolroom records has been putting out monsters as of late, probably one of the few consistent labels out there
Mark Knight is the fucking OG. Class DJ as well. If you're into big room house he's as good as it gets.

i wholeheartedly agree , and like i said his label is on absolutely fire right now and that is admirable in this digital era , check the link i posted
is it foreword thinking elevator music ?? no it isn't (no shot at ricardo villaobos because i love him to)
but if you just want some hands up in the air driving house music, he is your guy.
he has my respect, you can't really go wrong with him, you are pretty much guaranteed a good night

I need to look in to what he's putting out now.
He was putting out some good stuff back in the day and I thought he'd basically disappeared but it seems he kept chugging along with that brand of pumping house.

this is his latest track and its been making the rounds , currently charting on beatport, i guess you can say its big room tech house ish..so his sound hasn't proceeded much in the past 10 years however he has become more proficient , where he really shines is the output on his label and the consistency of which...

People around TA love to shit on big room tech house. Unless its bleep bloop minimal melodic Berghain stuff then "it must be Steve Aoki"
While that stuff has its time and place. There is nothing as fun as being at a party with hands in the air pumping big room tech house. Right now Toolroom is on fire. So many bomb after bombs.
Siege-Thinking is my favourite Toolroom track of 2019 so far.
Current Toolroom really brings me back to my old Funky Techno Tribe days in San Francisco. That whole generation of "big room filtered house/techno/disco" is back.

I like what I'm hearing LoveHate, it's got the flavor and the 2nd one has the soul.
