Fuck man, just because you got tech house it doesn't mean you can't dig and play interesting and obscure records. You just sound bitter because you got a genre you don't like. Listen to elFreak and RJT sets to hear it done properly.

When i got picked to do eurodance i was fairly pleased since i love this music, it's the greatest style of dance music known to man after disco. I play eurodance quite fast in both ways (pace & trackselection) since i think it's more fun this way. normally i don't even do much than a 4bar transition but there is more actual mixing on this.

there is some vocaloverlapping on this and so is some synth on synth overloading but i tried as much as possible to minimise both. I also tried to steer away from using as much of the big anthems as possible. if you feel the need to hear 'what is love' or 'rhythm is a dancer' or 'mr. vain', go on youtube instead. I also wanted to play some of the lesser known tracks and a number of my personal favourites.

Basd, i played three alban tracks but bear in mind there was a challenge of working in the tracks i like the most since both 'it's my life' and 'look who's talking' are housebased and so are their remixes.

Anyhow, enjoy the musics.

Haha, I feel your pain. You're gonna have a massive challenge in attempting to stand out in the myriad of slow techno mixes that sound more or less interchangeable with tech house these days.

If you want some inspiration, I recommend Craig Richards' Essential Mix from '04:

Craig Richards - Essential Mix 20.06.04

Automat - Nematod (Scsi-Av)
Sweet 'n Candy - Abflug Zu 64 (Lebensfreude)
Dandy Jack & Les Fleurs Du Mal - Le Serpent Qui Danse (Telegraph)
Panash - Cheval (Atavisme)
Headcore - Down (Versatile)
Pysan - Tha Norm (Bittersweet)
Ozy - Imaginary Rock Star Syndrome (Trapez)
Jeff Samuel - Maru (Deep Night)
Swag - Drum Hydraulics (Soul Capsule Remix) (Tyrant)
Ratio - Motorcity (Daniel Bell Remix) (Central)
Robag Wruhme - Jena Makks (Minor Modern)
St. Plomb - A Bat In My Shoe (Mental Groove)
Thomas Brinkmann - Nauten (Max Ernst)
Sand 11 - Next Bus (Ladomat 2000)
Ellen Allien - Astral (BPitch Control)
Mike Ink - Playing With Knives (Kompakt)
Basteroid - Nerd With A Bird (Sender)
Alter Ego - Mensa (Klang Elektronik)
Motor - 1.1 (Salo)
D.Diggler - Womanizer (Raum...Musik)
Brtschitsch & Galluzzi - Blaulicht (Taksi)
Joel Mull - Check The Vibe (Plumphouse)
Attila Jahanvash - Like A Virgin (Z-Schallplatten)
Dr. Shingo - The Whiteroad (Art Of Perception)
Pom Pom - Untitled (Pom Pom 009)
The Unknown Soldier - Hesitation (UR)
Arpanet - Wireframe Images (Record Makers)
Delon And Dalcan - Dunufus (Boxer Sport)
Fregna - The Age (Pigna)
Basteroid - Against Luftwiderstand (WeltZwei Remix) (Areal)

It avoids becoming too plodding and bland, and is still quite bouncy and danceable. It just needs some Swayzak.

No shit, Sherlock. It's fairly obvious that I don't like tech house. What's annoying is that I've got a genre that:

A) Is crap.
B) Is incredibly straightforward to mix.
C) Everyone has hammered the shit out of in the past three years.

If the aim of the game is to give people something unfamiliar to them so they can have fun exploring it and deliver the kind of mix you don't hear on TA very often, tech house is exactly the wrong genre for me.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm going to try my best on this one.

i wouldn't doubt that you know many of them because a) eurodance is the greatest music known to man b) karim told me that ontario&quebec had a strong eurodance scene, infact the whole numuzik label released epic ammounts of quality eurodance
