What do you play?

Music.

Oh.

but you can't deny there's tunes out there with elements and influences from both genres?

and both can be used, rather effectively, interchangeably (there's that word again) in a set.

EDIT: for further proof check the mix in my sig!

If you answer that question with "Tech House" or "Deep House" or "Techno" or "House" or just about any other genre, a hundred people are going to have a hundred different interpretations of what exactly your response meant.

I was meaning as a basic theme.

I never refuted that notion. In fact, when I play I try to incorporate many different genres, as do most djs.

Eh, true. But I think eradicating genre classification entirely would lead to utter vagueness. Plus, TA would break.

it all depends on whether the title of the track has an odd or even number

the germans hold that an odd number means "deep", even being reserved exclusively for "tech", while the chicago/detroit american midwest bloc claims the opposite.

i have heard tell of various scenes in the far reaches of the world that attribute ghastly names to the genre of tracks based on more arcane numerologies

Don't get snarky.

I would consider my style to be around the deep-tech-funk sounds, but I don't really look at music in that way. Fuck labels. Just play what you think fits.
