That's like saying there's a fine line between epic trance and techno because you heard some tech-trance tracks. Tech-House sucks anyway, because it takes the funk and soul away from the house part, and the coldness, impersonality, and rhythm away from the techno aspect. What you're left with is neither techno nor house, but some kind of weird boring hybrid. Just housey sounds played in a more repetitive way. OOO that's some goood shiet. |
I am not solely talking about tech-house, and I disagree about it being repetitive and boring (if you're talking about stuff by Bryan Zentz, Smith & Selway, okay, then I agree though, it's not that interesting). What I was saying is that there are so many DJs (including the ones I've mentioned before) that have lots of house influences in their sets but are still considered to be techno DJs.. Now where is the sharp and well-defined border in that?
Just seems like a matter of definition to me, to you techno and house might be two very different things, to me they are not by any means. No further discussion needed I suppose.
