What happened to Tech House ?

Resident Advisor: What Happened To Tech House?



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74w...ResidentAdvisor





I think most here will disagree and hate the current trend of "Tech House" which mostly sounds like a slower version of 2014 big room music. Yes, it sounds nothing like the Terry Francis & Mr C of 20 years ago. But I still think there is a place for both sounds (that don't rely on cheese and big drops)

Just wish they wouldn't call the current Tech House sounds "Tech House" and just stick with "House" but to each their own.

The first tune in the video (O.H.M. - Oceanic) is not tech-house. (Not even old tech house.)

Like almost every genre (deep house, trance, prog, techno) its meaning has evolved so much down the years you need to be a dance music historian to link all the many things that have been described as "tech house". And certainly it's currently undergoing the dreaded commercialisation phase which drives the original scene purists mad.

For what it's worth, in the last couple of years I've really got into the original '90s tech house sound. It had more influence on the evolution of Sasha and Digweed than most people realise. Listen to Terry Francis' Architecture mix CD from 1998 and tell me it wouldn't be a superb warm up set at Twilo.

I'm sure it would be; in fact it put me in mind of this by Sean Cusick at Twilo, nearly twenty-one years ago.





Although speaking of Sasha and Diggers I think their style of playing at Fabric circa twenty years ago (and I guess what came after) was more akin to the Architecture kind of stuff than their Twilo pumping.

Sasha has said himself he was very influenced by playing the Tyrant parties with Lee Burridge and Craig Richardson, the latter of whom obviously became Fabric resident alongside no less than Terry Francis. It definitely became the case by the end of the '90s that Sasha (and Digweed) would start playing tech house tracks very early on in their sets before building up to progressive, and this ultimately was probably a big factor in the evolution of the "dark tribal prog" sound of 2001 - less big melodies, more drums and basslines.

Tech House and Progressive have a lot more similarities than most people want to admit.

i dont think tech house is necessarily dead, its just the bulk of a set nowadays isn't made up of entirely tech house songs, i noticed a lot of dj's are mixing it up, which is a good thing.
