Is Deep House really Tech House?
View this Thread in Original format
Zharen
Been wondering lately. I've talked to a few people who are making the claim that because deep house back in the 80's was actually considered tech house, most deep house of today is really tech house. This doesn't really sound right to me but I thought I'd pose the question here as I know you guys have a lot more background with these genres and I'm still exploring it. But the Timewriter is a tech house artist? wtf?

No, it isn't.
Neon Sky
no.

Ok great. Now can anyone post some more information on the origins of deep house and tech house? I feel the need in learning some history, so I'm better informed next time someone tries making another assertion as to this.

When people try to tell you what it is that specifically defines a genre you should just ask them where you can find the source for their definition. Is it in the EDM handbook they give to ravers at their bar mitzvahs? Is it what Ishkur says? Who determines what qualifies as this genre or that?

:conf:

I think people generally have an idea of what is this or what is that, but there is so much ing overlap and there are so many shades of gray for each genre that nailing down some argument so that you can own your friend when they try to tell you something is this or that is a truly, truly tedious and pointless affair.
