I knew dubstep was losing popularity in the mainstream lately but I didn't know it had lost that much :eyes:
I for one welcome our new deep house overlords. |

I wonder where progressive house would sit if it wasn't constantly mis-labeled at Beatport.
Funny seeing the demographic 'mature' into deep house over the long run though. |

| Interesting graph, if only it meant anything, considering Beatport's atrocious reputation of mislabeling and miscategorizing ing everything. |

| 2006 was surely the year of electro house. most people hated it but it was awesome club music imo. |

It means plenty, provided you spend enough time on Beatport to know what Beatport means by each of these categories. The labels choose the genres for the tracks themselves, so even if they are wildly inaccurate from what the "true" genre is, the graph shows very accurately what movements and buzzwords were trendy over the last decade, quite literally in the sense of showing the trends they followed.
Probably most surprising for me is that tech house has remained so popular, when it definitely felt to me like it fell off a couple of years ago to be replaced by deep house. I know the graph does show that, but I wouldn't say tech house is the #2 sound you hear out in clubs in 2014, although that probably owes something to the malleability of the term and something to the clubs I go to. |

Lol @ dubstep. That's the quickest fad I've ever heard in music. Good riddance.
In other news, trance is coming back! :o |

DJs need their upfront Tech House tools since they date within weeks. The whole genre strikes me as one that practically lives off the impulse buy, where even the slightest rhythmic variation will be downloaded for 'potential future consideration'.
Either that, or the DJs are really, really, really dedicated to the labels they follow. |

Tech house tracks are great to be used as tools, or to bridge from one genre for another. I seriously doubt many are playing full sets of this stuff anymore. |

| Yeah, I guess a lot of the heads-down bassy tracks you will hear in a house set are probably being sold as "tech house", whereas the bombs you actually remember won't be. |
