Περιγραφή
Tech house is a subgenre of house music that mixes elements of techno with house music. The term tech house developed as a shorthand record store name for a category of electronic dance music that combined musical aspects of techno, such as "rugged basslines" and "steely beats," with the harmonies and grooves of progressive house. The music originally had a clean and minimal production style that was associated with techno from Detroit and the UK. In the mid to late 1990s a scene developed in England around club nights such as Heart & Soul, and Wiggle, the latter run by Terry Francis and Nathan Cole. Other DJs and artists associated with the sound at that time included Charles Webster, Bushwacka!, Dave Angel, Herbert, Funk D'Void, Ian O'Brien, Derrick Carter, and Stacey Pullen. By late 2000 London nightclub The End, owned by the former Shamen rapper Richard West (Mr C) and Laylo Paskin, was considered the home of tech house in the UK.

Characteristics

As a mixing style, tech-house often brings together deep or minimal techno music, the soulful and jazzy end of house, some minimal techno and microhouse (especially with a soulful feel, such as Luomo’s music), and very often some dub elements. There is some overlap with progressive house, which too can contain deep, soulful, dub, and techno elements; this is especially true since the turn of the millennium, as progressive-house mixes have themselves often become deeper and sometimes more minimal. However, the typical progressive-house mix—which might integrate some funky house, trance, and even some hard techno at times—has more energy than tech-house, which tends to have a more “laid-back” feel. Tech-house fans tend to appreciate subtlety, as well as the “middle ground” that adds a “splash of color to steel techno beats” and eschews the “banging” of house music for intricate rhythms.
In contrast to most progressive house, which tends to have a progression over the course of the mix ending in an ecstatic release of energy at the end, tech-house often aims at achieving an even “groove...

Musical structure

As a musical (as opposed to a mixing) style, tech-house uses the same basic structure as house. However, elements of the house 'sound' such as realistic jazz sounds (in deep house) and booming kick drums are replaced with elements from techno such as shorter, deeper, darker and often distorted kicks, smaller, quicker hi-hats, noisier snares and more synthetic or acid sounding synth melodies from the TB-303, including raw electronic noises from distorted sawtooth and square wave oscillators.
Some producers also add soulful vocals and elements, and equally as much raw electronic sounds in their music. However, a rich techno-like kick and bassline seems to be a consistency amongst tech house music.

Electrotech

Electrotech arose in Western Europe in late 2000 as the result of mixing high-attack basses found in electroclash with general tech house structure. As such, compositions still featured simple, discernible lyrics and single-note basslines, however, the final sound had a somewhat rough, "fuzzy" attitude very commonly found in electroclash. Examples of electrotech include "All You Need" by Miss Kittin, "Keep Control" by Sono, "This World" by Slam and "I Want You" by Paris Avenue.

Deeptech

Deeptech or Deep Techhouse, is a tech house sub genre that fuses techno and the sub-genre deep house, using slower tempo, Latin percussion, soulful vocals, or vocal samples and longer note durations, which are very common in deep house, combined with drum distortion, side chaining compression, and heavy effects on vocals/samples, which are the norm in techno production. The songs or tracks in this sub-genre are known for a more relaxed groove, as opposed to tech house's upbeat feel. Artists such as Chris Coco and Miguel Migs have produced, and released Deeptech.


Exceptionalism often comes out of nowhere. Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Rush... ANTOINE’S LEGACY! This band of international stature now debuts with its first eponymous album. The album is a true work of art. One could easily compare the brothers Randy and Glenn Antoine with Eddie and Alex Van Halen. One plays guitar, the other drums. But the invisible lines are mainly defined by the intimidating quality of these brothers.
The early plans for Antoine’s Legacy were established in an attic. Now, after years of preparation, the band is ready to release them into the world. In collaboration with singer Marijn Geluk, the Antoine brothers recorded a piece of music that will make you immediately gasp for breath after a first listen. The impressive musicality of this rock band crosses all borders. For its self-titled album - Antoine’s Legacy - the band went into collaboration with American super musicians Derek Sherinian and Dave LaRue. Sherinian, former Dream Theater and Black Country Communion keyboardist, was very pleased to collaborate after he heard the first tracks. "Derek was extremely enthusiastic and was excited to play keyboards on the whole album", says guitarist Randy. Sherinian's imaginative and richly arranged melodies run like a thread through the six beautifully crafted songs. With LaRue (Flying Colors, Steve Morse Band, Joe Satriani), Glenn Antoine - perhaps the most talented Dutch rock drummer - was given the opportunity to collaborate with the rhythm section partner of his dreams. After all, this bass legend is responsible for the iconic basslines of these aforementioned artists.
Impressive one could say, but more was to come. As proof of the band's ambitions, Antoine’s Legacy decided to approach none other than mixing magician and engineer Paul Northfield to mix the album. "Paul fits the Antoine’s Legacy sound perfectly”, in the band's own words. Northfield was responsible for mixing albums of legendary rock artists including Moving Pictures by Rush, Operation Mindcrime by Queensrÿche and Systematic Chaos by Dream Theater. "We also had specific demands for the mastering. We wanted to work with someone who would understand our music." As a result, the Antoine brothers traveled to New York to master the album at the Sterling Sound Studio together with multiple Grammy Award winner Ted Jensen. The list of classic albums listed under Jensen's name is astounding. For example, he was responsible for mastering albums such as Hotel California by Eagles, Supernatural by Santana, Come Away With Me by Norah Jones and Resistance by Muse. Ultimately, however, Jensen's caliber is all about the quality of the songs.
Antoine’s Legacy is a band of international class and allure. A band that has everything in it to become one of the standard bearers of progressive rock. With this truly sensational debut album there is absolutely no doubt.
