Hey there Phil, I have been watching the tech house tutorials and seems like there are really different types of tech house, really underground sounding, perc driven and then the ones that are more mainstream like Mark Knight stuff, basslines etc.br
br
What makes tech house, tech house? I am kind of lost in genres right now, music I make sounds underground but has melodies and harmonies from progressive house but also has nice percussion tracks with solid basslines.br
br
br
For example, tracks like these examples, what makes them tech house?br

Eric Prydz is a bit progressive house anyway.br
br
br

Genres tend to shift over the years… tech house use to be stabby and driving with chunk beats now its more minimal with softer stabs and more percussion.br
br
Progressive house im just not sure anymore… i think in the US they consider the melodic chory stuff progressive but i still consider Daniele portman style to be prog.br
br
I dont think it really matters what its called as there are so many trends and variations its hard to keep up.br
br
following particular lables or producers is a good way to see where things are going. and what way the trends are heading… im suggesting you jump on a particular bandwagon but its still worth trying to understand whats going on and try to be ahead of the game.br
Yeah true, like Daniel Portman - You’re not Alone is listed as minimal but to me it sounds like progressive as well. br
br
br
I am just trying to get my production better in a way that I can grab the things that I like from different genres and make solid sounding tracks. I got some good news really soon as well. About to be the next Sonic Success
