Tech house is a subgenre of electronic dance music characterized by its fusion of minimalist techno and house music elements. Emerging in the 1990s, particularly in the UK and Europe, tech house is marked by its use of repetitive, hypnotic rhythms, often featuring prominent kick drums and hi-hats, accompanied by sparse, filtered melodies and atmospheric soundscapes. Typically, vocals are minimal or nonexistent, allowing the DJ to weave intricate narratives through subtle beat manipulations and FX processing. During its peak in the early 2000s, tech house became synonymous with underground club culture, providing a sonic backdrop for late-night dance floors. Its influence can be seen in later genres such as deep house and minimal techno, while its own evolution was shaped by the intersection of Detroit techno, Chicago house, and European avant-garde traditions. Notable for its emphasis on texture and mood over melody, tech house distinguishes itself from more energetic styles like trance and EDM through its focus on subtle, nuanced energy and its ability to craft immersive, dance floor experiences.
