About
Tech house is a subgenre of house music that combines elements of techno and house. It generally incorporates the driving, repetitive rhythms of techno with the soulful melodies and vocals often found in house.
History
Tech house emerged in the mid-to-late 1990s, primarily in the UK and Germany, as DJs and producers began blending the harder edges of techno with the deeper, more melodic elements of house. It's a fusion of the two genres with artists experimenting with sounds from both scenes. Labels like 'Crosstown Rebels' and artists such as Terry Francis were influential in its development.
