Music style guide

Tech house

Tech house connects a house groove with a leaner, percussion-focused electronic approach. Bass lines, short vocal phrases and repeated rhythmic ideas often provide the arrangement’s center of gravity.

What to listen for

Listen for the small rhythmic adjustments. A change in percussion or the removal of one element can redirect an otherwise consistent groove. Use the artist profiles below to hear how different musicians approach this sound. These are listening connections, rather than a claim that each artist works exclusively within one style.
