COLL: The 4AM Sound of Tech House Label: Run Recordings/Lakeshore
Rating (scale of 1-10, 10 being best): 8
“Tech-house” is this new hip term for what we used to call progressive house, UK house, & acid-house in the early 90s – it’s basically the druggy shit you’d hear at underground parties at “4AM” when the E is on its last legs. Pioneered by crazy Brits like Evil Eddie Richards & Terry Francis – this sound is still cool today. It’s fast as techno but not as hard, it’s funky-bassy like house but not as organic. BPM range for this CD goes from 135-140 or so. The signature “tech-house” tracks are: 3,4,7,8,10,12,17.
1. Spoken word intro
2. Breakbeats – drops into synthy stuff
3. Pumpin’ 808s & claps
4. Multi-layered percussion w/ sample “work it” – made by my pal, SJ’s very own Lucas EBE Rodenbush
5. Dry & crispy beats w/ analog buildup
6. Bumpin’ rollin’ bassline, simple synth
7. Classic acid loop – gotta dig Terry Francis’ style
8. Bumpin’ minimal beats w/ robo-vocal samples – I love “Evil” Eddie Richard’s traxx
9. Beats & tweaky voc samples, simple synths
10. Solid crunchy beats & loopy synth effects
11. Big long synth tones, space-y break
12. Tweaky! Synths going nuts, big drum buildup
13. Trippy-dippy synthy house
14. Everyone seems to like this song – basically electro w/ some catchy sax loop
15. Ghetto-tech – breaks w/ silly effects
16. Back to tech-y effects/beats, grinding bass
17. Broken-up hard tech beats
18. Simple synth loops – kind of catchy, lots of percussive effects
19. Analog effect swirling over house beat
