im guessing the issue people are having is that "tech-house" as a compound nowadays implies Poker Flat or Paul Woolford or all that stuff, which generally has a pretty cold vibe? although definitely i think the darker ends of ASE are somewhere around there

ah clear now, you were talking about the perception side not the production techniques

fair

160bpm!? so chemical records recorded this at the wrong speed, the instrumental still sounds good, like some sort of funky/south african house thing, check it:

LOL @ wiley releasing a song called "summertime" in the middle of october!

(i kinda dig the tune though ; )

also that "barry white" breakdown in 'the message is love' can't be taken seriously.....that's gotta be a joke!

does anyone happen to know anything about the last tune in the radio 1 kode9 set misser blackdown has pointed us towards in his article?

with the epic synths. I hope to hear this again somewhere else, I think he might have played it when he did a similar live set at plastic people, but I'm not sure

Nice reading as per usual, thanks for the Kode9's set.

Just a word for that Dusk+Blackdown tune titled Focus, a clearly approach to the Detroit techno crossed-over with that 2-step syncopation, sounds like how it would sound a classic such as Knights Of The Jaguar nowadays, very very good! Congrats for making it possible.

Big ups!

Get you, though "techno-house influenced" not the same as saying their "tech-house sound"!

I hear a balaeric, deep house, or liquid sound (apart from the obvious dub and step)

Peace.
