STOP THE TECH-HOUSE TAKEOVER

Much like Japanese Knotweed, the invasive garden plant that spreads quickly and is an absolute bastard to get rid of, tech-house has taken over underground dance music with a death-like grip and is refusing to let go.
From the grime producers frantically re-editing classic tracks to fit the tech-house template to the chart-topping electronic songstresses using the sound on their comeback singles, it’s clear the infection has spread far and wide.
And it’s not only niche snobs who are getting pissed off, but respectable, BBC-approved tastemakers, too. The other day, Annie Mac tweeted: “Aahhh jeez, everyone’s making droney house.” By that, we’re assuming she means the drab, uber formulaic four-to-the-floor built from over-polished percussion, mind-numbingly simple chord progressions and sappy basslines. It’s paint-by-numbers dance music and it’s coming for you.
Clubs in London are currently flooded with these monochrome beats but it’s not just the UK capital that’s in trouble. From Miami to Berlin to Sao Paulo to Ibiza, tech-house has swept through like a dense iron curtain that blocks sunlight and crushes all living sonic cultures in its path.
Imagine a bland new world over which tech-house rules. Dancefloors are awash with soulless, globular tunes that, pitched at 123bpm, turn formerly hype party kids into vacant rave zombies; high street shops stock nothing but cheap aviator shades and V-neck T-shirts; shuffling becomes a recognised sport, replacing football on school curriculums; tribes of suburban lads overturn the local authority and police the streets, enforcing their own brand of steroid-ridden martial law; ketamine consumption quadruples and hospitals struggle to cope with the increase in burst bladders. Things get very, very bleak.
But why the obsession with tech-house? Producers seem seduced by its lowest common denominator template and its sleek, chrome edges. But most of all they seem infatuated with its accessibility and the way it hypnotises people in the club. Tech-house works during the warm up, the peak time and the come down because it literally never changes; it’s aural crack for people who only seem to want a dull, thudding beat. Or something inoffensive they can talk over easily and which sounds half decent after necking a mega pill.
As the tech-house blob bounces into the future of dance music, flattening genres in its wake and pulling hapless beat makers into its sticky slipstream, it’s worth taking stock of what’s actually going on. While visions of a dystopian techy future might be a bit far fetched, this wretched genre is actually homogenising underground dance music. Everyone’s making it and everyone’s trying to make money off it, sucking creativity out of an area of electronic music that should be fervent and forward thinking.
It's not that tech-house is inherently bad or evil; millions of people genuinely do like it. It's just that the march towards homogeneity, towards standardisation with once-experimental producers starting to make slick, vacuous music. Dance music should thrive on difference - anything else is worse than evil - it's boring.
It won’t be easy to get rid of and it’ll be around for a while yet, tentacles climbing up the iTunes/Beatport/Top 40 charts with ease. But there’s ways of combating it. Next time you see your favourite producer start to waver and reach for the tech-house sample pack, go grab them and let them know how you feel. Snap them out of the trance by pledging allegiance to their originality. Because there’s more to dance music, way more, than tech-house.

EDM : Tommie Sunshine takes on ‘underground nut-jobs’ with ‘Where's The #EDM?’ mix

In his own words, the last few weeks have been “pandemonium” for hirsute dance music ambassador Tommie Sunshine. At the Amsterdam Dance Event last September, inthemix heard Sunshine expertly lead the panel ‘The United States Of EDM’, easily one of the most well-attended during the conference. Throughout the panel, the Chicago-bred DJ returned to the point that the U.S. ‘EDM’ boom should be welcomed, not agonised about.
“This is not a conversation anymore, it just isn’t,” he told the room. “There is plenty of pie for everybody. If you want to be David Guetta and write pop records, that’s fine. If you want to be Seth Troxler and freak out and play crazy music and eight-hour sets, there’s plenty of room for that. They just don’t need to exist in the same place.”
Since then, Sunshine has kept up his side of the argument, largely on his superhumanly prolific Twitter account and via a Guest Editorial for The Huffington Post, ‘EDM Is Growing Up’. Early last week, he praised the Platinum success of Swedish House Mafia’s single Don’t You Worry Child as a sign of big things for dance music in 2013. The comment sparked a discussion with Ed Simons of the Chemical Brothers, who dismissed the song as “drivel” that “sounds like Nickelback”. As Sunshine put it at the time: “Why is everyone from the roots of this music so fucking salty about the ones who are going mainstream?”

Tommie Sunshine’s position that “there’s plenty of pie for everybody” continues to stir up debate. Now the DJ has put together a new DJ mix to address his detractors. The Soundcloud mix – titled ‘Where’s The #EDM?’ and adorned with a cut-out of Pitbull’s face – is an ode to his Chicago house roots, before the flammable term ‘EDM’ was even on the radar. The likes of Jesse Rose, Solomun, Tiger Stripes and Duke Dumont all make the cut.
“In all of the pandemonium of the last few weeks I felt it necessary to make a mix that reflects my roots in Chicago & shows all the Underground nut jobs who berated me that I do, in fact, know the difference between EDM & House Music,” he writes. “This is a listening mix mean to be enjoyed loud. Make no mistake that I’m going this direction with my live sets for 2013; this is just a love letter to the city that made me want to be a DJ. These artists above are some of the best ones making this deep style & their catalogs are worth exploring. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did making it. I hope you dance as much as I did while making it. This is House Music. Enjoy.”
