Prog/Tech House Recommendations? Do any of you budding DJ's and Dance Music fans have any recommendations for Labels/Artists or Albums that i should get ahold of? Ive started getting into more of the tech house and prog house side of things recently, and wanted to know if there were any places to start looking. Muchos Gracias!
Hmm i used to be an avid GU collector of the first 5-6 albums... are they still "hip" ? Oakenfold in oslo.... *drool*
the new Lee burridge CD is good. Check out the hyrbid albumn - morning Sci Fi....not prog or tech house, but still class.
Also Inland Knights Meat Katie Dlyan Rhymes Peace Division Jay Tripwire Phil Keiran Halo & Hip E Silicon Soul Lee Burrage Danny Howells ME there are loads m8, check most of that names in the thread, all worth a listen
Lexicon avenue and all the Forensic stuff. For tech house try all the end recordings stuff - layo & Bushwacka, Mr C etc ...
zzzzzz..... globa.. zzz.... too many sound the same! way out west - intensify and wow -2 cracking albums that'll blow yer balls off, nick warren is the daddy cass and slide - burning the candle at both ends is a little belter too... heard some gusgus stuff thats quite techy but thinks there all remixes... :worship: cass and slide + way out west :worship:
I can give you advice about the techier side of things! If your hoping to break through into the DJ scene, your only gonna get warm-up slots to begin with. Therefore my advice would be look at the deeper side of tech-house. Labels like NRK, Honchos, Shaboom, Soma and 20:20 Vision are all consistently good labels with excellent realeases. You may find that at the other end of the scale (ie the labels releasing more peak-time stuff), are less consistent. Anyway happy-hunting and be original!
