Tech house gets more abuse than any other dance genre and most of it is deserved, which makes the practitioners who take it seriously worth seeking out specifically. Stripped of the novelty vocals and the comedy drops it is an austere, functional music concerned entirely with making a room move efficiently, and in the right hands that efficiency becomes hypnotic rather than boring. A Saturday night in a basement on Las Palmas, the system doing the heavy work, nobody filming. The floor will be full by midnight and stay that way. Go if you have written the whole genre off on the strength of what gets played at festivals, which is a bit like judging guitars by stadium rock. The regulars here treat Saturday as a standing arrangement rather than a decision, and that steadiness is what lets a venue book something unfashionable without worrying.
