Not yet published on Soundcloud, so https://audio.ra.co/podcast/RA774_210405_Channel-Tres-residentadvisor.net.mp3 and https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ra-podcast/id129673441

He told RA that he took the time to explore "less polished" dance music, getting more into the roots of house. That's what his RA Podcast is all about, a leisurely hour that lets each track simmer and cook, from classic Peven Everett and Mike Dunn to Jack J's immortal "Thirstin'" and even a cut from Alan Braxe and Fred Falke. It's a mix that, like he's done so well since "Controller," highlights the melodic, sing-songy aspect of dance music as well as its funky, fat-bottomed side.

Tech House ... history...origins..."spiritual home in Croyden"-->commercialisation and "tribalisation"-->minimal...Romanian minimal...

Good video - Resident Advisor feature videos are always good.

The story behind the most misunderstood genre in dance music.

For well over a decade, tech house was commonly assumed to be a byword for uninspired, cookie-cutter dance music. Combining techno's outer-space sensibility with the swung grooves of house, tech house became largely associated with big-room commercial clubs, and the term was often casually used as a pejorative to describe any mid-tempo dance music thought to be in bad taste. But in recent years, that's started to change.

A new generation of DJs have been rediscovering the '90s productions that initially defined the tech house sound, tracks that are a million miles away from what the style transformed into as the 2000s progressed. Many modern listeners wouldn't think to associate these timeless tracks with what tech house became, which begs the question: what happened? What was tech house in the first place? Where did it come from? Why did it change? And why is it back? In this video essay, the DJs and producers who built the culture, watched it decay and reemerge, set the record straight.

First time I heard tech house was at the End in 2003/4, Subterrain I think. Sounds like I moved on from that scene before it went off a cliff. More likely to listen to hard bop or chamber music these days. Lol.
