Tech house

Tech house is a subgenre of house music. Although it uses the same basic structure as house, Tech substitutes typical booming house kick drums with shorter, often distorted kicks, smaller hi-hats, and noisier snares. House's funky jazz loops are replaced with techno-sounding synth lines.
