Your guide to one of house music’s most prominent & popular subgenres today - tech house.

Tech house is a subgenre of house music that combines stylistic features of techno with house. Emerging in the mid-1990s as a reaction to the explosion and popularisation of house music, tech house was created by DJs in UK clubs. In recent times, tech house is one of dance music's most popular subgenres, dominating festival stages and clubs across the world.

Pete puts together a potted history of the genre, with music from originators including Terry Francis, Mr. C and the headliners of today including Fisher, Dom Dolla and more. Bushwacka! provides his essentials and Fleur Shore provides her Tech House Starter Pack.

Plus, there's a Radio 1 Dance Rewind of a mix Michael Bibi provided for Pete's Friday night show back in 2023.
