Acid house’s minimalist production aesthetic combined house music’s ubiquitous programmed four-on-the-floor 4/4 beat with the electronic squelchsound produced by the Roland TB-303 electronic synthesizer-sequencer by constantly modulating its frequency and resonance controls to create movement in otherwise simple bass patterns. “Exploration of texture” is preferred over melody; “a refusal of the metaphysical priorities of western music discourse.” [6] Other elements, such as synthetic strings and stabs, were usually minimal. Sometimes tracks were instrumentals such as Phuture‘s ” Acid Tracks“, or contained full vocal performances such as Pierre’s Pfantasy Club’s “Dream Girl”, while others were essentially instrumentals complemented by the odd spoken word ‘drop-in’, such as Phuture’s “Slam”.

Industrial Techo style tracks made by Rory
hard but tuneful, banging but thoughtful, uplifting and trancey British house that, while most at home with the trendier Balearic crowd, is just as capable of entrancing up a rave crowd. Once again, it’s possible to go out and hear mad but melodic music that makes you want to dance. Progressive House we’ll call it. It’s simple, it’s funky, it’s driving, and it could only be British

Tech house is usually grittier, tougher and chunkier than house, but not as much as techno. Tech house rolls more than house (which typically swings), but doesn’t pulsate or slam in the way that techno does

Although described as having a “techy” feel, techstep’s relationship with techno should not be overstated. It shares the technique of creating a high-energy collage from abstract, synthetic noises, including samples, bleeps and squelches: it rarely uses instruments that have not been processed by effects.
