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.

Quote: "Tech House is what girls call techno and boys call house" (Layo Paskin)

Main exponents of the genre include Terry Francis, Nathan Coles, Asad Rizvi, Ricardo Villalobos, Layo and Bushwacka, Lee Burridge, and Craig Richards.
