One Channel in a Forty-Channel Network
TECHHOUSE is one of the themed streams run by RauteMusik, which first went on air on April 20, 2003 with a single main stream and grew within four years into one of Europe's biggest internet radio stations. Today the network offers around forty streams covering a wide range of genres. Radio directories such as TuneIn list this channel separately, and its pitch is simple: the best tech house mixes and deep house, 24 hours a day, aimed at tech house and minimal fans.
What Tech House Actually Is
The genre grew out of the meeting of Chicago house and Detroit techno in the early 1990s, and UK DJs helped shape it in London's clubs, according to Wikipedia's entry on tech house. British DJ Eddie Richards is often called its godfather. It began as a raw alternative to both the euphoria of rave and the commercial sound of mainstream house, and that groove-first, stripped-down character is what you will hear on this stream.
A Good Fit for a Cologne Broadcaster
RauteMusik is based in Cologne, a city with a real place in electronic music history. The record shop Delirium opened there in 1993 and was renamed Kompakt in 1998 when its founders started the label of the same name, and its Wolfgang Voigt, Jürgen Paape and Michael Mayer became the face of what magazines called the sound of Cologne, as Wikipedia's entry on Kompakt covers. Kompakt is known for microhouse and minimal techno, which sit right next to the tech house and minimal music this channel plays.
How It Sounds Day to Day
The Radio Shuffle description for the channel highlights tech house, techno, electro house and vocal deep tracks, with charts and hits in the mix and a mixture of English and German language vocals. That makes it a flexible stream, whether you want steady background groove for work or a longer session with the volume up.
