As promised, I'm dropping "Rave Machine," the latest from the Peak Hour House Music series and this one is a thumper! It's definitely darker than past efforts but looking back, that seems to be the norm around this time of year. I did my best to flesh it out with some Prog-House and Techno to keep it interesting. However, I'm beginning to wonder if the Tech House genre has maxed out its potential.
You, folks, know that over the years I bitch and moan about the state of the "hot dance genre" of the moment. Whether it be big room EDM anthems with the anticipated drop, the commercialization of Deep House which peaked in 2014 before rebranding itself "Future House" and the more recent Reggaeton trend, which wore out its welcome over a year ago (at least after "Despacito" was a worldwide hit).
While Tech House hasn't actually crossed into the mainstream, its popularity has swelled considerably to the point that there's just not a lot of originality coming out of its ranks. To be clear, there are some great tracks (included here) but it's best to try to mix in other genres to keep things interesting.  I may even go back and take a stab at the "Spin Me Around" set I put out in 2017, which incorporated a HUGE swath of genres that normally don't work well together in a set but for whatever reason, I managed to pull off. I enjoy the whole unpredictable nature of sets like that,
