im listening to alcachofa atm
still not feeling it
i hate when i cant like things

house music with techno music production

>is just completly boring and soulless.

for the most part, yes. you have to remember that was a product of its time, and in general the period when it was popular (~2003-2009) wasn't a good period in general for house music

but when it hits the spot, like in Vocalcity, the result is amazing

>what should be my approach towards this genre?

focus more toward mixes than listening to 9min tracks that are, for the most part, not that interesting

>textures? the production?

depends on the producer

>house music with techno music production
what is "techno production" and how it differs from "house prod"?
sorry if im being annoying.
i dig house music when im in the mood, electronic in general, but im still really uneducated.
also
this alcachofa album is starting to get me, really chill stuff, which i could listen to this high but im on a weed break

the funk/traditional house basslines replaced with 'techno' pads and whatnot. no pianos, vocals are chopped/distorted, 'microsampling', etc etc

for every luomo, villalobos and luciano there were a thousand rich berlin kids each producing one EP a week filled with boring af 'tech house'

not a good period for house music to be honest senpai

in case you didn't know, Luomo tried to make a tech/minimal house album that encompassed most of the cliches of house music. that's why the album sounds 'cheesy', but the production is absolutely phenomenal. Sasu Ripatti is pure producer porn

This. Fucking entain or kuopio

I fucking love Vocalcity, used to alway put it on when I had to get work done or concentrate on something. Still love listening to it.

>>60281375 is right, for the most part 'tech-house' is pretty boring stuff. but Vocalcity is definitely one of the best imo.

Maybe try listening to later Luomo stuff? If I recall his later releases are a lot more poppy although not as truly minimal. Idk man if you really don't like something then don't bother. It's definitely worth giving that album a few tries though

Where should I start with minimal techno / minimal house? I know Basic channel and The field

>>60281271
>boring

yea I can see how people can find it boring

>soulless

nahhhh famm, ur wrong

it's music to listen while you drive girls home from the club in your bmw
