Tech House: BPM, keys and energy

Born in the mid-1990s where house meets techno, tech house keeps the groove of one and the dry drums of the other. It's one of the most consistent genres for tempo: almost everything fits in a narrow range, which lets you run long sequences without touching the pitch. Vocals are often short repeated phrases, easy to layer.
