This is not techno
Ok here we go. Thanks to many american people i feel like i have to provide some definition about the kind of music i mix as a DeeJay (Josh i think you are the only one who don't need to read it).
House music is of course an electo music (it means essentially made thanks to electronic) and it is a common point with techno. But except this point, techno and house are i would say totally different (even if some flavour of house like hard-house could be closer to techno but we will focus on the "initial" house music).
First of all even if you could think the opposite, House music find its initial inspiration in... Disco, when techno music is essentially about big beat and not that much melody and without real sources of inspiration.
Then i would say that House is usually slower than techno, usual house music is between 120 to 130 BPM (Beat Per Minute) when house usually start at 135BPM.
An other pointis that House music usually involve lyrics when techno usually doesn't have any (whe can also figure out that most of House music lyrics are about "happy" topics like love, oarty etc. and are made to make people dance).
On a more "musical" point, the bass beat in house music is only usually to indicate the rythm when it is a big part of a techno music composition, i like to say that if you cut the bass on a techno music the music you will hear won't make sense neither feelings but if you cut the bass on a House music it will still sounds like a music (even if it could loose a part of its power).
Explaining by example, try: Floorfilla "anthem 4" (Techno) and compare to Bob sinclar "Feel for you" (house music)
and you will understand that this is not techno!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
