Wednesday's Production Breakdown: Dissecting what's working in tech house production right now through the lens of Toolroom Amsterdam 2025. What you'll get in under 5 minutes: - Toolroom Amsterdam 2025 dropped October 10th—52 tracks across house and tech house - Tech House Mix: 1 hour 20 minutes, 126 BPM, C Major - Key producers: Mark Knight & Roland Clark, Piero Pirupa, Tony Romera, Crusy, Fedde Le Grand, Eats Everything, Jewel Kid, Illyus & Barrientos, Gene Farris - Toolroom A&R priorities: "tougher but still funky" sound with warmer, bouncier, more soulful elements than traditional techno - Clean mixdowns are essential—tracks need "moments" like strong riffs or builds - Production trends: Robust drum programming (kicks, claps, snares, high hats, layered percussions), repetitive analog basslines, side-chain compression on drum loops - Melodic Tech House: incorporating melodic elements, ambient sounds, pads to create immersive sonic landscapes - Atmospheric elements: vinyl noise, down lifters, reverse vocals, vocal drones for depth - Memorable vocals enhanced with reverb and delay for texture and atmosphere - Synth fills and melodies contribute to overall musicality - Toolroom's style: combining "heavy, darker, hypnotic grooves of Techno with the slower swing and funk of House Music" - Genre blending: blurring lines between house and techno, melodic techno vibes, fusion of organic and electronic sounds - Progressive house resurging, blending with Afro and progressive techno elements - Tempo range: 120-130 BPM—shift towards groove-oriented, slower tempos with subtle swing over aggressive beats - Minimal and tech house steadily increasing in popularity, suggesting move towards more restrained club sounds What this means for producers: Toolroom wants well-produced, club-ready tracks with strong groove and individual character. Clean arrangements, strong moments, and personality matter more than over-production. Toolroom Amsterdam 2025 is the blueprint. Study the tracklist, analyze the production choices, understand why these tracks made the cut. Follow the creator of this show, General Moses, on Instagram: @GeneralMoses9
