Episode Synopsis "Timecheck 001: West Coast Sunrise (2000-2003)"

Welcome to Timecheck ⏰, a mix series which will dive into old, sometimes overlooked music scenes. First up is everybody's favourite genre, Tech House from the early 2000's. But this is not just any Tech, these trax infused House, with hypnotic tribal drums, groovy disco basses, dark, atmospheric sound effects and haunting vocals. The jams could go on forever, creating the perfect vibe for the afterhours, when the first sunrays hit the dance floor. Originates from the US from legends like Halo Varga, Hipp-E, Onionz and DJ Jes, then it quickly spread around the world like a wildfire. While it didn't last long, and it got a bad reputation, mainly because the trax were quite simple, and very repetitive, (and yes I meme a lot with tech house🤷‍♂️) I think playing these joints at the right time, can really pull the crowd into another dimension. I recorded this mix last year, and it features some absolute classics like Halo Varga's Future, and a few hidden gems from my personal vinyl collection. I hope, when we can all dance safely again, I can play on or two of these jams so we can all experience the West Coast Sunrise movement. 🌄 Ps.: Feel free to ask for track ids in the comments. 🧡
