tech house

I got a tip from Ben Tremblay on Twitter that I thought was worth sharing:

“Now and again I feel like my ears are plugged. I go to NoahPred.com to re-calibrate. ”

I checked the site out and it’s got a motherload of free music.

Noah Pred is a DJ devoted to “the authentic and soulful strains of techno in all its permutations.”

Since his first records came out in the late nineties, his productions have appeared on charts from Carl Cox, Cari Lekebusch and Laurent Garnier.  Pred recently relocated to Toronto, where he’s accepted a DJ residency with the Fukhouse crew and he runs two record labels from his studio headquarters – Thoughtless Music and Sentient Sound.  

Here’s an example of Pred’s work, an electro/tech house set, called Moog:
