Top 5 DJ Kings of Tech House Music
EDM has this incredible and elusive way of transcending its sound from one genre to the next, never having a real culprit, but more of a moment in time or overnight accident. Tech House pioneers date as far back as early '90s with Terry Francis, Stacey Pullen, Derrick Carter, Doc Martin, then introducing the next generations like Peace Division, Halo & Hipp-e, Joeski & Onionz & Bushwaka.
Fast-forward to 2013 and tech house couldn't be anymore popular than it is today. If playing over 18 hours straight to a packed Space Miami - as tech house king Loco Dice did last month - isn't proof enough, then I don't know what is.
Hail to the King's of tech house, may they're reign live on. Meet them now. →
