‘Play Mode’ by Nanna Osé [Tech House /Minimal House]

Nanna Osé’s track “Play Mode” is a spot-on release in the Tech House/Minimal House style. The rhythmic drive is immediately apparent. Next comes the emphasis on percussion. The tempo falls within the standard 130 BPM range, making it easy to mix. Additionally, the kick is dry and tight—it doesn’t get muddled. The bassline is short and repetitive. At the same time, it drives the track forward without overloading the low end.

‘Only We Know’ by Cees (feat. solaene) [Melodic House & Techno]

‘Stop Go’ by Statik Lee [Bass House/ Tech House]

Energy in simplicity. That’s exactly how you could describe Statik Lee’s new track, “Stop Go.” On the one hand, there’s a clear lean toward a bass-oriented sound: a tight low end and a springy kick. It’s designed to get the crowd moving, not to show off. On the other hand, the structure leans more toward a tech house approach. Minimal layering. Crisp pauses. Masterful use of space. It’s precisely this that allows the track to breathe. And, importantly, it never loses its intensity.

‘This Song’ by SYREETA [Tech House/Minimal]

Contemporary tech house suffers from overproduction. Too many ideas. Too much noise. However, SYREETA understands what really matters: it’s not about the number of ideas, but how they’re executed. Her new single, “This Song,” is a textbook example of how one high-quality idea works more effectively than ten chaotic ones.

‘We envy Birds’ by Tho7 [Minimal House]

The Minimal Effort label continues to set the standard for intelligent dance music. Tho7’s release, titled We Envy Birds, is not just a track, but rather a sonic hypothesis. Minimalism brooks no fuss: pure house, pieced together from street noises, field recordings, and snippets of dialogue, forms the foundation of the sound. This is the very subgenre that, back in the 2000s, weaned the dance floor off excessive drama and demonstrated that depth can be achieved through simplicity.

Tho7 mimics the flight of “We Envy Birds.” Conceptual minimal for deep slots
