NasserAlazzawi Deep house is pretty close, but that’s why i say the debate is pointless. There’s too much crossover in a lot of records and places like beatport have bastardized “classic” genres so badly, that none of it makes sense anymore.
Most of what I make is inarguably dub techno. But I would be hard pressed to figure out what is techno about a 108 bpm record that’s mixed with a low passed kick, few drums, and the chords set forward. Basic Channel was techno, Maurizio probably, but Fluxion or Rhythm & Sound?
