From Wikipedia

Tech house is a house music subgenre that prominently incorporates stylistic features from techno. The term tech house developed as a shorthand record store name for a category of electronic dance music that combined musical aspects of techno, such as "rugged basslines" and "steely beats", with the harmonies and grooves of progressive house. Tech house originally featured the clean and minimal production style associated with techno from Detroit and the UK.
