I kind of like the way the crackles sound at low volume but they are way

to upfront in the raw version which does destroy the sound a lot. I have

heard the crackles used to quite good effect over the past year or so

from some of the touring EU based DJ's. They tend to be playing a more

minimal/tech/house sound too.

That's part of my dilemma too. If I completely bypass the high and

middle what do I replace it with?
You make a good suggestion.

I know what you mean. I would call that vocal house. To me Tech House is

a more edgy sound that verges on experimental/minimal and industrial.

The crossover is such that you can often hear a Tech House set progress

through to a minimal electro sound Maybe I consider this track to be

somewhere in the middle ground where it might be possible to transition

from a pure house sound to a minimal sound using a section of this track

to join the set together. To my ear it has a four on the floor beat

which is pure house.
Cheers.
