Nearly a decade ago, tech house emerged to fill an important evolutionary niche in dance music. By straddling the middle ground between the cheesy excesses of progressive house and the somnambulant tendencies of deep house, the new sound quickly became the dominant movement in the scene. Minimal but driving, with clean production and intricate, funky percussion, the groove-oriented tech was a breath of fresh air and offered the perfect late-night vibe to get down to. Labels such as Poker Flat, Ovum and Eukatech drove the sound that Denver adopted as its own. For those of us who miss those halcyon days, Knockin’ is here to take us back for a night. Promoter Denver House Authority is promising a truly old-school experience — namely, two turntables, one mixer and a stack of vinyl records, just like back in the day. And the DHA is bringing Little Mike, a ubiquitous fixture of the local tech-house movement, back to town for the event. Get in the way-back dance-music machine by e-mailing house@denverhouseauthority.com to RSVP and get directions.
