Marek Hemmann + Oliver Koletzki (Gotta Love the Tech House!)

I'm not the biggest genre elitist, nor am I OCD about classification, but I'm usually not the biggest fan of Tech House. It's like minimal, but it doesn't get deep. It's like Techno, but it doesn't move. That said, it's hard for me to find myself listening to an entire Tech House track.
However, I've just discovered Marek Hemman's album "In Between" and now I'm hooked (with everything that I've felt was missing from the genre and more)!
Here are some of my favorites from the album:

New Gui Boratto Track + More Music!

Gui Boratto's "Azzurra (It's Not The Same Version)" is quite possibly one of his best tracks. The original was good, but it was just a little too dry for me. The added vocals in the new version really do an awesome job at completing the song and giving it a much fuller and emotional sound.
Also check out "Telecaster" on the same release.

[TECHNO/MINIMAL]
These first four tracks on this list are DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

Have you heard Magda's "Fabric 49" mix? You better have. Anyways, here's some of the top original songs off of the album:
