this link said nothing about providing 'tech house' see title for 'electronic dance house' which would show your distaste for music 'popular' enough to be used in a large dance/rave setting

I'm sorry, I don't follow your rambling sentence. My 'tech house' comment was purely an example of alternative genres which are not covered by this site.

The web and media is full of the kind of garbage streamed on this site. There's a real gap in the market in my opinion to nail the underground electronic music scene. Everything from leftfield electronica to techno.

Over the past 7 years or so I've seen the underground house and techno scene in London become so unbelievably huge. Which has just meant that opportunists jump in and create generic and bland versions of the music that I love.

Over the past 3-5 years its gone completely mainstream and the kind of garbage you hear in the charts is the same as from the OP. So it's not presenting me (personally) with anything.

I'm personally interested in a way to promote the better underground artists out there without having to hand pick each.

I don't have a solution for this unfortunately. I was hoping that the OP link would have been it. This is why I was disappointed. Because there are still lots of incredibly talented producers out there being totally buried by the torrent of sh*t that you hear these days purporting to be "house music" or "tech house" or "dubstep".
