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.
