September brought a healthy mix of familiar names, emerging producers and the occasional reminder that a good house record can have a surprisingly long shelf life. Mark Knight and James Hurr revisited DJ PP’s 2009 favourite ‘Miami Vice’, CAMELPHAT took a detour into ’90s-inspired territory, and Tiga’s increasingly entertaining run of releases continued with a new remix from Brunello.
Elsewhere, Kyle Watson linked up with Walker & Royce, Kitty Hall found fresh mileage in a Kelis and André 3000 classic, and Solid Grooves, Defected and Toolroom all made their presence felt. The more underground selections are just as worthy of attention, with releases from Carloh, RSquared, LOTTEN and SAGMO among this month’s picks.
These are the 15 Best Tech House Tracks of September 2026
Mark Knight, DJ PP, James Hurr – Miami Vice
It’s been 17 years since DJ PP first released ‘Miami Vice’, an underground house favourite that reached the upper reaches of Beatport’s charts and became a fixture of the 2010 Ibiza season. Mark Knight and James Hurr have now joined the Uruguayan producer for an official update on Toolroom, giving the original a contemporary overhaul without abandoning what made it work. There’s always a risk when revisiting a record with this much history, but having its creator involved certainly helps.
RSquared – Ooo La La
RSquared have been building a decent catalogue through their RWorks imprint, and September brought another addition in the shape of ‘Ooo La La’. Following their collaboration with Iglesias on ‘Let’s Freak’, the British duo return to a simple but effective formula: a chant-like vocal hook, a rolling, bouncy bassline and enough rhythmic energy to keep things moving. There’s something appealing about a tech house record that doesn’t try to be terribly clever. Sometimes a slightly ridiculous vocal is exactly what the occasion calls for.
CAMELPHAT – Landlords Nightmare
CAMELPHAT have covered quite a bit of musical ground since ‘Cola’, and ‘Landlords Nightmare’ finds the Liverpool duo exploring a more playful, old-school side of their sound. Released through Solomun’s Diynamic label, it draws on the scratch-heavy rhythms of early ’90s house alongside a euphoric piano riff, bringing a touch of rave nostalgia to proceedings. It’s a welcome reminder that CAMELPHAT are perfectly capable of making something a little less serious than the brooding melodic productions they’ve become associated with.
Kyle Watson, Walker & Royce – Losing Focus
Kyle Watson and Walker & Royce already have some history together, having previously collaborated on ‘Double Dutch’, so this follow-up feels like a fairly natural pairing. ‘Losing Focus’ appears on Watson’s Ask Me Tomorrow project, released through his No Context Records imprint. Both acts have built their reputations on house music with plenty of personality and a willingness to get a little weird, which makes them particularly well suited to one another
HARTY (UK) – There’s A Party Goin’ On
HARTY has been making a name for himself in the UK house scene, and ‘There’s A Party Goin’ On’ received a useful boost through the influential blanc channel, which premiered the track in September. It sits towards the deeper, more stripped-back end of contemporary tech house, a sound that has found a sizeable audience among DJs and listeners looking beyond the more obvious festival records. The title doesn’t leave much room for interpretation, although in fairness, house music has never required particularly complicated subject matter.
Carloh – Musica Infinita
Ecuadorian producer Carloh has been enjoying a productive year, with releases on Cecille and elrow Limited preceding his arrival on Solid Grooves. ‘Musica Infinita’ continues that run, placing him alongside a roster that has become particularly influential in shaping the contemporary underground tech house sound. Carloh’s background in South American house music gives him a slightly different perspective from many of his European contemporaries, and his growing international profile suggests that the self-styled ‘King of the Andes’ is doing something right.
Tiga – FRICTION (Brunello Remix)
Tiga remains one of electronic music’s more entertaining characters, and his recent output suggests there’s still plenty of life in his particular brand of eccentric club music. For this latest remix, Brunello gets his hands on ‘FRICTION’, taking it into the territory between tech house and indie dance. Released on Tiga’s Turbo Recordings, it joins a busy September for the Canadian producer, who also delivered remixes of ‘HOT WIFE’ and ‘IAMWHATIAM’. It’s good to see an artist with his history continuing to explore the stranger corners of dance music
Kitty Hall – Witty
Manchester’s Kitty Hall has had a busy 2026, making her debuts at XOYO and Hï Ibiza while releasing a steady stream of singles. ‘Witty’ might be her most immediately recognisable yet, thanks to a sample of Kelis and André 3000’s wonderfully odd 2003 single ‘Millionaire’. Hall places the vocal within an energetic house production with touches of acid, giving the original an entirely different setting. Sampling such a distinctive record is always a gamble, but at least she’s chosen something considerably more interesting than another recycled ’90s diva chorus.
IDEMI – The Mob
IDEMI’s ‘The Mob’ arrives as part of a two-track release alongside ‘Seamless’, issued through Disorder in early September. The producer has been steadily assembling a catalogue that includes ‘Everytime’, ‘Teach You Desire’ and ‘Like An Angel (Touch Me)’, and this latest outing keeps the emphasis on contemporary club music. There’s something refreshing about a release that presents two tracks together rather than stretching every production into a standalone promotional campaign. ‘The Mob’ is another name worth adding to the increasingly crowded list of emerging house producers.
SAGMO (US) – Funky Pills
‘Funky Pills’ marks SAGMO’s debut release on Maccabi House, the label associated with Adam Ten and Mita Gami and their increasingly influential take on leftfield club music. It’s a fitting home for a producer drawing inspiration from the intersection of house, indie dance and funkier electronic sounds. SAGMO even put together a Beatport chart to accompany the release, offering a useful window into the records informing the project.
Route 94 – 4Get The Girl (Samm Remix)
Route 94’s ‘4Get The Girl’ finally received an official release earlier this year, and Defected have been making the most of it with a series of remixes. Following a more muscular interpretation from Mellizos, Belgian producer Samm takes a subtler approach, giving the original’s soulful UK house character a deeper, more hypnotic treatment. It’s an interesting choice of remixer, particularly given Samm’s growing reputation for melodic, atmospheric house. The result offers an alternative to the more obvious peak-time reworks, proving that a good remix doesn’t necessarily need to be louder than the original.
LOTTEN – Ladies & Fellas
Brazilian producer LOTTEN returned to his solo project in 2025 after several years away, and he’s wasted little time making up for lost ground. September’s ‘Ladies & Fellas’ EP arrives on COPPADOS, pairing the title track with ‘Kind Of Girl’, a collaboration with vio., plus a remix from Tomas Bisquierra. Having previously released on Patrick Topping’s Trick-adjacent contemporaries’ labels such as Hellbent and Drop Low, LOTTEN is clearly finding his feet again. It’s encouraging to see Brazilian house producers continuing to establish themselves beyond the country’s already considerable domestic scene
Flex (UK) – She’s Dangerous
Flex has been putting together an interesting run of releases, moving between Trick, FUNKSHWAY, blanc and now THRIVE MUSIC with ‘She’s Dangerous’. His catalogue includes a collaboration with Ciara, a reworking of Nate Dogg’s ‘6 In The Morning’ and plenty of straight-ahead club material, which gives some indication of his range of influences. The new single continues his focus on tech house, although his wider output suggests an artist equally comfortable borrowing from hip-hop and UK bass music.
SEBS – Act Up
At just 21, Austin-based SEBS is already making considerable headway. His previous single ‘Work It’ reached number one on Beatport, while releases on Nervous and Insomniac have helped establish him beyond his home state. ‘Act Up’ arrives on Three Six Zero Recordings, with early support from SOSA and Solardo, and continues his run of high-energy club releases. It’s been a remarkably quick rise for the young producer, although the real test will be how he develops his sound once the initial momentum begins to settle.
Ferreck Dawn – Need
Ferreck Dawn has become one of Toolroom’s most dependable names, with a catalogue that moves comfortably between soulful house and tougher club productions. ‘Need’ marks another appearance on Mark Knight’s label, following July’s ‘Lost At The End’, and continues a productive period for the Dutch producer. There’s something reassuring about an artist who knows his way around a house record without feeling obliged to reinvent himself every six months. His longevity is particularly impressive in a genre where producers can go from seemingly everywhere to nowhere in the space of a festival season.
