November’s tech house chart is a lively one, with plenty of chunky basslines, cheeky vocals and records that don’t take themselves too seriously. Familiar faces including Bontan, Lorenzo De Blanck and Piero Pirupa are joined by a healthy crop of newer names, while Bushbaby brings a welcome dose of UK bass flavour to proceedings. From stripped-back rollers to rowdier, hip-hop-influenced cuts, there’s plenty here to get stuck into.
These are the 15 Best Tech House Tracks of October 2026
FIRZA – Move
FIRZA lands on NUSONIDO with ‘Move’, the lead track from a two-track release that also features ‘Pleasures’. It’s another addition to the label’s increasingly busy catalogue of contemporary house music, with FIRZA operating in the space between house and tech house. The extended version runs to nearly six minutes, making it a natural fit for DJs looking beyond shorter, streaming-oriented arrangements. A release worth checking for those following the newer names and imprints working across the genre.
Lorenzo De Blanck – Musik
Italian producer Lorenzo De Blanck returns to Sound D’Elite with ‘Musik’, a stripped-back, rolling tech house cut that has already attracted support from Marco Carola and Ilario Alicante. There’s a patient quality to the arrangement, with the track steadily increasing the tension through its tightly controlled rhythms and gradual development. De Blanck has spent years refining this particular sound, with previous releases on Hot Creations, Saved and Moon Harbour, and ‘Musik’ reflects that experience. Functional, understated and particularly well suited to the more minimal end of contemporary tech house.
Mendo, Angel Heredia – Bingo
Swiss house veteran Mendo teams up with Spanish producer Angel Heredia for ‘Bingo’, a chunky, percussion-led tech house cut on KoBBoK. There’s a tribal flavour to the production, with the pair favouring a raw, driving sound that fits neatly into the label’s catalogue. Both have plenty of experience making this kind of music, and the collaboration feels like a natural fit.
Jennifer Lee – I Got It
Jennifer Lee is back on Madrid’s Huambo Records with ‘I Got It’, continuing her run of releases on the label she helps manage. Lee has been a consistent presence in Spain’s tech house scene, and her productions have also appeared on Strictly Records and High Pressure Music. With ‘I Got It’, she adds another club-focused release to her growing catalogue, alongside the accompanying ‘Bigga Than Them’.
Piero Pirupa, Thomas Newson, Deetranada – Throw It Up
This one’s got some serious attitude. Piero Pirupa and Thomas Newson bring the production, but it’s Baltimore rapper Deetranada who steals the show, firing off bars over a suitably filthy bassline. There’s a touch of old-school hip-house in the mix, and the whole thing has the sort of unruly energy that makes a welcome change from overly polished tech house. Toolroom has a proper party record on its hands here.
Esther Bronchal – Kid Rollin’
Esther Bronchal has been making herself known in Spanish tech house circles, and ‘Kid Rollin’’ is her latest outing on COPPADOS. She’s part of a generation of producers keeping the genre’s more underground traditions alive, and it’s good to see her getting some attention. There’s no shortage of tech house coming out of Spain right now, but Bronchal is a name I’d be keeping on the shortlist.
Sapian – Takes Me
Sapian is having a bit of a moment. With releases on Moan and Prophecy, plus a remix for CamelPhat and Josh Gigante, he’s been popping up in some interesting places lately. ‘Takes Me’ lands on Disorder, adding another solid release to what’s becoming a pretty enviable run. Definitely someone who’s making the right noises in tech house circles, and whose next move will be worth watching.
jairo delli – Ritmo
You can generally rely on jairo delli to deliver the goods, and ‘Ritmo’ is another reminder of why he’s such a popular name among underground tech house DJs. The Spanish producer has always had a knack for rhythm-heavy, no-nonsense club music, and his minimal house roots give his productions a welcome bit of character. No unnecessary theatrics, just the sort of stuff he’s built his reputation on.
Jay de Lys – In Europe
Jay de Lys has been on a roll lately, and ‘In Europe’ keeps the Argentinian producer’s winning streak going. He’s become one of the more dependable names in tech house, with a knack for making records that hit hard without losing their personality. There’s a reason his music keeps finding its way into so many DJ sets, and this latest outing should have little trouble joining them.
Bontan – Talking Slow
Bontan’s back on Hot Creations, and that’s always a welcome development. ‘Talking Slow’ is a slick, vocal-led affair, with crisp percussion, a beautifully restrained bassline and just enough going on to keep things interesting. Jamie Jones has apparently been hammering it all summer, and you can understand the appeal. There’s a lovely looseness to the production, with the vocal doing much of the heavy lifting. Another reminder that Bontan doesn’t need to throw everything at a record to make it work.
HILLS (US) – Check It Out
HILLS is having quite the year. Having already landed releases on Experts Only and IN / ROTATION, the American producer now makes his way to Patrick Topping’s Trick with ‘Check It Out’. He’s clearly got a taste for the bigger, more rambunctious end of house music, and Trick feels like a natural destination. With collaborations alongside Layton Giordani and Majestic also under his belt, there’s plenty happening in the HILLS camp right now.
Bushbaby – Keep Me Hype
Bushbaby has been having a lot of fun blurring the lines between UK garage, bassline and tech house, and ‘Keep Me Hype’ is another reason to pay attention. He’s previously talked about wanting to combine the melodic side of Chris Stussy’s sound with the darker, wobblier basslines of speed garage, which is a pretty appealing proposition. His latest on Isekai Records continues a productive run that’s also included collaborations with Riordan and Danny P.
Facu Baez – 3000 BASS
Argentina’s seemingly endless supply of tech house talent continues with Facu Baez, whose ‘3000 BASS’ lands on the legendary Nervous Records. It’s quite a label to have behind you, especially when you’re still building your name internationally. Nervous has been putting out house music for more than three decades, and it’s encouraging to see the imprint continuing to give newer producers a platform.
ATLAC – Little Closer
Not a bad few weeks for ATLAC. Fresh from collaborating with Cloonee and reggaeton heavyweight Yandel on ‘Movimiento’, he’s back with ‘Little Closer’ on Sound D’Elite. That’s quite a combination of names and labels to have on your CV, and it’s clear his profile is heading in the right direction. The new release comes backed with ‘Vibrate’, giving us another chance to hear what the producer can do away from the big-name collaborations.
Rae Sada – MAKE IT HOT!
Rae Sada makes her DFTD debut with ‘MAKE IT HOT!’, and the title certainly suggests she isn’t planning on being subtle. The New York producer has been making the transition from behind-the-scenes industry work to releasing her own music, and she’s already shared bills with Disclosure, Dusky and Elderbrook. There’s a pleasingly old-school house flavour to this one, with nostalgic vocal hooks and rolling rhythms giving it plenty of charm. A fun addition to the DFTD catalogue.
