The problem lies in the fact that most of the modern house that's being made (that isn't boring generic poo poo released on Defected) is coming from either the UK scene, with heavy influence from the bass movement there, or from Berlin, most of which is the deep variety.

Pretty much everything else that is being made is falling into the same formulaic trap that has led trance and techno into holes that they are finding it difficult to escape from.

This is why I don't see a point trying to singularly define 'sounds' or 'genres' in this increasingly diverse music scene. All it does it shoebox those genres and further contribute to pretentious idiots saying 'THAT isn't techno, only THIS is techno'.

You can however look at the history of where these sounds developed, what influences and other genres they merged / split into and where they look to be going in the future.

The guys in the UK Bass thread have done a reasonably good job at this (though still not perfect).

For a good example of what I'm talking about, where do you put music released on Hot Creations, Crosstown Rebels or dirtybird?

All of these labels have historically released music under House, Deep House and Tech House respectively, however I wouldn't label anything that comes out of any of these labels today as any of those three things alone.

Things like D&B are fairly straight-cut, because it has a tempo and rhythm style that is definitively different from any other genre. Genres that all hover around the 120BPM mark are much harder, as you can no longer look to tempo as a defining part of the genre. The same thing has happened recently regarding the rhythm style (historically breakbeat vs 4/4) as garage and UK Bass have begun crossing back over into their roots with house. So if you can't look at rhythm or tempo as distinctive for certain genres, then what do you look for? The 'Feel' of a track?

Once you reach looking at the 'feel' of a track as an indicator of what 'genre' it lies within, you lose all objectivity (as tempo and rhythm were). All you are left with are a persons perceptions as to what defines a genre.

Perhaps the best way forward (if one must do it) would be to just select quintessential tracks that are wholly representative of a single genre, and no others. For instance, as an example of house something like this would fit pretty well:

I toured this guy last year in Brisbane, awesome producer, solid DJ and generally cool dude to boot.

More than anything I think he shines in the studio though, his productions are tight.

Haha that's great, I hadn't noticed that as I've only been listening to the Soundcloud version.

She was fantastic in Sydney last week!

Seconded, she played a great set at our party in Brisbane on Sunday night.

I really like that Subb-an tune, but when is someone going to make a proper House / Deep House thread for that sort of music? And turn the current House thread into an "EDM" thread?

It's hard. Not sure if there is enough support to warrant separate threads for:

Deephouse / House
Techno
EDM
Nu-disco

That and we already have the UK Bass thread, which the first track I posted could definitely be shoe-horned into.

Here is an inquisitive paragraph if anyone feels like giving me their 2 cents.

I'm kind of a scrub who doesn't get to go to see as many (good) Djs out as I'd like. Do a lot of them mix Tech and Deep house tracks? How much blurring is there between genres? feel free to chime in with your own personal favorite DJ of the moment's habits, I'm very interested. Also how often do they incorporate their own songs into their mixes, and if they do, how much is too much/expected?

Some DJs mix between genres and play a diverse range of music, so have a really niche sound and tend to stay close to it. It really depends on the DJ. As far as playing your own productions, again this is something that is mixed. Some play a whole set of it, some won't play a single track. It really depends on the DJ, there are no rights or wrongs.
