Glitchy, Switchy, bump, Bassline groovy.few words decribing Fidget House a choppy, deeply funky brand of tech-house that Switch (aka Solid Groove) and Jesse Rose have been playing over the last few years. Love sinden and herve (count of monte crystal who play groove-based music that is full of little vocal snippets, quirky melodies and bizarre little samples which have been carefully arranged to create an irresistibly funky rhythm. It’s basically tech-house with a spangled twist. Often promoted by Annie Mac on her Mash Up Show On friday. Its Sherweet. But also does yur head if yu dont understand it.

It’s funny, I’ve been a fan of this genre of house/breaks (that i didn’t know was an actual genre) since DJ Touche’s “House Party Dynamite” mixmag CD came out in 2006.
Yet it was only a week ago I found out it actually has a NAME! Awesome!
Thanks for the links!
