There’s something special happening in tech house right now. The genre keeps finding ways to stay raw and club-focused while still hitting that hypnotic, late-night zone that makes people stay on the floor longer than they planned. Odd Mob just added another solid entry to that conversation with “Take You There.”
Released under Insomniac Records, the track comes from Odd Mob’s collaborative HYPERBEAM project with OMNOM. It’s a dark, driving tech house cut built around gritty basslines, punchy drums, low-end pulses, and a looping vocal hook that digs in and doesn’t let go. The production feels textured and relentless without overcomplicating things. Old-school house energy sits underneath the modern tech house framework, giving it that sweaty, functional quality that works both in a packed club and on a festival stage.
Odd Mob is the project of Brisbane-based Harry Hope. What started as a two-piece with Robbie Jacobs has continued as Hope’s solo outlet, and the reputation has only grown. The early breakthrough with “Is It A Banger” put them on the map, and tracks like “Into You ft. Starley” dominated the ARIA Club Chart for weeks. From there the catalogue expanded in every direction—remixes for A-Trak, Motez, Starley, and even Lorde, free downloads like “Origin,” the club-focused “Diffusion” EP, and originals that pulled in hip-hop, future bass, and brighter pop vocals without ever losing the dancefloor focus.
That range is part of what makes Odd Mob stand out. One minute you’re getting a dark, fist-pumping bass track like “Gassed Up,” the next you’re hearing something that became a triple j favourite. The ability to move between those worlds while still delivering club tools has earned support from names like Annie Mac, Oliver Heldens, Danny Howard, Don Diablo, Tommy Trash, and Disclosure, plus slots at major Australian festivals including Beyond The Valley, Groovin The Moo, Future Music Festival, and Stereosonic.
“Take You There” fits cleanly into the current tech house wave while still carrying the Odd Mob stamp. The track doesn’t chase trends so much as lean into what the project has always done well—strong low-end, clear structure, and an atmosphere that feels built for the later hours. Insomniac Records has been a natural home for this kind of music, and the HYPERBEAM collab continues that relationship with another focused club weapon.
Tech house has been having a strong moment for a while now, with producers and DJs leaning into darker, more hypnotic sounds that still move bodies. Tracks like this keep the conversation interesting because they prioritise feel over flash. You can hear the care in the arrangement and the way the elements lock together. It’s the kind of record that DJs will reach for when they need something that builds pressure without needing a massive drop to make its point.
