It is "Terry's Cafe" and I've been groovin' to it all week long.  Sounds great
in the Pimpmobile with a 10" Bazooka tube in the trunk, I'll tell you  :-P

Unfortunately I haven't heard "Chocolate Chords" so I can't compare the two.

My homey Andy Thomas (Ambient list listmeister) says "Too much Tech, not
enough House" but I hear plenty of "House" (to my ears, anyway) in this mix.
Of things that can be nominally declared "House" this is probably my
favorite of the moment.

To me it's a textbook definition of "Tech-House", i.e. it's got House
underpinnings (sans Divas) but a lot of the sounds layered on top are
really interesting and "Techno-y".  Maybe not IDM but I really dig it.
I suspect you'd love it as well.
