As I have no idea of this genre could somebody (patrick eg, as you keep adding sets like this) explain me what exactly makes this witch house? From hearing a bit of the mix and skipping through the rest I'd label this sth like Industrial/Dark Ambient/IDM, so what makes this witch house?
Btw: I liked it, as I like the genres I would describe it with
Not sure if you mean this set specifically or in general, but maybe the description on wikipedia could help
Witch house (also known as drag or haunted house) is an occult-themed dark electronic music genre and visual aesthetic that emerged in the early 2010s. The music is heavily influenced by chopped and screwed hip-hop soundscapes, industrial and noise experimentation, and features use of synthesizers, drum machines, obscure samples, droning repetition and heavily altered, ethereal, indiscernible vocals.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_house_(music_genre)

Thanks a lot. That description sounds quite much like a mix of dark ambient/industrial and IDM imo. I just dont get what the term "house" is referring to, because thats the last influence I'd hear here
The name is a little stange indeed, maybe 'goth trap' would be better 
Of course, the "Witch House" genre have nothing to do from near or from far with the House Music that everyone know.
The all first musical band who have started to create this style of music is Salem (http://s4lem.com) so maybe that they have attributed the "Witch House" term to describe their own style of music (or from their fans who have attributed this name to describe the musical style of Salem).
Salem is the reference for all artists and fans from the Witch House scene.
