Electro house is a hard form of house music.[1] Electro house is characterized by a prominent bassline and/or kick drum and a tempo between 125 and 135 beats per minute.[2][3] Its origins were influenced by electro,[4] electroclash,[5] pop,[6] synthpop,[5][7] and tech house.[5][6][7] The term has been used to describe the music of many DJ Mag Top 100 DJs, including Avicii,[8] David Guetta,[9] Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike,[10] Hardwell,[11] Skrillex,[12][13] Steve Aoki,[14] and Tiësto.[15]

Electro-house is typified by its heavy bass.[3] This is often in the form of buzzing basslines[3] created with sawtooth waves and distortion.[16] It is also often in the form of large bass drum sounds[3] in a four-to-the-floor pattern,[16] usually at a tempo around 130 beats per minute.[2] Electro house sometimes resembles tech house,[4] but it can contain melodic elements[2] and electro-influenced samples and synths.[4]

History

The genre has been described as a fusion genre of house and electro,[17] either in its original form or as fused with synthpop and techno in its late-1990s revival, electroclash.[5] It has also been seen as a term created from using "electro" as an adjective (meaning "futuristic" or "hard") for "house".[1]

Benny Benassi - "Satisfaction" (2002)

Early songs that have been labelled retroactively as electro-house include "Dark Invader" by Arrivers in 1996 and "Raw S*it" by Basement Jaxx in 1997.[18] Mr. Oizo's 1999 hit "Flat Beat" has also been considered an early example of the genre.[19]

Benny Benassi, with his track "Satisfaction" released in 2002, is seen as the forerunner of electro-house who brought it to the mainstream.[5][6] By the mid 2000s, electro-house saw an increase in popularity.[2][20] In November 2006, electro-house tracks "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit" by Fedde Le Grand and "Yeah Yeah" by Bodyrox and Luciana held the number one and number two spots, respectively, in the UK Top 40 singles charts.[21] Since then, electro-house producers such as Feed Me, Knife Party, The M Machine, Porter Robinson, Skrillex,[13] and Yasutaka Nakata[22] have emerged.

Subgenres

Big room

In the early 2010s, a type of electro-house known as "big room" began to develop, particularly gaining popularity through electronic dance music-oriented events and festivals such as Tomorrowland. Big room songs resemble Dutch house, often incorporating drops, minimalist percussion, regular beats, sub-bass layered kicks, simple melodies, and synth-driven breakdowns.[23][24] The layout of a big room track is very similar to the layout of a typical electro-house song. Big room is thought of as a subgenre of electro-house.

Big room has become controversial in the EDM scene, being criticized by some producers for becoming a stereotypical "EDM" sound lacking originality and creativity, and that the whole genre sounds homogenous. Mixmag described big room tracks as consisting of "titanic breakdowns and spotless, monotone production aesthetics (read: lowest common denominator 'beats')." In a Reddit AMA, Wolfgang Gartner described big room as a "joke", and considered it, along with conglomerates such as SFX Entertainment, the oversaturation of events in North America, and "major label A&R’s shoving digestible cheap dance music down teenager’s throats [sic]" as the biggest problems affecting the EDM industry. Notable producers such as Axwell and Steve Angello of now-defunct Swedish House Mafia (who had been credited with their influence to progressive house) have emphasized the need for more creative and experimental EDM tracks overall.[24][25]

In mid-2013, Swedish duo Daleri posted a mix on SoundCloud entitled "Epic mashleg", consisting purely of drops from 15 "big room" songs on Beatport's charts at the time (including artists such as Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Hardwell, and W&W) played in succession. The intent of the mashup was to serve as a commentary on the "big room" movement and the lack of differentiation between tracks; member Eric Kvarnström commented that "the scary thing is that there are new tracks like this every day. Every day, new tracks, all the same. It just keeps coming all the time." The duo defended their use of big room characteristics in their own music (particularly their releases on the Armada Music imprint Trice, which primarily releases big room tracks), by emphasizing their complextro influences.[23] In the midst of a feud between Deadmau5 and Afrojack over social media regarding originality in dance music culminating with Afrojack creating a style parody of Deadmau5's music entitled "something_", Deadmau5 posted a song on SoundCloud, "DROP DA BOMB", satirizing the style of "commercial" house music and big room.[26][27]

Complextro

Complextro is typified by glitchy, intricate basslines and textures created by sharply cutting between instruments in quick succession.[28][29] The term, a portmanteau of the words "complex" and "electro",[28][29][30] was coined by Porter Robinson to describe the sound of the music he was making in 2010.[30][31] He has cited video game sounds, or chiptunes, as an influence on his style of music along with 1980s analog synth music.[32] Other producers of the genre include Kill The Noise, Knife Party, Lazy Rich,[33] The M Machine, Madeon, Savant, Skrillex,[28] Wolfgang Gartner, and Zedd.

Dutch house

Dutch house, sometimes referred to as 'Dirty Dutch', is a style of electro-house that originated in the Netherlands and found prominence by 2009,[34][dead link] mainly pioneered by Vato Gonzalez and DJ Chuckie. It is primarily defined by complex rhythms made from Latin-influenced drum kits, a lower emphasis on basslines, and squeaky, high-pitched lead synths. Influences on the subgenre include Detroit techno, hip hop and other urban styles of music.[35][dead link] Related artists include Afrojack, Chuckie, Martin Garrix, Fedde Le Grand, R3hab, Sidney Samson, Switch, Hardwell, W&W, and Blasterjaxx.

Fidget house

Fidget house, or fidget, is "defined by snatched vocal snippets, pitch-bent dirty basslines and rave-style synth stabs over glitchy 4/4 beats."[36] It contains influences from Chicago house, Baltimore club, Kuduro, bassline, bouncy techno, rave, dubstep, hip hop and world music.[36] Purveyors of the genre include The Bloody Beetroots, Crookers, Danger, Hervé, Sinden, and Switch. The term fidget house was coined by DJs/producers Jesse Rose and Switch, "as a joke, which has now gone a little too far."[36][37]

Moombahton

Main article: Moombahton

Moombahton is a mixture of Dutch house and reggaeton.[38] Its identifying characteristics include "a thick, spread-out bass line; some dramatic builds; and a two-step pulse, with quick drum fills",[39] but it has "no real rules beyond working within a 108 bpm range."[40] A portmanteau of "moombah" and "reggaeton", moombahton was created by DJ Dave Nada when he slowed down the tempo of the Afrojack remix of the Silvio Ecomo & Chuckie song "Moombah" to please party-goers with tastes in reggaeton.[39] Other producers of the genre include Dillon Francis, Diplo, and Munchi.[40]

Moombahcore is a style of moombahton with elements of breakcore, dubstep, gabber, and techstep.[41][42] Characteristics of the genre include chopped vocals, dubstep-influenced bass sounds, and extensive build-ups.[42] Artists who have produced moombahcore include Delta Heavy, Dillon Francis, Feed Me, Knife Party, and Noisia.
