Artists Electro house

The Electro house genre is a subgenre of house that emerged in the early 2000s, at the crossroads of house, electro, and certain influences from techno and commercial dance. It stands out for a more aggressive, more edgy and more hard-hitting sound than traditional house, with powerful bass, saturated synths, pronounced electronic riffs, and an energy designed for clubs as well as major festivals.

Electro house developed in the wake of electroclash and the French touch, while gradually moving closer to the EDM scene throughout the 2010s. This style therefore maintains close ties with Progressive House, Big Room, Complextro, and certain forms of dance pop, with which it shares a taste for effective productions, massive drops, and structures tailored for immediate impact.

Popularized by artists such as David Guetta, Deadmau5, Benny Benassi, Swedish House Mafia, Afrojack, Hardwell, or Skrillex on certain tracks, Electro house strongly shaped the 2000s and 2010s. Even today, it remains one of the most iconic styles of festive and explosive electronic music.
