Genre - Electronic House

Electro house is a subgenre of house music that rose to become one of the most prominent genres of electronic dance music today. Electro house, sometimes resembling tech house, typically retains elements of house music and can incorporate electro-influenced synths and samples. It often has a bass sound created from saw waves with compression and distortion. Electro house can be split into many other sub-genres including: Complextro, Dutch house and Fidget house. 

The exact origins of the electro house are uncertain the genre has sometimes been seen as a fusion genre of electro and house which both have a long history in their genre. French house, by artists such as Justice and especially Daft Punk, has also been considered a strong influence. Mr. Oizo's 1999 hit "Flat Beat" has also been considered an early example of the genre, along with "Satisfaction" in 2002 by Benny Benassi, who is seen as a forerunner of the genre who brought it to the mainstream. Popular record labels include: Armada music, Tiger records and Ministry of sound.

House music itself was generally dance-based music characterized by repetitive 4/4 beats and rhythms centered around drum machines, off-beat hi-hat cymbals and synthesized basslines. While house displayed several characteristics similar to disco music, it was more electronic and minimalistic. Electronic music is music that employs electronic musical instruments and electronic music technology in its production. In general a distinction can be made between sound produced using electromechanical means and that produced using electronic technology.
