Welcome to Electro house

electro house is a fusion genre of several electronic dance music subgenres that came into prominence in the 2000 decade. Stylistically, it combines the minimal-processed four to the floor beats commonly found in house music with harmonically rich analogue or digital basslines derived from electrotech, abrasive high-pitched leads commonly found in progressive psytrance. The tempo is predominant of house music, meaning that it usually ranges from 125 to 140 BPM, while the song structure pertains to trance-like progression.

• The premises of electro house are thought to have originated from the fusion of tech house and electroclash in the early 2000s. By 2001-02, a subgenre of tech known as electrotech started gaining popularity in Europe (Germany, France, Belgium and Austria), while some Detroit techno and UK DJs were experimenting with lead distortion derived from Israeli psytrance. In late 2005, Matt Schwartz (also known as "The Drill") was the first producer to harmonically integrate such sound into eletrotech structure. The result was complete separation from progressive which defined new ground for house music.

• Electro house is often shortened to "electro" in informal speak, however, this use is contentious as it may allude to the original electro music (see above). Producers tended to replace "c" in the word with a "k", only to create even more confusion, and the general word "house" has since been given preference.
