electro house (also known as electronic house and dirty house) is a subgenre of house music that rose to become one of the foremost genres of electronic dance music in 2004-6. stylistically, it takes the 4/4 beats and moderate tempo of ‘normal’ house and adds harmonically rich -n-logue b-sslines, abrasive high-pitched leads and the occasional old-school piano or string riff. there is much cross-pollination with minimal techno.
roots of electro-house
the most obvious precursor to the modern electro-house scene is the electroclash movement of the early 2000s. hotly hyped, it was largely a re-run of the cl-ssic early 80s synth pop sound, but deliberately made cruder and more raw-sounding than even the primitive records on which it was based. it gathered popularity princ-p-lly with fashionistas in europe and north america, and without any real creative potential burned out quickly, since being generally considered a failure. however, the sound – as well as some of the artists and labels, notably crosstown rebels and city rockers – have made a better fist of things by switching to electrohouse. some artists – for instance, felix da housecat – -ssociated with the movement had a noticeably housier sound even at the time and have since come to be seen as highly influential.
