future house
what it is
Future house is a development of deep house music that became popular in the mid-2010s. The genre is characterized by its use of metallic-sounding drops (mostly influenced by the plucky sound of old-school garage house), frequency-modulated basslines, while borrowing a rawer, dirtier sound from electro house and keeping a tempo around 120-130 BPM, making it more energetic compared to contemporary deep house and tropical house. The genre was started by Tchami to describe the tracks he was uploading on SoundCloud in 2013.
