Unearthing its Roots

House is probably one of the genres of Electronic Dance Music that has numerous sub-genres under its wing. DJ's, armed with their creative thirst to create music to express their individuality, come up with different types of music that eventually becomes a sub-genres of House. A mix of this and that and a refreshing new sound is created. This is how Electro House was created. House music was first noticed around the 1980s, the same time when break dancing music emerged. It was regarded as a fusion genre because of the crossovers of different musical styles and sounds. Electro House is greatly influenced by the Electroclash movement sometime in the 2000s, which is a fusion of Electronic Dance Music and New Wave. The 80s influence this sub-genre has is evident with its thick bass line sounds, but unlike most House sub-genres, Electro House has a fun and funky element in it. This trait is what makes this type of music a huge favorite among young dance floor addicts. Although the term "electro" comes with a slight ambiguity because it is used on mostly anything that makes use of electronic sounds, once you hear Electro House being played, nothing else matters but you and the dance floor.

Elements of Electro House

Electro House music is almost similar to the b-boy sound and features "breaks" or "drops" which are gateways to showcase break dancing moves. It still possesses the traditional elements of old school electro, but musical artists produced more creative interpretations by adding funky bass lines, electronic beeps and blips, and less vocal visibility. Usually, tracks of Electro House is 120 to 130 bpm and each track may last around 5 to 6 minutes. Electro House is usually typified by its low-fi vocals or even the lack of lyrics in a track. If lyrics are present, it is usually downplayed to a level where it sounds more like a part of the different musical elements, rather than the main focus. This type of music is an infectious dance floor potion that is quite similar to trance and techno except for its fat pumping bass which gives the music its funky feel.
