Future house is ahouse music genre that emerged in the 2010s in theUnited Kingdom, described as a fusion ofdeep house,[4]UK garage[1][2] and incorporating other elements and techniques of otherEDM genres.[5] It is high in energy, generally consisting of big drops, 4/4 beats and is sonically bass heavy.
The term "future house" was coined by French DJTchami[6][7] and was first used to categorise his 2013 remix ofJanet Jackson's "Go Deep" on SoundCloud.[8] Tchami used the term without considering it a genre saying in a 2015 interview "Future house was meant to be 'any kind of house music that hasn't been invented yet,' so I never considered it as a genre. I guess people made it what it is because my music was specific and leading to build a bridge between house and EDM, which isn't a bad thing".[9] Later, in 2016, the popular online music store for DJsBeatport added Future house as one of three new genre tags.[10] The genre has been credited as also being pioneered byOliver Heldens andDon Diablo.[11]
Future house is a subgenre ofhouse music. Songs within the genre are normally characterized by a muted melody with a metallic, elastic-sounding[12]drop and frequency-modulated basslines.[13] The most commontempo is 126 and 128 BPM, but it can vary around the 120–130 mark.
Oliver Heldens' international chart successes "Gecko (Overdrive)" and "Last All Night (Koala)" brought the genre to wider mainstream recognition in 2014, leading to minor feuds between him and Tchami on social media.[14] Artists such asMartin Solveig,GTA andLiam Payne have since incorporated the sound into their work, leading some commentators to observe the commercialization of the style.[13]
From the jackin' house that pours out of Chicago to this day, characterized by its repetitive 4/4 beats, drum machine rhythms, off-beat hi-hat cymbals, and synthesized basslines, to the present tides of deep house and future house that are washing over the music world, the chances are high that listeners will fall in love with the genre
One of the pioneers of the genre is Dutch DJ/producer Oliver Heldens.
