What is French House?

French House is a subgenre of house music that:

• actively uses vintage disco samples,

• is built around funky basslines and smooth filters,

• creates an atmosphere of nostalgia and elegant nightlife,

• emphasizes clean groove and a �human� rhythm,

• often uses techniques of filtering, chopping, effects, and compression.

The genre gained international recognition thanks to its signature sound: warm, sunny, smooth and at the same time dance-oriented.

French Touch is the music of stylish Paris, night clubs, fashion, and art-film aesthetics.

Early 1990s: the birth of the style

The first French producers began experimenting with disco samples and house rhythms, drawing inspiration from:

• Chicago House

• Funk

• Disco

• Eurodance

This is when the unique �French filtered sound� emerged.

Mid-1990s � the explosion of popularity

The world sees the rise of Daft Punk, Cassius, Motorbass (Etienne de Crecy + Philippe Zdar), Saint Germain.

Labels such as Roule, Crydamoure, Ed Banger, and Virgin France shape an entire wave.

The single Stardust � �Music Sounds Better With You� becomes the anthem of the era.

2000s: the second French wave

Artists emerge: Justice, Alan Braxe, Fred Falke, Kavinsky, Breakbot.

The music becomes more electro-oriented, introducing electro-house with a French flavor.

2020s: the renaissance of French Touch

The genre experiences a revival thanks to:

• soundtracks (Drive, Miami aesthetics)

• a return to �analog� disco-house

A new wave of producers continues the tradition, adding modern production, future funk, and house-pop elements.
