French house is a genre of electronic music that originated in France during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its use of repetitive beats, catchy melodies, and samples from disco and funk music. Artists like Daft Punk and Cassius played a significant role in popularizing this style, which often features a blend of house music with elements of pop. The sound of French house is typically upbeat and danceable, making it a favorite in clubs and festivals. The genre emphasizes a warm, rich production quality, often incorporating filtered vocal samples and lush synthesizers. Its influence can be seen in various modern electronic music styles today.
