Electro house

Characteristics[edit]

Simon Reynolds described electro house, as a style attributed to artists like Zedd, Erol Alkan and Bloody Beetroots.[5] Electro-house is typified by its heavy bass.[6] This is often in the form of buzzing basslines,[6] such as those created with sawtooth waves and distortion.[7] It is also often in the form of large bass drum sounds[6] in a four-on-the-floor pattern.[7] The tempo of electro house is usually between 125 and 135 beats per minute.[1] Electro house sometimes resembles tech house,[8] but it can contain melodic elements[1] and electro-influenced samples and synths.[8] In contrast, Reynolds stated the genre had "little relationship with either house or electro".[5]

Further development[edit]

Jungle terror[edit]

Jungle terror is a music genre that developed in the 2010s. It is often described as a "chaotic" mix of house with grime and drum 'n' bass rhythms.[30] There are also animal noises as well as vocal cuts and percussions. The Dutch DJ and music producer Wiwek is named as the founder of the genre,[31] who made the style popular in the EDM scene between 2013 and 2016. Skrillex, Diplo and KURA are also associated with the genre.
