French house

French house (also referred to as French touch, filter house, or tekfunk) is a style of house music devised by French musicians in the 1990s.[1] It is a form of Euro disco and a popular strand of the late 1990s and 2000s European EDM scene. The defining characteristics of the genre are filter and phaser effects both on and alongside samples from late 1970s and early 1980s European disco tracks. Tracks sometimes contained original hooks inspired by these samples, providing thicker harmonic foundations than the genre's forerunners.[2] Most tracks in this style are in 4

Purveyors of French house include Daft Punk,[3] David Guetta, Bob Sinclar, Martin Solveig, Cassius, The Supermen Lovers,[4] Modjo, Justice, Air, and Étienne de Crécy
