France has made a huge impact in the music industry in general. We have all been blessed to know some talented artists, singers and composers who have strutted the world and shared their gifts and skills with us.
French people are born music lovers, which is quite understandable since it has been coined that France is the ‘Country of Love’. Many artists have put in most of their talents in songs and lyrics, with quite an impressive result that shook the world.
Right now, it is imperative to know that on every corner of the music planet, one French influence would surely be standing above anything else, like for example, the so-called genre, French House.
House music has been a rave since the late 1980s, stretching its influence up until the contemporary times. Many people craved for it, with some even turning into full-pledged fans of the said genre.
The magnetic beats combined with specific skills used on musical instruments, the seemingly dizzying voices behind metaphoric and usually short lyrics, house music are definitely one genre that is known to transcend time.
French artists, being the innovative lot that they are, have ensured that they will have a slice of this addicting house music, hence, the birth of the illustrious French House genre.
Hailing from the bumpy clubs of European disco on the start of 1990s and early 2000s, French House has made it big because of an elite group of levelheaded French musicians. Over the years, French House has also been coined as French Touch, Filter House and TekFunk while it careened over the European dance music scene at the time of its inception.
French House has brought inspiration to other musical genres such as Euro Disco, US Disco, Chicago House and deep house with the primary use of instruments in the likes of samplers, drum machines, synthesizers and sequencers.
What sets French House apart from other types of house music is the strong reliance of its sound on filters and phasers, which are used in the American and European disco tracks in the 1970s. French House is known to have thicker harmonic foundations with a steady beat of 4/4 and a range of 110-130 beats per minute for its tempo.
French House has been well publicized when MTV UK in 1999 presented it to the public, even coining a French House explosion phenomenon after an interview with then house purveyors Bob Sinclair, Air and Cassius. Word of mouth and sharing of musical experiences brought French House to mainstream music, owing its success to nearby countries patronizing what this genre has to offer.
Some of the many artists who have thrived well within the French House genre include Alan Braxe, Breakbot, Yuksek, Cherokee, Russ Chimes, Dave Armstrong, Louis La Roche, Modjo, Motorbass, Sebastian Leger, Stardust, The Phantom’s Revenge, Together, Uppermost and Thomas Bangalter.
Nowadays, you might be surprised to know that worldwide prodigies the likes of Daft Punk, Cassius, The Superman Lovers and Justice have been known agents to scatter French House pollen all over the music industry.
French House is known to be a gargantuan genre as several music outfit moguls have specifically worked towards making it as grand as before, with inspirations such as Bromance, Kitsune, Ed Banger Records, So French Records, Vertigo and Waves.
