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. It is a form of Eurodisco and a popular strand of the late 1990s and 2000s European dance music 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. Most tracks in this style are in 44 time and feature steady four-on-the-floor beats in the tempo range of 110–130 beats per minute. French house acts include Pépé Bradock, Daft Punk, David Guetta, Bob Sinclar, Martin Solveig, Cassius, the Micronauts, the Supermen Lovers, Modjo, Justice, Air, and Étienne de Crécy.
