What is Disco House?
Disco loops filtered, looped, and four-on-the-floored back into club currency.
Disco house — sometimes called filter house or French house in its late-90s peak — recycles disco-era strings, vocals, and basslines through filter sweeps and rearranged into modern house structures. Daft Punk, Bob Sinclar, Cassius, and Stardust defined the template in 1996–1999, and the style returned in the 2010s through Glitterbox, Toy Tonics, and Purple Disco Machine. Tempos sit at 118–125 BPM. The sound is unapologetically warm, vocal-led, and groove-driven, and is a frequent fixture of poolside, terrace, and "all-day" festival programming. Disco house is the most direct lineage from the 1970s disco era to the modern dancefloor and continues to drive a substantial share of mainstream house releases.
