Tropical house slows down house and deep house to a relaxed 100–115 BPM and trades electronic instrumentation for steel pans, marimbas, ukuleles, and acoustic guitars. The sound emerged in 2014 through Norwegian producer Kygo, whose remixes of Ed Sheeran and "Firestone" defined the template, and was rapidly absorbed into mainstream pop. The style is closer to chillout and reggae-pop than club house, and lives more on radio and streaming playlists than dancefloors. Producers like Klingande, Robin Schulz, and Thomas Jack helped consolidate it. Tropical house is generally considered a 2010s pop-crossover phenomenon rather than an underground club genre, though traces of its instrumentation persist in contemporary deep house and Afro House.
