Microhousemusic takes minimal house to a new level, focusing on the essential dance-inducing elements of house music: the beat, the bass and the melody. Drawing from minimal techno and the glitch genre for its unique drums and chopped melody sound, it cuts house down to its bare bones.
Percussion in microhouse is reminiscent of tech house drums, replacing typical house kick drums and hi-hats with small bits of noise. Microhouse artists often experiment with different ways of sampling to achieve this. Vocals in microhouse are often very simplistic, nonsensical, and monotone in nature.
The term microhouse is usually credited to music journalist Philip Sherburne, writing for the magazine Wire in 2001. It is generally accepted that the genre began life in Germany in the late 1990s, urged along by record labels like Kompakt, Perlon, and Force Inc.

Tech houseis a subgenre of house music. Although it uses the same basic structure as house, Tech substitutes typical booming house kick drums with shorter, often distorted kicks, smaller hi-hats, and noisier snares. House’s funky jazz loops are replaced with techno-sounding synth lines.
Quote: “Tech House is what girls call techno and boys call house” (Layo Paskin)
Main exponents of the genre include Terry Francis, Nathan Coles, Asad Rizvi, Ricardo Villalobos, Layo and Bushwacka, Lee Burridge, and Craig Richards.
