Tropical house, often abbreviated as trop house, is a fairly new house music subgenre. It is pioneered by the Australian DJ and producer Thomas Jack. Other known artists working in the genre are Kygo from Norway, Bakermat from Netherlands and Klingande from France. The name of the genre itself started off as a kind of a joke by Thomas Jack, but has since been gaining popularity among listeners.[1]
Artists of the genre are often featured at various festivals, such as the appearance of Bakermat on the Bakermat and Friends stage in Tomorrowland 2014.[3] The genre itself was called the "future of EDM" by the music critic Mark Vogel.[citation needed]
The term "trouse" should not be confused with trop house as "trouse" is used as the name of the genre that instead combines the feeling of trance and the beats of progressive house, utilizing electro synths.[4]
Origins of the term
The term "tropical house" was used as a joke by the Australian DJ and producer Thomas Jack that came from being pressured into picking a genre to categorize his music under combined with his love for summer vibes and the beach. Since then, the name caught on and has been used among listeners to categorize the style of music.
The genre "Tropical House" was kind of a joke at the start. One of my mates told me to label my music under a genre. I loved summer vibes and the beach so I thought tropical house would be a cool name.
— Thomas Jack, interview with Thissongissick[1]
Characteristics
Hawaiian shirts characterize the traditional Trop House DJ garb. Trop house utilizes a mix of catchy and melodic chimes and good vibes, often characterized as a summary or tropical feel.[5] Just like deep house, trop house sticks to a steady beat and a relaxed sound and does not usually feature ups and downs, but unlike deep house, trop house utilizes light vocals, often even focusing around them. Percussion, saxophone and piano are often used, with flute and guitar making appearances in trop house songs as well. The song length is usually around 4 to 6 minutes and the tempo generally stays in the range from 100 to 120 BPM.
