Melodic House

Melodic House is a subgenre of house music characterized by its focus on emotive melodies, lush soundscapes, and a progressive, building structure. It often incorporates elements of deep house, progressive house, and trance, creating a sophisticated and atmospheric sound.

Melodic House emerged in the early 2010s, gaining popularity as a bridge between the deeper sounds of deep house and the more energetic vibes of progressive house. Artists began experimenting with combining complex melodic structures with the four-on-the-floor beat, influenced by earlier progressive and trance sounds but aiming for a more refined and emotionally resonant experience. Labels such as Anjunadeep played a significant role in its popularization.
