Tropical house, also known as trop house, is a subgenre of deep house, with elements of dancehall and Balearic house. Artists of the genre are often featured at various summer festivals such as Tomorrowland. The genre was popularized by artists like Thomas Jack, Kygo, Matoma, Lost Frequencies, and Klingande.
The term "Tropical House" began as a joke by Australian producer Thomas Jack, but has since been gaining popularity among listeners. The term "trouse" should not be confused with tropical house as "trouse" is a genre that instead combines the feeling of trance and the beats of progressive house, utilising electro synths.
In the mid and late 2000s, Bob Sinclar and Yves Larock created international hits which had many characteristics of tropical house. In 2010, Edward Maya's "Stereo Love" was also a tropical house hit. In 2012, Unicorn Kid had created tropical rave, a faster form of the genre which would become known as tropical house. However, it was not until 2013 with Klangkarussell's "Sun Don't Shine" and the emergence of producers such as Kygo and Robin Schulz that tropical house became a dance music trend. During 2014 and 2015, producers such as Lost Frequencies, Felix Jaehn, Alex Adair, Sam Feldt, Bakermat, Klingande and Faul & Wad Ad would join them with big tropical house hits.. Tropical house arrived in 2015 in the globally mass market fully through Justin Bieber's 2015 album Purpose and it's first two singles What Do You Mean? and Sorry.
