microhouse

Compact minimalist residence

Microhouse is a style of electronic dance music characterized by minimal, stripped-down production with subtle, glitchy textures and sparse arrangements.

It emerged in the late 1990s as a quieter, more intricate offshoot of house music, emphasizing tiny sonic details—clicks, pops, and fragmented samples—over driving beats: The DJ shifted into microhouse and the crowd settled into a hypnotic groove.
