Epic House[?]

A variant of progressive house featuring lush synth-fills and dramatic beat breakdowns.

French House[?]

Hip House[?]

The simple fusion of rap rhymes with house beats.

Italo House[?]

Slick production techniques, catchy melodies, rousing piano lines and American vocal styling typifies the Italian House sound.

New York[?]
