French house (also referred to as French touch, filter house, or tekfunk) is a style of house musicdevised by French musicians in the 1990s. It is a form of Euro disco and a popular strand of the late 1990s and 2000s European dance music scene. The defining characteristics of the genre are filterand phaser effects both on and alongside samplesfrom late 1970s and early 1980s European discotracks. Tracks sometimes contained original hooksinspired by these samples, providing thicker harmonic foundations than the genre's forerunners. Most tracks in this style are in 4/4 time and feature steady four-on-the-floor beats in the tempo range of 110–130 beats per minute.
