Etymology
The term "future house" was coined by French DJ Tchami{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8504278/billboard-dance-100-2019|title=Billboard Dance 100 Artists of 2019: The Complete List|magazine=Billboard|access-date=2019-06-02}}{{Cite web|url=https://news.beatport.com/us/is-there-a-future-for-future-house/|title=Is There a Future for Future House?|last=Rodriguez|first=Krystal|date=2015-11-19|website=Beatport|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222125921/https://news.beatport.com/us/is-there-a-future-for-future-house/|archive-date=2015-12-22|access-date=2019-10-08}} and was first used to categorise his 2013 remix of Janet Jackson's "Go Deep" on SoundCloud.{{Citation|title=Tchami x Janet Jackson - Go Deep (remix)|url=https://soundcloud.com/iamtchami/tchami-x-janet-jackson-go-deep|language=en|access-date=2019-06-02}} Tchami used the term without considering it a genre saying in a 2015 interview "Future house was meant to be 'any kind of house music that hasn't been invented yet,' so I never considered it as a genre. I guess people made it what it is because my music was specific and leading to build a bridge between house and EDM, which isn't a bad thing".{{Cite web|url=https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/8q79m3/tchami-does-not-fear-the-rinsing-of-future-house|title=Tchami Does Not Fear the Rinsing of Future House|last=Khawaja|first=Jemayel|date=2015-01-27|website=Thump|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-02}} Later, in 2016, the popular online music store for DJs Beatport added Future house as one of three new genre tags.{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/7503475/beatport-new-genre-tags-future-house-big-room-dance|title=Beatport Adds Three New Genre Tags, Takes the 'EDM' Out of 'Progressive House'|magazine=Billboard|access-date=2019-06-02}} The genre has been credited as also being pioneered by Oliver Heldens and Don Diablo.Sources:

Characteristics
Future house is a subgenre of house music. Songs within the genre are normally characterized by a muted melody with a metallic, elastic-sounding{{cite web|url=http://wegotthiscovered.com/music/vicetone-brings-bounce-future-house-catch/|title=Vicetone Brings The Bounce To Future House With Catch Me|last=Cameron|first=John|date=21 September 2015 |publisher=Wegotthiscovered.com|access-date=2015-10-28}} drop and frequency-modulated basslines. The most common tempo is 126 and 128 BPM, but it can vary around the 120–130 mark.
Popularity
Oliver Heldens' international chart successes "Gecko (Overdrive)" and "Last All Night (Koala)" brought the genre to wider mainstream recognition in 2014, leading to minor feuds between him and Tchami on social media.{{cite web|last=Brockelbank |first=Elliott |url=http://www.edmtunes.com/2014/09/tchami-throws-shade-over-future-house-supremacy/ |title=Tchami Throws Shade at Oliver Heldens Over Future House Supremacy |date=25 September 2014 |publisher=EDMTunes |access-date=2016-02-17}} Artists such as Martin Solveig, GTA and Liam Payne have since incorporated the sound into their work, leading some commentators to observe the commercialization of the style.{{cite news|url=https://thump.vice.com/en_uk/article/tchami-does-not-fear-the-rinsing-of-future-house|title=Tchami Does Not Fear the Rinsing of Future House|date=January 27, 2015|publisher=Thump - Vice|author=Jemayel Khawaja|access-date=8 February 2016}}
