Tropical house, also known as trop house,[1] is a subgenre of house music, and a derivation of tropical music,[2][3] with elements of dancehall and Balearic house.[4] Artists of the genre are often featured at various summer festivals such as Tomorrowland.[5] The genre was popularized by artists including Thomas Jack, Klangkarussell, Kygo, Klingande, Robin Schulz, Bakermat, Matoma, Lost Frequencies, Felix Jaehn, Seeb and Gryffin.[6] Tropical house hits include Kygo's "Firestone", Klingande's "Jubel", Felix Jaehn's remix of "Cheerleader", Robin Schulz's remixes of "Waves" and "Prayer in C", and Lost Frequencies's remix of "Are You With Me".

The term "Tropical House" began as a joke by Australian producer Thomas Jack, but has since gone on to gain popularity among listeners.[2][7] 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, using electro synths.[8]
