Filter House
Filter house is house music built on looped disco samples that are swept through audio filters, and the term is largely another name for French house.
The style is named after its main trick: a filter effect applied to a sampled loop, so that the loop seems to rise out of a muffled sound and sink back into it. It developed in France in the 1990s and usually runs at around 110 to 130 beats per minute. Spotify lists it as a separate tag, but the name is generally used for the same music as French house.
Artists it is known for: Daft Punk, Stardust, Alan Braxe.
