Slap House
Slap house is a style of house music with a bouncy, punchy bassline and a steady beat at around 120 beats per minute, more melodic and radio-friendly than Brazilian bass.
It grew out of deep house in the late 2010s and became popular worldwide over the next few years, helped by YouTube music channels and by hits such as Imanbek's 2019 remix of Saint Jhn's 'Roses'. The name comes from the bouncy bassline, which recalls disco bassists playing in the slap bass style. Compared with the closely related Brazilian bass, which is aimed at clubs, it is more melodic and less bombastic.
