Stutter House
Stutter house is a recent name for house music in which vocals and synths are chopped or gated so that they seem to stutter.
The term spread in 2023 through TikTok, playlists and the music press to describe a sound popularized by Fred again.. and similar producers. The effect comes from rapidly cutting a vocal sample or synth pad in and out in time with the beat. Some people in the industry see it as a production effect or a moment in a DJ set more than a separate genre.
