House Music Trends for 2020
Contents
2020 is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to start thinking about your New Year’s resolutions. If one of your goals is to get into shape, why not start by working out to some house music?
The Rise of Lo-Fi House
In 2020, expect to see a continued rise in popularity of lo-fi house music. This genre combines the elements of traditional house music with those of lo-fi hip hop, resulting in a mellower, more laid-back sound. While it’s often associated with bedroom producers and bedroom DJs, don’t be surprised to see it break into the mainstream this year.
The Return of Garage
Recent years have seen a resurgence in the popularity of garage, with artists like Disclosure and Jus Nowhere leading the charge. This time around, the sound has been updated for the 21st century, incorporating elements of grime, hip-hop, and techno. Look for this trend to continue in 2020, as more and more producers experiment with this versatile genre.
The Growth of Melodic House
The past few years have seen a major resurgence in the popularity of house music, with a particular focus on the sub-genre of melodic house. This style of music is characterized by its catchy melodies, often accompanied by dreamy or atmospheric vocals. It’s no wonder that so many people are drawn to it – it’s the perfect music to relax or dance to, and it has a way of transport you to another place.
While melodic house has been around for a few years now, 2020 is shaping up to be a big year for the genre. So far this year we’ve already seen some huge releases from artists like Disclosure, CamelPhat, and Chris Lake, and there’s plenty more on the way. With such a strong start to the year, we can only imagine that melodic house is going to continue to grow in popularity throughout 2020.
The Popularity of Afro House
Afro house is a subgenre of house music that is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. It combines traditional African sounds and rhythms with modern electronic music production techniques, and often features guest vocalists singing in African languages.
Afro house originated in South Africa in the early 2010s, but has since spread to other parts of Africa, Europe, and even North and South America. In recent years, some of the biggest names in EDM have begun incorporating Afro house into their sets and productions, helping to bring the genre to a wider audience.
Even though it is still a relatively new genre, Afro house has already made a significant impact on the global music scene, and looks set to continue growing in popularity in the years to come.
