Fidget house is a style of house music that incorporates other dance music styles including rave, breakbeat and UK garage.
Style
It has a 4/4 beat and a cut-up, glitch style which contrasts other dance genres such as progressive house and trance. The way in which it differs from other house music styles is that it usually discards the solo drum beat introduction, thus encouraging a more cut-up rather than blend mixing style amongst DJs. Other common elements of fidget house include vocal sample snippets and a prominent bassline which often bends in pitch, rather than progressing by the semitone.
With its emphasis on rhythm and bassline rather than harmony and melody, the roots of fidget house lie in early Chicago house. The synth 'stabs' and 'pitched-up' vocal snippets that commonly feature in fidget tracks are reminiscent of the rave and UK garage genres. Closely aligned with Wonky house.
