Hard house is a high-energy subgenre of house music characterized by its fast tempos, typically ranging from 135 to 150 BPM, and a distinctive pounding rhythm. Known for its heavy use of synthesizers and aggressive basslines, hard house often features euphoric builds, hammering beats, and stabbing melodies, designed for peak-time dance floor moments. The genre's sound is driven by relentless bass and repetitive, euphoric synth stabs that create an unyieldingly intense atmosphere. Pioneers of this style, such as Tony De Vit and Mauro Picotto, along with artists like Hyperlogic and Planet Perfecto, have defined hard house with their powerful tracks and anthemic hooks, making it a staple in clubs worldwide from the late 1990s through the 2000s.
