French house is a catch-all term for house music by many French artists, a popular strand of the late 1990s and 2000s European dance music scene and a form of Euro disco. The genre has also been referred to as "neu-disco" (new disco, distinct from the non-house "nu-disco" revival), "French touch", "filter house" and "tekfunk" over the years. The defining characteristics of the sound are heavy reliance on filter and phaser effects both on and alongside samples of late 1970s and early 1980s American or European disco tracks. Celebrated and successful purveyors of this music include Daft Punk,Cassius and Etienne de Crécy. Most tracks in this vein feature steady 4/4 beats with a tempo range of 110–130 beats per minute.
French house is greatly influenced by the lineage of American dance music from the emergence of disco onwards, maintaining a distinct connection to Euro disco and the short lived space disco music style. Space disco was very popular in France, with artists like Cerrone, Space and Sheila B. Devotion during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Additional influences came from P-Funk, especially the George Clinton and Bootsy Collins hits of that era. Due to originating from the same foreign market, P-Funk was played alongside disco in many French discothèques, especially after the Disco Demolition Night took place in the United States. The Jacking aspect of Chicago house was also picked up on as a theme to incorporate (with "jack house" becoming a short-lived descriptive term for the sound in the UK).

JKuch - French House Jk
He was a good lookin' guy
Stood about six foot three
Long brown hair
As nice as he could be
Everybody liked him
But he didn't have a clue
He looked silly as hell
In those funny French shoes
You know the type
Without any heels
Leather souls
Kind of a slip on deal
He was cavalier
Whether he'd win or lose
But he looked silly as hell
In those funny French shoes
CHORUS
Funny French shoes
Funny French shoes
No man should be wearin'
Those funny French shoes
They look good on a woman's foot
I must say that they do
But no guy should be wearin'
Those funny French shoes
I know it's not right
To judge a man by his clothes
By the way that he looks
Or the people he may know
I'm embarrassed to say
If I had to choose
I could never really trust
Any man wearing those funny French shoes
CHORUS
Get some socks on, man!
