[Endless Summer EDM] Best Tropical House: Latest and All-Time Classics (2025)

Known as a subgenre of house music, tropical house actually originated as a genre name from a joke by popular Australian DJ Thomas Jack.

In addition to typical house elements like four-on-the-floor beats, it incorporates live instruments that evoke a tropical vibe—such as bongos and steel drums.

Its defining trait is melodic vocals set against an expansive, open sound.

Gaining attention from the 2010s onward, tropical house has become so prevalent that its sound is now commonplace on the hit charts.

For those who want to start listening to tropical house, here’s a comprehensive introduction ranging from the latest hits to timeless classics!
