Big room house (also spelled Bigroom house and simply abbreviated to "bigroom") is a subgenre of house music, which combines the melodically rich nature of progressive house and trance music with the minimalistic hard or deep subgenres, such as electro house. It is often characterized by sweeping introductions and breakdowns (featuring piano, string, vocal, and pad sounds) followed by a high-energy climactic build-up and a simplistic bass-heavy drop. DJ, producer, and prominent EDM figure Wolfgang Gartner called big room house "the EDM Apocalypse", saying "real music should have some soul and authenticity to it, and not just be a big kick drum and a trance breakdown with a cheesy one-liner and a 'big drop'".
