Early songs that have been labelled retroactively as electro house include "Dark Invader" and "The Arrival" by Arrivers in 1996, and "Raw S*it" by Basement Jaxx in 1997.[9] Mr. Oizo's 1999 hit "Flat Beat" has also been considered an early example of the genre.[10]
Benny Benassi, with his track "Satisfaction" released in 2002, is seen as the forerunner of electro house who brought it to the mainstream.[3][4] In the early 2000s, the genre saw the emergence of new producers, such as Yasutaka Nakata.[11] In 2005, electro house saw an increase in popularity.[12] In November 2006, electro house tracks "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit" by Fedde Le Grand and "Yeah Yeah" by Bodyrox and Luciana held the number one and number two spots, respectively, in the UK Top 40 singles charts.[13] Since then, electro house producers such as Porter Robinson, Feed Me, The M Machine, Knife Party, and Skrillex[14] have emerged and become increasingly popular.
