A loose term describing the influence of the French on electronic music, especially house. French house artists, notably Cassius (Philippe Zdar, Boom Bass), Daft Punk (Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, Thomas Bangalter), and Étienne de Crécy, popularized the using of samples from disco records of the late 70's/early 80's and running those samples through different filters and phasers on computers, creating a funky, "new disco" style of house distinct from the Chicago style popular in the mid-90s. Today, it usually describes any electronic music obviously influenced by French (like Louis La Roche) as well as new electronic acts that actually are French (like Justice).
