The term "future house" was coined by French DJ Tchami[6][7] and was first used to categorise his 2013 remix of Janet Jackson's "Go Deep" on SoundCloud.

I guess people made it what it is because my music was specific and leading to build a bridge between house and EDM, which isn't a bad thing".

[9] Later, in 2016, the popular online music store for DJs Beatport added Future house as one of three new genre tags.

Oliver Heldens' international chart successes "Gecko (Overdrive)" and "Last All Night (Koala)" brought the genre to wider mainstream recognition in 2014, leading to minor feuds between him and Tchami on social media.

[14] Artists such as Martin Solveig, GTA and Liam Payne have since incorporated the sound into their work, leading some commentators to observe the commercialization of the style.
