Outsider House (also known as Lo-Fi House or Raw House) is an experimental subgenre of house music characterised by a Lo-Fi aesthetic, noisy soundscapes and unconventional production techniques. Tracks are often created with a deliberately raw sound design, brittle grooves and distorted vocals – usually in defiance of established club standards. The style expands the house spectrum to include an introspective, often introverted dimension and is associated with artists such as Huerco S., Delroy Edwards and Galcher Lustwerk. Its affinity with Hypnagogic Electronics and DIY cassette culture is fundamental: Outsider House aims to unsettle rather than polish – and brings imperfect texture back to the dancefloor.
