Its first echoes appeared in the glitch album by German experimental artist Oval, in 1993. Like many contemporary electronic genres, Microhouse has many influences, most notably techno and the "click and pop" garage house that has emerged from Yorkshire Bleeps and Bass (or "Bleep"), glitch and minimal techno.
Microhouse strips house music down to a more minimal and sparse aesthetic, in the same vein as tech house. Its relationship to house and tech house music can be compared to the relationship between minimal techno and the harder techno genres. Like house and techno, microhouse is built around a 4/4 time signature. A noticeable difference between microhouse and house is the replacement of typical house kick drums, hi-hats and other drum machine samples with clicks, static, glitches, and small bits of noise. Microhouse artists often experiment with different forms of sampling to achieve this effect.
One characteristic feature of microhouse is the use of sampling: extremely short ('micro') samples of the human voice, musical instruments, everyday noises and computer created wave patterns are arranged to form complex melodies (such as can be heard in Akufen's "Deck the House"). Vocals in microhouse are often simplistic, nonsensical, and monotone in nature, although some artists, such as Matthew Dear, combine singing with microhouse production.

Immunity is without a doubt a masterpiece in its genre. Still intense and relevant after 10 years.

It's what got me into this style of music. Before that, I found a lot of the tropes annoying in edm, but this was different.
@devonscotttaylor
I always used to say this album was at least a decade ahead of its time. Here we are and it still sounds ripe

It felt like Jon was influenced by dubstep at the time adjusting his sound to the common sound in the UK at the time. Weird thing was that he seemed to replace the popular patches on synths like 'massive' in favor of granular sample based sounds.

I've been listening, studying, running, meditating, thinking, dancing, sleeping, dreaming to Open Eye Signal on and off ever since the album came out, its an organic track that transcends simply "EDM" and one I use to show people what I mean when you don't have to dance to electronic music, it just goes with life and so much more. Love it Jon ❤

Saaaaaame. That song takes me places that can't be described. From the first time I ever listened to it until now, it has not lost magic.
