Bigroom (or Bigroom House) is a subgenre of electronic dance music (EDM) that emerged in the early 2010s, known for its anthemic, festival-friendly sound. It features massive drops, powerful kicks, and euphoric melodies, making it a staple of mainstage festival performances. Bigroom is closely related to progressive house but is more minimalistic, focusing on high-energy builds and explosive drops.

• Minimalistic but high-energy arrangements, designed for large crowds.
