Piano house has been a popular sub-genre of house music since the 1990s, and it has recently experienced a resurgence in popularity with tracks from artists like Joel Corry, David Guetta, and MK. If you want to make piano house like these DJs, follow these steps:

Step 2:

Create the Chords The chords are the foundation of piano house. Start by creating a simple chord progression that is catchy and easy to remember. You can use a piano plugin like Kontakt or Alicia's Keys to create your chords, or you can use a sample pack that includes piano chords.

Step 3:

Add the Beat The beat is what gives piano house its energy and groove. Start by creating a simple four-on-the-floor kick pattern, and then add the snare and hi-hat. Use percussion samples to add texture and interest to the beat.

Step 4:

Add the Bassline The bassline is what drives the track forward and adds depth to the sound. Use a deep, rolling bass that fits with the chords and adds to the overall groove of the track. You can use a plugin like Serum to create the bassline or use a sample from a sample pack.

Step 5:

Add Melodic Elements Once you have your chords, beat, and bassline, it's time to add melodic elements to your track. This can include synths, pianos, or any other instrument that you want to use. Experiment with different sounds and melodies until you find something that works well with your track.

Step 6:

Add the Vocal Hook The vocal hook is usually a catchy, repetitive phrase that is the centerpiece of the track. Look for vocal samples that fit with the overall vibe of your track or record your own vocals. Make sure that the vocal hook fits with the chords and adds to the overall vibe of the track.

Step 7:

Mix and Master Your Track After you have all of your elements in place, it's time to mix and master your track. This is the process of balancing the levels of each element in your track and adding effects to make it sound polished and professional. You can use EQ, compression, reverb, and other effects to achieve the sound that you want.

Step 8:

Arrangement and Final Touches Once you have mixed and mastered your track, it's time to arrange it. Look for the right buildup and drop sections, and create a breakdown section that works well with your track. Add final touches such as sound effects, risers, and other elements that will make your track stand out.

In conclusion, making piano house like Joel Corry, David Guetta, or MK involves choosing the right sounds, creating the chords, adding the beat and bassline, adding melodic elements and the vocal hook, mixing and mastering your track, and adding final touches. With practice and experimentation, you can create your own unique piano house tracks that stand out in the competitive world of music production.
