===Coinage===
The term ''microhouse'' was coined by music journalist and DJ [[Philip Sherburne]]<ref name=NPR>Michaelangelo Matos (April 7, 2010). [https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125676131 "Pantha Du Prince: Techno Music A Rock Fan Can Love"], ''[[NPR Music]]''.</ref> in a July 2001 article for the magazine ''[[The Wire (magazine)|The Wire]]''.<ref name="wire" /> Dave Stelfox wrote in [[Hyperdub]] that the term described "the spectral, hypnotic interpretation of classic Chicago grooves emerging on labels such as Perlon, Kompakt, Playhouse, Ongaku, Klang Elektronik and the Mille Plateaux family of imprints-most notably Force Tracks and Force Inc- at the turn of the millennium."<ref name="hyperdub2002">{{cite web|last = Stelfox|first = Dave| url = http://www.hyperdub.com/softwar/mri.cfm | title = Clicky Disco: Microhouse's Forward March| year = 2002 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20040315214354/http://www.hyperdub.com/softwar/mri.cfm |archive-date = 2004-03-15 |publisher=[[Hyperdub]]}}</ref> 

Sherburne recalled how listening to Perlon's ''Superlongevity'' compilation in 1999, he "had the strong impression that House had been stripped down to a trifold essence: rhythm, soul and silence." For Sherburne, this was "not so much House as 'MicroHouse'," capturing "not only the proportions of the music, but also its semi-underground status, positioned at odds with more  traditional [[deep house|Deep House]], to say nothing of the genre's even more mainstream, [[superclub|megaclub]] fare." He traced the sound's reductionism to "[[Chain Reaction (record label)|Chain Reaction]]'s blissed out minimalism," and its "punchier and groovier" qualities to "[[Matthew Herbert]]'s clipped, cushioned romps, and the minimalist Chicago disco pioneered by the likes of [[Moodymann]] and [[Theo Parrish]]."  He traced further antecedents in "the catalogues of German labels like Klang Elektronik, Playhouse and subsequently Force Tracks".<ref name="wire">{{cite journal |date=July 2001 |journal=[[The Wire (magazine)|The Wire]] |title=The Rules of Reduction |page=19 |last=Sherburne |first=Philip |issue=209 |publisher=The Wire Magazine Ltd |authorlink=Philip Sherburne |url=https://archive.org/details/the-wire-magazine-2001-07-cbz/page/n17/mode/2up}}</ref>
