Defining House Music

So what is House music? The answer is both easy and complicated. Early House tracks were often simply people in Club taking existing Disco tracks and stripping them down to their basic elements. This would include a drum beat, some bass lines and occasional keyboard riffs. These essential tracks would then be looped and played continuously often with a DJ adding in other effects and samples as the night went on. House music was born in the clubs of Chicago and named after the legendary Warehouse Club where DJ Frankie Knuckles becoming known as the “Godfather of House” played many all-night sets that built the foundations of the genre

History of House Music

House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in Chicago in the early 1980s. It was initially popularized in Midwest underground nightclubs and later attended by house music fans from other Chicago dance clubs. By the late 1980s and early 1990s, house music became popular in Europe as well as major cities in South America, and Australia. Since the early to mid-1990s, house music has been infused into mainstream pop and dance music worldwide.

House is a genre of electronic dance music characterized by a repetitive four-on-the-floor beat and a typical tempo of 120 to 130 beats per minute. It was created by DJs and producers from Chicago’s underground club culture in the 1980s, as they experimented with new electronic equipment that had just become available on the market, including drum machines, digital audio processors, and synthesizers.

The Evolution of House Music

Disc jockeys in the 1970s played soul and funk records in dance clubs, but the music they created was not yet called house. In the early 1980s, DJs in Chicago began experimenting with mixing disco tracks with electronic instruments to create a new sound. This new style of music became known as house. House music was named after the nightclubs where it was first played – The Warehouse and The Music Box.

The early house music sound was minimal, with simple drum machine beats and synthesizer basslines. As the genre developed in the late 1980s, house tracks began to incorporate more elements from other genres such as techno, acid house, and hip hop. By the early 1990s, house music had become a global phenomenon, with tracks such as “Pump Up the Jam” by Belgian group Technotronic and “Everybody Dance Now” by Dutch duo C+C Music Factory topping charts around the world.

In the 21st century, house music has continued to evolve, incorporating elements from electro, dubstep, and even rock ‘n’ roll. Today’s top house tracks are being produced by DJs and producers from all over the world, making it one of the most diverse and exciting genres of music.
