Introduction
House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in American nightclubs in the 1980s. It was initially popularized by African American and Latino club-goers in Chicago and New York City, and has since spread to various other regions of the United States and the world. The style is characterized by a heavy reliance on synthesizers and drum machines, as well as a wide variety of electronic percussion sounds. House music is often based on rhythmically-oriented, repetitive looping disco tracks, which are then mixed together by DJs to create a continuous flow of music.
The popularity of house music has waxed and waned over the years, but the genre has maintained a strong presence in the electronic dance music scene. In recent years, house music has experienced something of a resurgence in popularity, with a new generation of producers and DJs emerging onto the scene.
There are many sub-genres of house music, each with its own distinct sound and style. The following is a list of some of the most popular types of house music:

Kiesza – Hideaway
Kiesza’s “Hideaway” topped charts in 2014, and for good reason – the track is an infectious mix of ’90s house and modern elements. The deep bassline and simple piano melody are driven by Kiesza’s powerful vocals, making it impossible to resist getting up and dancing.
Clean Bandit – Rather Be
“Rather Be” is a song by British electronic group Clean Bandit. It features vocals by Jess Glynne. The song was released on 17 January 2014 as the fourth single from their debut studio album, New Eyes (2014). “Rather Be” peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Clean Bandit’s second successive number-one single after “Mozart’s House”.
