what is house music?

In its simplest form, house music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the Chicago club scene in the early 1980s. It is characterized by a repetitive four-on-the-floor beat, a relatively shallow bassline, and occasional synthesizer riffs. The style was initially popularized by DJs who played extended nightclub sets, and it eventually spread to other genres of music such as techno, acid house, and trance.

where did house music come from?

House music is a genre of electronic music created by club DJs and music producers in Chicago in the early 1980s. Early house music was generally characterized by repetitive 4/4 beats, rhythms mainly provided by drum machines, off-beat hi-hat cymbals, and synthesized basslines. While house displayed several characteristics similar to disco which preceded and influenced it, as both were DJ and record producer-created dance music genres that emphasized the use of drums, drum machines, and synthesizers, house was more electronic and minimalistic than disco, emphasizing simple drum machine rhythms and sometimes even incorporating live drums. House music quickly spread to other American cities such as Detroit, New York City, Baltimore, Newark – all of which developed their own regional scenes. In the mid-to-late 1980s, house music became popular in Europe as well as major cities in South America, Australia.
