House Music ; ; ; ;House music refers to a collection of styles of electronic dance music, the earliest forms beginning in the early- to mid- 1980s. The name derives from the Warehouse club in Chicago, where the resident DJ, Frankie Knuckles, mixed old disco classics and Eurosynth pop. Club regulars referred to his selection of music as "house" music. House Music also had its origins in Detroit and Hamilton, Ontario.
; ; ; ;The common element of most house music is a 4/4 beat generated by a drum machine or other electronic means (such as a sampler), together with a solid (usually also electronically generated) bassline. Upon this foundation are added electronically generated sounds and samples of music such as jazz, blues and synth pop. (IMO, house is in the same electronic field as techno, but it isn't as such. Techno is noisy and trashy, while house is something you can actually dance to. :o
