History Main / HouseMusic

House Music started in Chicago in TheEighties (but received little exposure outside Chicago until the late Eighties/Nineties) when [=DJs=] started looping the breaks [a part of the song where the beat is the emphasis] of disco songs over and over, because they found that the crowd reacted to those specific parts the best.

** SampledUp: Much of todays house mixes are based on older obscure disco records. Black Box, Cevin Fisher and [[MarkWhalberg Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch]] popularizing Loleatta Holloway's vocals on Love Sensation are a good example.

* Techno: Has quite a lot of cross over with both this and progressive.

* Sampling

* StupidStatementDanceRemix: From the early Jack had a groove sample, to numerous rap samples, to other public domain recordings. House music has gone to town with these.

Loop four beats of a disco record. You now have the foundation of a House song.

* [=~Everything's Funkier With Disco~=]: Groups like Daft Punk, Full Intention, The Freemasons and Joey Negro have used this trope in mind to revitalize both the house and disco genres in the mid [[TheNineties 90's]].

After a while early house musicians started recording their own songs where the break was the foundation and used electronic instruments/sequencers to create new melodies based on the rhythm. When drum machines came out it allowed for even more freedom in beat making. Early Chicago house has a definite gospel influence, vocal samples could range from choirs and divas to a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VE-XvuChFc&translated=1 preacher-esque person yelling about the tenets of house music]]. This paved the way for the freeform vocal samples (people yelling, rapping, singing, generally doing whatever as long as it's with the beat) to dominate later house tracks. Other influences were Italo-disco (disco that got progressively more electronic and stayed strong in Europe after its fade in the U.S.A.) and {{New Wave}}. As technology improved experimentation within the medium grew. Experimenting with the Roland TB-303 (a synthesizer/sequencer) resulted in acid house, which basically [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Summer_of_Love started the rave movement as we know it]].

* LyricalTic: House music will often contain certain [[CatchPhrase Catchphrases]] [[TotallyRadical depending on the time period ]] and city it was made in. 1980's Chicago house uses the term "jackin" along, and no it doesn't mean [[ADateWithRoseyPalms what you might think]]

* HeartbeatSoundtrack: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PafMXVV-QKI Armand's Cardiac mix ]] of Jimmy Somerville's Heartbeat

* EarWorm: A common trope found in house music as there often has to be some memorable hook. A Guy Called Gerald 'Voodoo Ray', Lil Louis 'French Kiss', Lil Mo Yang Yang 'Reach', The Bucketheads 'The Bomb' are all good examples.

{{Coolest Club Ever}} : Pretty much any [[TheEighties Post-80's]] scene in a nightclub (or rave) is going to be playing House music, as it is the most quintessential form of Electronic Dance Music.
