* 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 that doesn't mean what you might think.

** ''Music/Renaissance2022'' in particular is influenced by early house music.

* {{Sampling}}
** SampledUp: Much of today's house mixes are based on older obscure disco records. Black Box, Cevin Fisher and [[Creator/MarkWahlberg Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch]] popularizing Loleatta Holloway's vocals on Love Sensation are a good example.
* StupidStatementDanceMix: 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.

* HaveAGayOldTime: "Jackin'" used to refer to a dance style that emerged from 80's Chicago house parties and not [[ADateWithRosiePalms its modern interpretation]]. Although one has to wonder if artists like [[http://www.discogs.com/artist/Jackmaster+Dick Jackmaster Dick]] (who had a track entitled "Jack The Dick") were doing this intentionally and this euphemism is [[OlderThanTheyThink Older Than We Think]].

Early Chicago house has a definite gospel influence in the vocals, and producers chose soaring, powerful vocal samples that could range from choirs and divas to a [[http://youtu.be/ts8iBs3tpmw?t=1m28s 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 ItaloDisco (disco that got progressively more electronic and stayed strong in Europe after its fade in the U.S.A.) and [[NewWaveMusic 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]].

While disco was an important influence, whereas disco was produced in big, expensive professional studios, with a team of session musicians and arrangers, house music was done by [=DJs=] and music producers in their home studios using relatively inexpensive gear. After a while early house musicians started doing their own songs where the break was the foundation and used electronic instruments and sequencers to create new melodies based on the rhythm. When electronic drum machines and bassline sequencers came out it allowed for even more freedom in beat making. The drum machine beats had a steady four beat to the bar (almost always 4/4) bass drum beat that made the music highly danceable. The thumping, insistent bass drum created a powerful sonic impact when played through huge subwoofer speakers that house clubs used.

From there, many sub-genres of house music have come up, and it is arguably the most famous example of electronic dance music around.

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.
