Information About

Chicago House




House music grew out of the post- Disco dance club culture of the early 1980s. After disco became popular, certain urban DJ s, particularly those in Gay communities, altered the music to make it less Pop -oriented. The Beat became more mechanical and the bass grooves became deeper, while elements of electronic Synth Pop , Latin Soul , Dub , Rap , and Jazz were grafted over the music's insistent, unvarying 4/4 beat. Frequently, the music was purely instrumental and when there were vocalists, they were faceless female Diva s that often sang wordless melodies.
