House Music: Difference between revisions

 

'''House Music''' started in Chicago in [[The Eighties]] (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.

* [[Ear Worm]]: 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.

* [[Epic Riff]]: Pretty much any piano house tune from the early rave days.

* [[Have a Gay Old Time]]: "Jackin'" used to refer to a dance style that emerged from 80's Chicago house parties and not [[A Date with Rosie Palms|it's modern interpretation]].

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