HISTORY OF HOUSE MUSIC

Not everyone understands House music; it's a spiritual thing; a body thing;
a soul thing.

House music is a collection of styles of electronic dance music. The name is said to derive from the Warehouse club in Chicago in the early- to mid-1980s, where the resident DJ, Frankie Knuckles, mixed classic disco and European synthpop recordings. Club regulars referred to his selection of music as ""house"" music.
The common element of most house music is a 4/4 beat a kick drum on every beat together with a continuous, repeating bassline.

By 1985 house music dominated the clubs of Chicago. Also, the music and movement was aided by the musical electronic revolution.
A form of music was forming at the same time in Detroit, what became known as ""Detroit Techno"". A major influence to the fusion of eclectic sounds into the signature detroit techno sound was a radio program which ran in the mid 1970s until the 1980s by legendary disc jockey The Electrifying Mojo. Music heavily influenced by European Electronica (Kraftwerk, Art of Noise), early b-boy Hip-Hop (Man Parrish, Soul Sonic Force) and Italo Disco (Doctor's Cat, Ris, Klein M.B.O.). The biggest hit and most influential in the House Music scene was Rythim is Rythim's ""Strings of Life"" which became a cult classic in dance music clubs internationally.

In Britain the growth of house can be divided around the ""Summer of Love"" in 1988. House had a presence in Britain almost as early as it appeared in Chicago; however there was a strong divide between the House music as part of the gay scene and ""straight"" music. The underground house scene in cities such as Birmingham, Manchester and London were also provided with many underground Pirate Radio stations and DJ's alike which helped bolster an already contagious, but otherwise ignored by the mainstream, music genre. By the end of 1989 House was mainstream music in Britain, it charted regularly with ""Ride on Time"" from Black Box being at number one for six weeks.

But house was also developing on Ibiza. In the 1970s Ibiza was a hippy stop-over and a site for the rich, but by the mid-1980s a distinct Balearic mix of house was discernible. Several clubs like Amnesia with DJ Alfredo were playing a mix of rock, pop, disco and house.

In America the music was being developed to create a more sophisticated sound, moving beyond just drum loops and short samples. New York saw this maturity evidenced in the slick production of disco house crossover tracks from artists such as Mateo & Matos. In Chicago, Marshall Jefferson had formed the house 'super group' Ten City (from intensity), demonstrating the developments in ""That's the Way Love Is"". In Detroit there were the beginnings of what would be called techno.
Other influences from New York came from the hip-hop, raggae, and Latin community, and many of the New York City super producers/DJ's began surfacing for the first time (Erick Morillo, Roger Sanchez, Junior Sanchez, Danny Tenaglia, Jonathan Peters) with unique sounds that would evolve into other genres (tribal house, progressive house, funky house).

In Britain, further experiments in the genre boosted its appeal. The idea of 'chilling out' was born in Britain with ambient house albums like the KLF's Chill Out. However, this album is not house strictly speaking, because it's prominent lack of percussion on most tracks. Another example would be the song ""Analogue BubbleBath"" by Aphex Twin. In fact, Chill Out electronic music is often defined as a totally different genres, such as Ambient, or even downtempo (later on) or New Age (older). The unifying feature of Chill Out electronica is long sustained tones and a more tonal than percussive-noisey quality compared to other styles. Nevertheless, lots of compilation albums sprung up, no doubt, each one redefining the terminology along the way.
At the same time, a new indie dance scene full of variety was being forged by bands.

In New York, bands such as Deee-Lite furthered house music's international and multi-era cultural influence. Two distinctive tracks from this era were the Orb's ""Little Fluffy Clouds"" (with a distinctive vocal sample from Rickie Lee Jones) and the Happy Mondays' ""Wrote for Luck"" (""WFL"") which was transformed into a dance hit by Paul Oakenfold.
During the 1990s individuals and particularly corporations realized that house music could be extremely lucrative and much of the 1990s saw the rise of sponsorship deals and other industry practices common in other genres.

In 2005 house music finds itself at a crossroads. The soulful black and Latin-influenced sound enjoy popularity. Audiences all over the world are fragmenting into different camps based around the old-guard house sound and a darker, more synth-driven sound influenced by '80s retro sentiment.
Just recently, Richard Daley, Mayor of Chicago proclaimed August 10, 2005 to be House Unity Day in Chicago last July 27, 2005 in celebration of House Music's 21st anniversary. DJ's like Frankie Knuckles, Marshall Jefferson, Paul Johnson and Mickey Oliver were cited among the many other DJ's who came together to celebrate the proclamation at the Summer Dance Series event organized by Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs.
