HOUSE MUSIC

ABOUT HOUSE MUSIC
When House music emerged from Chicago’s underground club scene in the early 1980’s, no one would have been able to predict the momentous force it would exert on evolution of electronic music as a whole. In many ways, the story of House is the story of Chicago itself – a gritty mixture of musical styles and cultures, influenced by a hard and diverse windy city that almost demands new things to evolve out of the old. DJs seeking fresh sounds for the club scene sampled the sounds around them including rap, jazz, Latin music, synth pop, and more, setting them to the repetitive four-on-the-floor rhythms and deep basslines that define House music to this day. Tracks often include sampled vocals, and usually maintains a tempo between 110 and 130 bpm to keep bodies moving to the music all night long. The EMC Radio music channel brings together the best music from the global phenomenon that House has become for your pure listening pleasure.
