House music
Four-on-the-floor electronica
House music is a genre of electronic dance music that emerged from Chicago clubs in the early 1980s, characterized by repetitive four-on-the-floor beats, synthesized basslines, and often soulful vocals.
The name comes from the Warehouse, a Chicago nightclub where DJs pioneered the sound.
House spawned numerous subgenres—deep house, acid house, tech house—and remains foundational to electronic dance culture: The DJ dropped some classic house and the whole floor moved.
