Intro

ChicagoHouse

Earliest form of house music. Developed in Chicago from the mid to late 1980s, and characterized by an upbeat, pointed, driving, and straight but syncopated musical arrangement. Contains a four-on-the-floor rhythmic core alongside syncopated, lively hi-hat and snare drum patterns (including frequent snare drum roll break downs), simple bass-lines, textured synth pads, thematic synth stabs and arpeggiation. Vocal question and answer techniques frequently alternate between a featured R&B vocalist and spoken lyrical motifs, either performed by an emcee or made up of sampled vocal phrases. All other variants of house, save for garage house, are effectively descendants of this style.
