Chicago House
Chicago house is a genre of electronic dance music characterized by its upbeat tempo, often between 118-130 BPM, and distinctive use of synthesized drum machines, sampled soul and disco vocals, and prominent basslines. Emerging in the early 1980s in Chicago's underground club scene, particularly at the Power Plant and Warehouse clubs, Chicago house was pioneered by DJs and producers who experimented with reel-to-reel tapes, drum machines, and synthesizers. The genre's heyday in the late 1980s saw its popularity spread globally, influencing the development of acid house, techno, and trance. Chicago house is notable for its emphasis on community and inclusivity, with DJs often creating music that reflected the city's diverse cultural landscape. Its unique blend of soulful, jazzy, and futuristic elements set it apart from other forms of house music, earning it a revered place in the history of electronic dance music.
