Research into the House Genre

House music originated in America in the early 1980's in the American city or Chicago. Early house music was generally dance-based music characterised by repetitive beats over and over again which meant that the repetitive rhythm of house was more important than the song itself. House music today, while keeping several of these core elements has changed drastically where by now you get less vocals used in the songs and when you do get some lyrics its only either for a short length of time or is repeated over and over again.

House music also varies a lot in style and choice range, which ranges from the soulful and atmospheric deep house to the more quite slow moving house. Today house music is getting more and more popular and this first started out when iconic pop artists at the time liked and linked their music talents up with some of the house DJ's to collaberate mixes. Some of these artists such as Madonna, Janet Jackson, Björk, Aretha Franklin and Steps all found them selfs mixing into the house genre at the early stages of its existance.
