House is a genre of electronic dance music characterized by a repetitive four-on-the-floor beat and a typical tempo of 115–130 beats per minute. [11] It was created by DJs and music producers from Chicago's underground club culture and evolved slowly in the early/mid 1980s as DJs began altering disco songs to give them a more mechanical beat.
The genre's main musical characteristic is its use of predominantly electronic piano chords in a more lyrical form than classic Chicago house records.
