What Is House Music?

House music is a style of electronic dance music that was developed by dance club DJs in the Midwestern United States city of Chicago in the early to mid-1980s. House music is strongly influenced by some elements of the late 1970s soul- and funk-infused dance music style of disco. House music takes disco's use of a prominent bass drum on every beat and developed a new style by mixing in a heavy electronic synthesizer bassline, electronic drums, electronic effects, funk and pop samples, and reverb (or delay)-enhanced vocals.*
