Let There Be House
Share This Essay:
house music evolved with the technology of music breakthrough age of the electronic synthesizers, the first house tracks usually a deep house style or also referred to as chicago house have jazzy influences with breakdowns, buildups and usually a heavy bassline which carries the vibe throughout the track.
negative responses are shown when unappreciating people are introduced to house music, getting the same old “boom tish, boom tish” line that anyone improvises in a joking manner when listening to house music. most people dont see beyond that, and therefore imitate the beat and looks hilarious most of the times. But, today i would like to introduce you to something special, a bit more than just an imitation of the classic techno beat. what many disregard as music by calling random beats, contains more than just the imitations of it.
The whole art lies in the clever repetitiveness of its beats and audio effects which enhance the experience. it is like a story when you concentrate in its production, such stories can give euphoric feelings or put you in a state of trans.
There are many branches of house such as going deep-soulful, to progressive uplifting music which differs in the mood it expresses while listening to it. as the years go by with the aid of technology and sophisticated computer softwares many styles seem to emerge making today’s house music community bigger and more diverse than any point in history.
and somewhere in chicago this accapella emerged declaring the unity under which people share the same emotions:
In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared, Let there be HOUSE
and house music was born.
