House Music Sites- Top Ten. House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in Chicago in the U.S.A. in the early 1980s. By the mid 80s it had started to become very popular and made its way across the Atlantic and entered the European music scene. Early house music consisted of a repetitive 4/4 beat usually produced by a drum machine with off-beat ‘hi-hat’ cymbals and synthesised bass-lines.

Today’s house music still consists of these core elements, but styles have varied ranging from soulful and deep house to micro house, euro house, tech house and electro house with a new wave of success arriving through progressive house. Today house music remains popular in clubs and in mainstream pop music, largely due to the volume of house DJs who strived continually to promote it in the underground clubs and gave it a strong foothold throughout the globe. 1.
