In the 80s the House Music scene originated in Chicago’s underground clubs, where DJs pioneered the genre by blending disco, soul, and electronic beats. This vibrant scene provided inclusive spaces for marginalized communities, fostering a unique sound characterized by repetitive 4/4 rhythms, drum machines, and synthesized melodies that would eventually spread globally.

In the 90s House Music exploded globally, transitioning from an underground phenomenon to a dominant force in Electronic music and influencing the sound of mainstream Pop. The decade saw the proliferation of numerous subgenres, as musicians blended House’s trademarks with emerging sounds.
