HOUSE MUSIC - What is House Music?

Trax Records and Dj International Records.

Out of all the labels to come of Chicago. 2 will surely stick in your mind. Trax and Dj International records. I'm right aren't I?

"Music is the Key, "It's Allright", "Move Your Body", "Choice Of a New Generation", Time to Jack", "Yo Yo Get Funky" "Jack Your Body" "Runaway Girl", "Promised Land" Baby Wants To Ride'? 'Washing Machine'? "Can U Feel It?" 'House Nation", "Acid Trax", Your Love'? "U Used To Hold Me"

.All of them Trax and Dj International Record hit releases. What's more they have introduced to us some the worlds greatest, house music's innovators such as:Larry Heard, Marshall Jefferson, Frankie Knuckles, Steve "Silk" Hurley

Other Chicago's house artists over the years comes to mind here as well such as Liddell Townsend, Robert Owens, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Mr Lee, Adonis, Fast Eddie and Ralphie Rosario. And they did it all by releasing records that sounded like they'd been pressed on sandpaper!

House music from some of the titles that I have mentioned above took on the same cultural role as Hip Hop music and culture did within New York. You could say that within 1983 onwards, Chicago and its music of House was just as important for its young people and followers of the music, as it was for New York and its music which was HipHop and Rap.

Both music's constituency were both poor and black. Both music energy levels came from local Djs competing against each other. Each music's development arose out of each producer always thinking that he or she could do better at what the next guy or gay had just produced.

Just as Rap and Hip Hop music went about its ways of making new singles through old discarded Funk, Disco and Soul Records via stealing basslines and drum patterns.

So it was the same with House music. House music stole in the same way that Hiphop music did for the creation new tune/s.
