House Events This Month in Heraklion

About House

House music originated in the Chicago club scene during the late 1970s and early 1980s, primarily rooted in the underground African American and LGBTQ+ communities. Characterized by a repetitive four-on-the-floor kick drum at a moderate tempo of 115 to 130 BPM, the genre typically features synthesizers, Roland drum machines, and soulful vocal samples. Its hypnotic rhythms and off-beat hi-hat patterns evolved from disco and funk, emphasizing a steady, driving groove designed for continuous dancing and euphoric club atmospheres. As a foundational pillar of modern electronic dance music, house maintains a strong semantic connection to garage and techno while heavily influencing contemporary pop production.
