House has become one of the most popular forms of electronic music since its inception in the late 80’s.
It began in Chicago, when local DJ’s and music producers experimented with remixing disco vocals over hard hitting drum machines. They would soon play a huge role in popularizing the sound and distinguishing house music as a global music genre.
Chicago gospel singer, Loleatta Halloway, is one of the most widely sampled artists in house music history. Her song “Love Sensation” has been sampled nearly 300 times, including on Black Box’s “Ride on Time”, the notorious hit that became the best selling single in the U.K in 1989.

One of the worst things about House was that the real vocal talents were systematically ignored from Loletta to the unfairly treated Martha Wash. They were denied royalties, fame and recognition.

Pop Land And that’s the biggest reason House died in Chicago. People weren’t getting paid, contracts were never made, And London was stealing the fire quickly as they could. Many years ago I was talking to this guy and he said house music started in the UK. I had to set him straight...

One of the key figures in House Music, Benji Espinoza, passed away about a month ago in October. He was the co-founder of DJ International Records along with Rocky Jones. Next to the DJ's who were playing and producing the tracks, Benji was the one actually getting this music in the hands of those people by his means of distribution. While I only met him once, he taught me more in a day than I could have learned anywhere else. His character and personality were something not found in everyday life.

Something that hasn't been touched upon by Earworm yet, is those golden years of Boogie - those binding years between Disco and House, the early to mid-80's, where a lot of the technology that came to define House was created and refined. The entire Paradise Garage scene, Francois K and the early innovators of remixing techniques, originally developed through the Dub scene in Jamaica... It'd make for an interesting episode! That said, you folks at Vox are doing an amazing job at giving us some of the very best content available on YT. Cheers!

How did I miss this episode? I'm am a passionate lover of house music and this episode was great! It's so good, I wish it was longer so it could talk about more about how much house was an impact on the world from 1989 - 1998 at least. For example, video games were incorporating that house style in their music and it was pure bliss.

Man, what I'd give to have my teens growing up in the 90s. Got mad respect for it, from this it then stemmed the Big Beat and the like. The diverse transition into British Jungle in the 90s feeding into today's Drum and Bass scene. The UK really was popping off at this time. I find myself sinking endless hours into illegal rave videos from the 90s. From warehouse raves in Brighton to fields in Cambridge, Old office blocks in London and abandoned quarries man it looked awesome.

It's kind of fascinating to see how house took a life of its own in Europe. For example, it became techno in Germany and techno is now a quintessential part of the German experience yet it was originally started in Chicago by African Americans. It's also so strange to think that now we have subcategories like "afro house" when it wouldn't be a strech to call all house "afro house" since it started in the US Afro community. While I do recognize that the name "afro house" is useful since it's a genre that is more heavily influenced by continental African music, I just wish the world would know better about house music's origins. I feel like house and its offshoots are often seen as genres which are appealing to a predominantly white audience these days but history tells another story. In the end music is music and it brings people together. But videos like these are necessary and help put things into perspective.

Techno (the more robotic, artificial, and dystopian form of house, lacking the soulful vibes that were popular in Chicago) was essentially invented by the Belleville Three (Atkins, May, Saunderson) in suburban Detroit, but the European version was heavily influenced by musicians in Northern England (e.g. Warp Records in Sheffield) and Belgium. The Belgian techno of '88-'89 was particularly influential in continental Europe (especially Germany). Ironically, the Detroit techno pioneers had been influenced by Kraftwerk.

It's really interesting to learn of the history that make songs come to be through the process of sampling. I know the sample of Sweet Sensation from Chase N Status's Blind Faith, and this video explains what the music video for that song is all about. Where that one song reminds me of college days, could mean something complete different to another. As always, amazing stuff! 🙌🏾

Interesting! It explains why, everytime I went to Italy and Spain for work, during the early 2000's I always saw how ubiquitous House was there. Coming from Brazil, we had many other very different musical genres. It just makes me think that, with Italian House playing such an important role in Europe, or at least in these two countries, they have a strong heritage to rely on, something that i didnt know about, the first times I went there.

The way this video is presented, it's as if it was just Chicago and Italy, and that's not true. They were proponents, but you can't exclude New York.

8:46 No wonder why early Italian house music was also known as Piano House; the rise of Italo House also signalled the beginning of the transition from Italo Disco to Eurodance, another genre in which Italian producers will have a considerable influence over. And speaking of Italo House, a personal favourite of mine is Double Dee's Found Love.

I know theres some official story out there about how House was named "House music" but one time I was on shrooms, listening to House music and the insight I got was its the sound of the loud houses those of the innercity lived in. Sisters and brothers arguing, mom and dad yelling, sirens in the street etc but instead of the negative energy that can from these loud moments in our house, house music turned it into a positive symphony of loudness that gets you lost in the music. If you ever find yourself in a "loud" home, parents or spouses arguing or those rough thanksgivings when people aren't getting along -- turn on some House music. I guarantee you will see exactly what I'm talking about! (and before someone does it, I repeat, this is from my insight, not historical fact-- I know the official story is completely different.)

Interestingly, not unlike Disco, House music was enjoyable to listen to outside of the clubs. I attribute this to the fact that there was still a lot of soul in House music. In fact some early House music was created and performed by full on bands, it wasn't all samples and drum machines.

I loved this and found it very informative! I wasn't aware of the Italo-disco influence in the beginning stages of house. Thank you again, love content like this!

I’ve been waiting like a year for you guys to make this video good job! I live in Chicago and wrote a speech about this in college, everyone was super shocked and had no idea house music and modern EDM started right here in Chi-Town.

How are you not referencing “Love can’t turn around “? Every single element of pure house, with Daryl Pandy’s amazing, gospel/operatic vocals!

Great video but two big corrections: 1:35 - that's not Manchester, that's Liverpool. 11:04 - the song it's transitioning to isn't Shame, it's 'Feel the Drive / Watch Out!' by Doctor's Cat, a different Italo Disco group.

Came here to say the same, I didn't hear Shame at all

What version of "Feel the Drive" is this? I never heard these vocals "get ready or come back home"?
Jack Starr 4 yıl önce
@Bâlearique it's the intro of feel the drive mixed into their other song 'watch out'

In the mix 'Shame' is actually the song after 'Watch Out' not heard in the video here but probably tracklist is missing 'Watch Out' so they made an honest mistake.

Thank you for making this video! I love house so much. It has been a part of my family's lives for a long time. We would listen to house almost every weekend to celebrate. I actually have uploaded one of my favorite house music mixes on my channel and if you choose to listen to it, I hope you enjoy it.

12:04 Vox should really do a mini documentary on DC gogo music. Out of the 3 genres mentioned in this timecode, gogo is easily the least known internationally. I'm from UK and discovered gogo thanks to the internet. To anyone interested, DC gogo is very similar to the early hip hop from the 80's but is performed with live instruments.

Easily one of my favorite series running on TRshow. I love house music and have never known about any of this in such detail. Thank you

This was really cool to see the link between disco and house music. I think a great follow up to this would be to explicitly talk about how Black LGBT culture in Chicago contributed to house music.

yeah, disappointed that wasn't talked about all in the video

Not just black but latino! We were there at the beginning shaping the music as well

Yeah they fully ignore the fact its creation was very linked to LGBT people. They show it's from Chicago and show many black creators but avoid to discuss the rest.

Detroit's Techno scene was huge in the 90's and hit its peak every year at the Electronic Music Festival. Lots of internationally known DJ's cut their teeth there and early 2000's EDM DJ's were heavily influenced by it. But Techno as a genre hasn't had the longevity of House, at least not in the U.S.

As a little kid living in Chicago in the 90's I use to hear my uncle DJ in his room to this music all the time. I had no idea house came from the city.
