While the mainstream deemed Disco soul-less, mechanistic and out of fashion, Chicago DJs Frankie Knuckles, Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, Jesse Saunders, Steve "Silk" Hurley and Ron Hardy pioneered a resurrection of Disco by magnifying the very qualities that some found most offensive: synthetic textures, inorganic repetitions, and disembodied vocals. Defined by four-on-the-floor beats, rasping hi-hats, artificial hand claps, bass loops and drum rolls, house drew inspiration from jazz, rap, soul, R&B, synth pop, and dub reggae, and has spread globally since its birth. As much as it draws from disparate sources, house has splintered into many different sub-styles, merging with ambient, tribal and other musical movements.Houseen720Sun, 29 Nov 2009 09:01:52 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=g.135&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Fhouse%2Fmusic-videos.rss House emerged from the fog of Disco-phobia in the early 1980s.
