House artists

House music emerged in the early 1980s in Chicago, when DJs decided that people dancing all night long deserved something a bit less than complicated in their earholes. Characterised by repetitive beats, synthesised melodies, and a bassline that could wake the dead, it's the genre that teaches you how to lose yourself whilst unintentionally becoming a connoisseur of 80s vocal samples. It has since spread worldwide, prompting the kind of dance-offs that could make even your Nan do the robot, provided she has the right kind of tea fuelled up.
