A party without music is nearly impossible, but not just any music will make your gathering a hit! You need the right hip-hop music to rock your world and get your guests on the dance floor.
Initially, it all started with House music. House music gained popularity in the early 1980s, around the same time when early hip-hop was emerging. Discos began playing it in Latin and African American communities. Since things with universal appeal don’t usually take long to spread, the genre also quickly reached Europe, starting from Chicago, where it originated. There has been much debate about how the name “House” came to be – some believe it was due to the “warehouse” influence because the music was played hard and often, or because artists made the music on their own, in their homes. However, there is no definitive answer.
Several years later, this music merged with popular themes to create Hip House music. These are the tunes people dance to, and the genre remains a favorite among the youth today. One of the most fascinating cultural mixes can be seen in its emergence, as the first track of the genre was recorded by Beat Masters Productions (U.K.) and Cookie Crew called “Rock da House” (the video is available on YouTube under the name Beat Master & Cookie Crew – Rock da House). However, the journey has not been easy, neither for the artists nor the genre. The creators of the first recorded track faced challenges when Tyree Cooper released “Turn up the Bass” in 1989, which was considered the first mix-genre record.
There have been numerous stories claiming the top position in the genre, while on the other hand, critics did not recognize the style as music. They labeled it as “just another disco theme,” much to the disappointment of avid fans.
Logically speaking, hip-house is too modern to be easily dismissed. What began as warehouse hip-hop music has made a comfortable transition to club music with rap-rock beats that get people on the dance floor – moving, shouting, and cheering. From the soul and funk origins that inspired the genre, what we have today are electro-house crossovers, featuring bassline pulses and electronic drums. Try listening; the reverberation has practically reached your feet!
