House is a genre of electronic dance music characterized by a repetitive four-on-the-floor beat and a typical tempo of 120-130 beats per minute as a re-emergence of 1970s disco.[10] It originated in the Black queer community in Chicago.[11] It was created by DJs and music producers from Chicago's underground club culture and evolved slowly in the early/mid 1980s as DJs began altering disco songs to give them a more mechanical beat.[1] By early 1988, House became mainstream and supplanted the typical 80s music beat.[12]
House was created and pioneered by DJs and producers in Chicago such as Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy, Jesse Saunders, Chip E., Joe Smooth, Steve "Silk" Hurley, Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, Marshall Jefferson, Phuture, and others. House music initially expanded internationally, to London, then to other American cities, such as New York City, and ultimately a worldwide phenomenon.[13]
House has a large influence on pop music, especially dance music. It was incorporated into works by major international artists including Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, Kylie Minogue and Lady Gaga, and also produced many mainstream hits such as "Pump Up the Jam" by Technotronic, "French Kiss" by Lil Louis, "Show Me Love" by Robin S., and "Push the Feeling On" by the Nightcrawlers. Many house DJs also did and continue to do remixes for pop artists. House music has remained popular on radio and in clubs while retaining a foothold on the underground scenes across the globe.

Around 1986/7, after the initial explosion of house music in Chicago, it was clear at the time that major record companies were reluctant to market this genre of music, associated with gay African Americans, on a mainstream level. Independent Chicago record labels, however, led the onslaught and kept churning out house music in high numbers. Chicago house artists were also very popular in Europe, chiefly London, but also cities such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Manchester, Milan, Zurich, and Tel Aviv. ... Eventually major labels began signing many Chicago house artists in the late 1980s, as well as artists from Europe and New York City as the genre grew in popularity.
