Mixtape: 87-91 The Early Years
The origins of electronic music began in the early 1980′s Chicago- drawing on disco, funk and hip hop as a reference it was a music style encouraged by synthesizer and drum machine innovations. The term ‘house music’ is credited to The Warehouse Club and its DJ Frankie Knuckles. While the music with its 4/4 beat and distinctive kick drum, originated in the US, it was the UK that embraced the sound and pushed into the mainstream with the opening of the Ministry of Sound in London in 1991.The faster speed of house has been more agreeable to Europeans than America, where Hip Hop has prevailed on the dancefloor. Having DJ’ed in both countries, the slower Hip Hop (70-90 BPM’s) was easier to ‘bump and grind’ to while the faster house music (120-135 BPM) resonated everywhere else. Putting on any of the tunes on this mix prior to 2010 in the US would clear the dance floor and lead to an avalanche of angry complaints.
