The House music genre originated from Chicago in the early 80’s and has been phenomenal since then. House music has a religious following all around the world with its electrifying beats that auger well with party life. Originally it was considered as computer generated music, and as this technology continued to be available so did the genre. This type of music is played in night clubs and discos and is complimented by spectacles full of strobes, colored lasers, flash lights and clouds of smoke. Several artists have contributed to the growth and fame of this genre:
