House music has been described as a very rhythmically based
electronic or synthesized music that uses a continuous, repeating
(usually also electronically generated) 4/4 bassline. Typically
added to this foundation are electronically generated sounds and
samples of music such as jazz, blues and synth pop, as well as
additional percussion.
Your humble dj knows that this definition just doesn't really
capture the essence of the musical genre. Rather, anyone who
really understands house music knows that "House is a
Feeling."
