Garage house

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Garage House (also known as New York House ) is a style of house music.

features

Garage House is a vocal-heavy house genre with lots of gospel and soul-based vocal passages. The soul elements were influenced by Philly Soul , which has a speed of around 120 beats per minute . Garage House continues to be characterized by a broad bassline repertoire and frequent hi-hat use. Garage House sounds clearly more soul and disco influenced than Chicago House , which, on the other hand, has significantly more funk influences.

history

After Chicago , House soon infected New York . Disco lived on in the predominantly black gay scene after the commercial sell-out . The time of the twenty- piece disco orchestras such as B. the Salsoul Orchestra was over, they were slowly being replaced by synthesizers . In 1982, DJ Larry Levan mixed underground classics like Don't Make Me Wait (from his own project NYC Peech Boys), Keep On (from D-Train), Moody (from ESG) and Thanks To for hours in the legendary Paradise Garage in New York You (by Sinnamon, in a wild fifteen minute remix by Shep Pettibone ). A new style was born. At first it was called Garage Disco because of its strong disco influence, and later it was called Garage House. Garage House was sometimes referred to as Jersey Sound, as many producers and DJs came from New Jersey . Levan played in the Paradise Garage until it closed in 1987 .

The style influences commercial pop music, especially dance pop to this day. In Great Britain , at the end of the 1990s, intersections of garage house, which is now more influenced by R'n'B , and local breakbeat and drum-and-bass music emerged (from 1997 Speed ​​Garage and as a successor from 2000 2 Step and Two Step Garage), which only found a larger audience there.
