                     House


     In the mid-80's in Chicago, a new type of
dance music - house. He just appeared.
Ten years later, he seems normal and
usual, but then it really was
new. This music was created for dancing and
It is supported by new
electronic musical instruments. Then she
was underground and attracted the most
cutting-edge trendsetters. Some
records of those times still sound interesting
modern, while others, on the contrary, it sat in the
Bose, and no more about them does not remember.
The name comes from the club's Warehouse (warehouse).
That's where the Chicago DJs for the first time
tried to mix singles Kraftwerk
sound radically new for that time
device called a drum machine. They
appealed to the traditions of the underground and the best
modern tracks still sound somewhat
"Underground", perhaps also because of the quality
record. The roots of this music - disco. Characteristic
is the rhythm of disco, swing sound
catchy melodies and a general feeling of joy and
fun. In a word - music for happy.
Structure of classical Hausa is quite simple:
Standard size 4 / 4 and not a very fast pace
(Around 120BPM). On the second and fourth quarter
usually gets "solo" or cable power lines, each
sixteenth share sounds hat (in the interval between
bas.bochkoy). Hausovye tracks, as a rule,
filled with bright and beautiful passages,
major chord and simple, but
catchy melodies. The roots of the style come from
such music as disco and soul.


                     Garage


    While the Chicago DJs
experimenting with a drum machine in New York
DJs in the walls of the club Paradise Garage under
the leadership of Larry Levan gave birth to another, not
inferior to the House's popularity on the dance floor
area - garage (under the name of the club).
A great contribution to build a garage made
and musicians from New Jersey. In the courtyard stood
mid-eighties.

     Garage - it's a deep club music with
roots in rhythm and blues. Often the music garage
constructed as follows: the second and
fourth quarter is cable power lines, hat into eighths
notes and chords, or expressive of the topic at
piano, as well as swing or gospel.vokal for
emotionality. The brightest representatives:
Rosie Gaines, Ce Ce Peniston, as well as
prima donna of the British Branch of the garage - Ultra
Nate.


                  Speed ​​Garage


     1996 and especially 1997 were a time of
birth and the active proliferation of speed-garage in
musical world. First, the United States,
The country then techno underground - England and
soon the whole world is moving to the beat
speed-garage. It is clear that
speed-garage in the beginning became associated with the
a new birth of American traditional hausmuzyki. These musicians 
and remixers like Todd Terry, Mousse T, Mood II Swing, Boris 
Dlugosch, Todd Edwards, brought the new sound of music

garage, which like to call it speed-garage.
However, there is another branch, and much more
specific and interesting to us - it's style,
pioneered, according to the good old
Armand van Helden. Cold spring 1997
gave us a remix of the Sneaker Pimps "Spin Spin
Sugar ". This was the beginning of a specific
Pilot Hausa, which is of
Pilot quickly grew into a powerful
dance movement, rightly called fashionable
buzzword speed-garage.

     Characterizing feature - the bass line
literally occupying the forefront of musical
images and defining the vigorous pumping rhythm and
the atmosphere on the dance floor, and thanks to this
line speed-garage rapidly populyaziruetsya
around the world. By the way, is probably why
some call speed-garage "dance
mixture of Hausa and jungle. "Singing more
e-mail than in the garage (processed by the vocoder
and other filters). Another feature
speed-garage - it's numerous and / or
lengthy sections in which there is no
bits, and which are sometimes a prelude to the second
part of the composition, forcing the dancers
energize the growing wave perebivki and
charged atmosphere on the dance floor).

     Speed ​​Garage is a great club
danceable hybrid of old and new and already
now little domestic assaults
tatspoly, but very sluggish due to the most characteristic
traits of our people - the excessive conservatism
to dance music.

     Camye highly visible examples: Mousse T,
Armand van Helden, Todd Terry, Double 99,
Ultra Nate, 187 Lockdown, Serious Danger.


                   Deep House


     "Deep House" - a style that appeared on
the junction of the "old" Chicago Hausa and gospel music.
Filled with tunes that were built on the old (and
Loved by all) chord progressions played
ghost sound elektroorgana. Deep House - this is
first house, and only then - deep
sounding instruments.


                   Acid House


     The second generation of Chicago
experimenting with more psychedelic
sound somewhat accelerated synthesizer
Roland TB303. This tool is
cult, it is his acid house owes its
unusually warm, "funky" sound.
Differs from other house higher rate
and the lack of vocals. Probably "Acid anthem"
are the acid tracks by Phuture. In the
the late eighties, this style goes into a deep
underground to create new styles -
very very fast, hardcore, acid dip,
somnolent consciousness (but not the legs) of trans and Gabby -
very, very, very fast derivative hardcore
(Over 200 beats per minute).


                     Trance


     It's somewhere between ambient and
acid house. Trans much safer for
eardrums than any b% e-., but under
is perfect for dancing. The purpose of this music -
move you into other worlds through
movement. Plastic, clear, very
"Space", Trans rarely overcomes the mark
"150 bpm" (150 beats per minute).


             Goa, Psyhedelic Trance


     The term "Goa" originally referred to
certain style of music played in
region of India called Goa. It is not necessary
think that it originated from ancient times and was
developed by indigenous people of this district. On
Indeed music goa created and create
Europeans, inspired by ancient Indian
culture and philosophy.

     Not all people, declaring their music as
goa.trens actually make Goa. Many of
They have never been to India and did not know her
traditions and history. Nevertheless, they are trying to
operated stamps, which, in their opinion,
allegedly belong precisely to goa.trensu. So
eliminate errors, immediately say, that for
kind of music specially introduced such
definition, as "psychedelic trance" or
"Psyche.trance", since it is closer to
truth. It is believed that the psychedelic trance in
Europe originates from the British Isles
from where it spread to Germany, Holland,
Denmark and other Western European countries. Some
time later, he appeared in America.

     How does sound goa.trens? Here, almost
No thumps bas.bochki which is so characteristic
for hard.trensa and Hausa. Everything is very soft,
harmoniously and smoothly. On the other hand,
feature is psychedelic
trance versions (including Goa) are
dynamic and constantly gurgling
transforming analog synth
line superimposed on each other. This effect
allows you to create a very sophisticated musical
fabric of harmonic lines, which, of course,
impact on human perception
such music.

     As mentioned above, Goa and
psychedelic.trens have almost no heavy bass
except for those tracks where to build
mental atmospheric sound has been processed
equalizer, and in some places
tapped sub.basovye surge. This
approach to sound gives the feeling of lightness and
flight, which is very conducive to both
passive and active meditation (eg,
dance).

     In contrast, house, techno, and breykbita
other styles of electronic dance music
psychedelic trance is under a great
esoteric basis. It's not naked
dance style, and the people that create trance
this kind, not just write music. If you
trensovuyu see any compilation, the
likely to find hundreds of references to ideas,
characteristic of Buddhism, Hinduism and other
Eastern religious movements, as well as ideas
professed admirers nyu.eydzha. This
a solid spiritual and conceptual basis has
yet except for some ambient
branches.

     Often, getting to know the names of tracks,
Yes, and the names /`.%* b. ", playing
psihodelik.trens can meet such
thing as chakra, astral projection,
astral shells and other terms, so
characteristic of the esoteric East. It is these
ideas, concepts and philosophical concepts form
the appropriate approach to writing music. In
the process of human evolution, civilization
absorbs and digests, reinterprets
growing number of scholars drawn from different cultures.
Music is no exception.
The human desire to constantly learn
something mysterious, a new and mysterious
encourages followers of western civilization
refer to the ideas brought up in the East.

     Of course, not all taking place in the world trensovye
activities so conceptual. In many
does play commercial music, under the
that "sausage" underage teens, not
experiencing special needs in the spiritual
cultivation. But do not be surprised
what ever you can get to
party, where before you would go about the people in
long robes, fiddle, and a rosary
enthusiastically chanting "Hare Krishna." Each
yavlyaeniya have different, sometimes even polar
side. It is not necessary with a head dive into everything
that seems unusual, and very, at first glance,
interesting. However, if you treat all
wise, it plays psychedelic
trance can give you many pleasant hours.

     And finally, some names and labels
directly related to the psychedelic
trance: Tip Records (the infinity project,
doof); Symbiosis Records (technossomy, astral
projection); Perfecto Fluoro (the man with no
name); Dragonfly (hallucinogen); Flying Rhino
(Green nuns); Blue ROOM (juno reactor, etnica,
koxbox); Transient (power source, disco
volante).


                   Club House


     It is an offshoot of it in the early 90's when
wave of commercial music has swept Europe.
As well as in the 80's disco club called typical
music in the 90's formed the direction
MDM for the sole purpose was to get people
dance (read: eat this kind of music).
Simply put, the foundation has remained the same as it was
described at the beginning of this narrative, but
removed all discordant melody
combination of vocals has become more "sweet"
"Difficult" for the perception of ordinary listeners
syncope were also dropped. As a result,
turned unpretentious and accessible music with
unpretentious rhythm and a simple arrangement.
Some species such music has
known handbag (name came from a kind of
dance, which will perform on the dance floor small
girls around their rucksacks).

     The most interesting form of club Hausa
can be regarded as mellow, which uses
pure relaxation and the corresponding bit
sounds.


               Progressive House


     Progressive - a kind of Hausa.
Full name - Progressive House. Appeared
this music in recent years. Characterized
the presence of a pretty groovy tunes and ab
! (+ Lk, a bit of 120 - 130 bpm. Why
Progressive - nobody knows, just a
from music magazines tried to allocate this
sound. Probably lies in the progressive
return to the traditions of stable bits and
melodious Hausa. Whatever it was progressive
Today is probably the most popular at our
dancing music, however, and most commercial.
Progressive - the style of most dance
Projects popular European performers -
Quicksilver, Sash, Red5, Brooklyn Bounce, etc.
Especially can be distinguished Italian interpretation
progressivity - the so-called Dream House, he
same Mediterranean Progressive / Mediterranean
Progressive /, submitted by Gigi d'Agostino,
Robert Miles and others


                  French House


    French house - is basically the same house
(There is a classic sound hausovy)
but here and added elements from other
styles of contemporary electronic music. Typical
representative of the french house is the French
Team daft punk, music which combines
elements of the Hausa and techno.


                     Techno


     The term technology is used for large
number of types of electronic music. Special,
netantsevalny aspect can be found in
separate the direction of techno - ambient, on the track
label WARP. Another view of many styles -
Detroit techno. Like the House, the original
technology is characterized by four quarters 1 2 3 4.
It is somewhat faster than the House (126-130 BPM) and
does not always contain the disco claps. Minimum
techno - just the rhythm and a little sound. Techno -
edge of dance music that has the
same rhythmic foundations that other types of
Hausa, but uses a more intense
synth samples. There are many
variations on this theme. Heavy version, known
as rave and trance, faster version - Gabba
(Dutch genre).


                 Detroit Techno


    Around 1987, in Detroit - City and Motown
P-funk was to create a futuristic direction
music. DJ played his own music in
clubs. Then it was different music, but now
it sounds like. Experts say it is -
Alloy American P-funk and European
synthesizer music (New Order and Kraftwerk).
Proprietary ingredient Detroit techno
a "naked" funky sound of analog
synthesizer, and, most importantly, uhayuschy,
dolbyaschy rhythm. No vocals and
podpevok. However, the revolutionary thing in the
Detroit techno - is sanctioned by the rhythms, almost
polymorphic. Although it is - not a formal
polyrhythm in African tribal
drum music: techno detroytkoe - more
simple music and often uses third place
quarters. Three heroes of Detroit techno - it's
Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May.
The last of these, the most orthodox and
heroic. Derrick May has written, for example, The
Dance. Quick dishes, normal speed
drum (breykbit), as well as strings and
rhythmic tone line. Leading `(b,
encounters with others in the Renaissance
polyrhythm. Juan Atkins was still producing
music, combining it with the rhythm of the jungle. Kevin
Saunderson was the most popular in the creation of
Music on the verge of Hausa.


                    Hardcore


     This is a terrible speed music. Strikes
hammer on the head with speeds ranging from 150 to 220
beats per minute. Experts say that if
listen to this music long enough, there is
feeling that the world has become a huge
chainsaw. Hardcore - it's just accelerating techno
Plus snippets of famous songs, which are
resulting sound as though someone had switched the
speed the player with a 33 to 45 revolutions per
minute. Sometimes it seems that this is just an old
good speed-metal, but techno-beats in
as a lining. But it just seems ...


                    Trip-hop


     Trip-hop refers to netantsevalnoy
electronic music - while the bottom of this
Style (1994), people called him dance on
chair. Very slow and sometimes depressing
music, broken rhythms and a very dark text -
So goes the band Portishead, listening to you
easiest way to get an idea about this
style. Since the pace was medlenennym (below 120
beats per minute) was told that it is not
suited for the dancefloor. Whoever heard of Bristol
Sound, agree with that, but if you classifies
Chemical Brothers to the trip-hop, it is absolutely
not true. Chemical Brothers - Best
dance music.


                 Bristol Sound


     Special mention should be made of trip-hop
from Bristol: Massive Attack, Portishead and
Tricky. Massive Attack were the first to trip-hop
in 1991: slow bits, based on
hip-hop, reggae, and combined with excellent
sound. Popular hit was Unfinished
Sympathy by Massive Attack.


            Big beats / Siren Dance


     Overall this music thing - a special
use of electronics, which creates
typical sound. And very heavy. The sound of "Jimi
Hendrix ", like a siren, combined with
heavy break-beat. This is a combination of funk
hip-hop, rock and swing power Hausa. Better
dance than listen: no sirens on the chair
sirens on the dancefloor. Siren - an alarm in
Fog, as well as a seductive woman. Dance
Sirens - a lot of noise. The logs are usually
called big-beat or chemical beats.


                 Chemical beats


     First, listen to Leave Home - Anthem
big-beat from the founders: Chemical Brothers (or
as I call them: Brothers Mendeleev). You hear
powerful bass line, and excellent on tech and the
jungle and break beat 2 January 1933 4 with an emphasis on
first cotton. This bit is pushing you to the dance;
just have to listen to something else. Rhythms - more
or at least trip-hop to use
Break-beat, going from hip-hop, James
Brown and Meat Beat Manifesto. This track -
starting point of a new genre.


              Jungle / Drum'n'bass


     Dizzyingly fast music with eerie complex
rhythm and strongly twisted bass line
instruments. Why the "jungle"? This music
built on the rhythm, and the most complex rhythm, as
is known, is found in Africa. Appeared in the jungle
London. He also called drum-n-Bass
because the drum and bass is very typical for
this music. Listen Timeless by Goldie -
Classic track 1995: 21 minutes of music.
Drum and bass in general is often used in
dance music, rock and pop music. So
the name is probably too general, in order
to refer to this somewhat arrogant
style. There is also a third element, which
is characteristic of the drum and bass - is
strings. Three ingredients jungle. Firstly,
strings (no violins, but some
long e sound, which
also includes wind instruments). Listen
LTJ Bukem: he gave this opening sounds
more pastoral character. This air,
oriented in space. Next - Bass
line. It is very different from the direct bass
Hausa. Feel the influence of reggae. Bass line
floats. She is not swinging like a heavyweight club
House (Gabba or hardcore), and it floats.
The third and most obvious element - the drum. That -
Fast break beat. The drums are different from the Hausa
and the rate and samples. House - 120 beats per
minute jungle - much faster. Sample Hausa -
1 2 3 4, while the break beat jungle -
something like 1 February 1933 4. There are additional
claps between 3 and 4. In most tracks,
There is only one rhythm, and if there is more
a loud and fast break beat jungle
overlaps the other. And all together for at
less than seven minutes. Add the cries of birds. Also
characterized by a moment of silence, after which
sound again continues. This becomes
fun, once you get used (which
may take some time).


                    Ambient


     In English this word means something like
"Washing, wrapping on all sides."
Ambient music akin to the soporific gas. Quiet
rustle, squeaks, groans, whistles far
locomotives and flapping wings of bats.
No drums and singing. Add a little here
Pink Floydovskogo "Dark Side Of The Moon",
spiced with a host of modern
sound effects and treatments. Dance is not
fits. This is an electronic experimental
music, perfect for listening at home. In
As an example, I advise listening
Orbital tracks for 1996.


                     Gabber


     Gabba - a musical style that became
very popular in the last five years
Holland. Gabba - is one of many
styles originating from the same sound,
which is a native of Detroit. Most
these styles is based on the original sound.
For example Mallow, hardcore, hardtrans etc. Gabba
- The worst of them. With deep bass,
uhayuschem in very great pace, very often
clapping and repeating samples. This is one of the most
fast music in the world today (more than
200bpm). Many people come to the grandiose
parties enjoy the music and meet with
Gabby other fans, and not only in
Holland. Largest organizer - "ID'T"
conducts an annual set of Gabby shares
Western Europe. Want to hear the real Gabby
- Come to Europe.
