FAQ

Where does house music come from?
House emerged in Chicago in the early 80s and is named after the club The Warehouse, where Frankie Knuckles played. DJs and producers combined disco with drum machines such as the Roland TR-808 and TR-909, leading to styles like acid house, deep house and garage house.

Which house classics should you own on vinyl?
Among the most important are Phuture "Acid Tracks", Inner City "Good Life", A Guy Called Gerald "Voodoo Ray", Daft Punk "Homework" and Moodymann "Amerika". Our top 10 with background is in the guide Techno & House on Vinyl.

What is the difference between house and techno?
House comes from Chicago, has its roots in disco and soul and sounds warmer, often with vocals. Techno comes from Detroit and sounds cooler and more machine-like, with fewer vocals and more repetition. The lines are blurred, and many records sit right in between.

What is acid house?
Acid house is built on the squelchy, bubbling sound of the Roland TB-303. It started with Phuture's "Acid Tracks" in Chicago in 1987, and from 1988 acid house became a huge youth movement in the UK.

What is the difference between deep house and garage house?
Deep house is the slower, more soulful side of house, with warm chords and jazz influences, for example by Larry Heard, Chez Damier or Moodymann. Garage house, named after the New York club Paradise Garage, is more vocal-led, often with gospel influences.
