Introduction of House Music

House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the 1980s in Chicago, Illinois. It is characterized by its use of a four-on-the-floor beat, synthesizers, and electronic drum machines, as well as prominent basslines and vocals that often feature repetitive phrases and a strong emphasis on rhythm. House music is often associated with the club scene and has been popularized by DJs and producers who create and play the music at clubs and other venues around the world. It has also been influential in the development of other electronic dance music genres such as techno, trance, and garage.

Anton Kling Interview on Nagamag

.


Nagamag:
Which are the genres that describe your music style better?

Anton Kling:
Melodic, Organic, Progressive, Minimal with a lofi touch


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Anton Kling:
I started in a music program called E-jay when I was 8 years old, then when I was 12 I started making music in fl-studio and when I was 16 I started in Ableton live where I create music these days. I have been making music since I was very young but I started to take it more seriously in the last 6 years.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Anton Kling:
I don't remember the first connection with music because there has always been music played at my house when I was young. I remember when my dad showed me Kraftwerk for the first time and I was in awe. But the biggest thing has to be when I discovered Daft Punk at a very you age. I sat on our computer in the early days of the internet and found their music and that just changed everything. I just couldn't stop listening to them, all they did was so new and interesting for my ears. I guess that was when I truly fell in love with electronic music.


Nagamag:
Many artists listen to genres that they are not producing music for. Which track is your favorite that is NOT similar to yours?

Anton Kling:
Red Hot Chilipeppers "Californication"


Nagamag:

Doppe & Kokke Interview on Nagamag

.


Nagamag:
Which are the genres that describe your music style better?

Doppe & Kokke:
We are definitely in the area of house music, in particular tropical house, and EDM. But we don't want to limit ourselves. We have a couple of chillstep tracks on the way also. We love a good melody that you can go and whistle on for a long time after hearing the track.


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Doppe & Kokke:
We have always been interested in music but never taken the step to produce our own. Our original careers are in a very different area. At least once per year we go on a road trip around Europe and we prepare for weeks before to have the right playlists to set the mood in the car. The last year we have not been able to go on a trip, but we missed it and the good music, so we decided it was time to produce some of our own beats that we can listen to when the lockdown is over.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Doppe & Kokke:
The last years from maybe where Avicii, Kygo and similar DJs started to breakthrough I think we found a genre that was more appealing for both of us. We have always liked electronic music, but adding a great singer and making awesome melodies talks to us.


Nagamag:
What is your next project?

Doppe & Kokke:
We have a few new tracks in the making, but we are not stressing them. Without revealing too much one of them we are especially fond of which is a kind of mix of tropical house and RNB beats. We are currently working with a great singer and when she is ready I believe we have the next hit song ready.


Nagamag:
Many artists listen to genres that they are not producing music for. Which track is your favorite that is NOT similar to yours?

Doppe & Kokke:
Doppe: Jan Hammer Kokke: Gary Moore Doppe: "Miami Vice Theme" Kokke: "The Loner"


Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which is the track from a similar artist you admire?

Doppe & Kokke:
Ehrling "Sthlm Sunset"

Some House subgenres

There are many subgenres of house music, each with its own unique characteristics and influences. Some common subgenres of house music include:

Deep house: A subgenre of house that originated in the 1980s and is characterized by its use of complex chord structures, smooth basslines, and a relaxed, atmospheric sound.

Tech house: A subgenre of house that combines elements of techno and house music and is characterized by its use of intricate, percussive rhythms and a strong emphasis on production techniques.

Acid house: A subgenre of house that originated in the 1980s and is characterized by its use of the Roland TB-303 synthesizer, which produces a distinctive, squelchy sound known as the “acid” sound.

Tribal house: A subgenre of house that originated in the 1990s and is characterized by its use of percussion-heavy rhythms and a strong tribal influence.

Electro house: A subgenre of house that originated in the 2000s and is characterized by its use of electronic and synthesized sounds, as well as heavy basslines and a fast tempo.

Chicago house: A subgenre of house that originated in Chicago, Illinois and is characterized by its use of a four-on-the-floor beat, electronic drum machines, and synthesizers.

Funky house: A subgenre of house that combines elements of funk, soul, and disco with a four-on-the-floor beat and electronic production techniques.

Minimal house: A subgenre of house that originated in the 2000s and is characterized by its use of stripped-back, minimalist production techniques and a focus on subtle changes in sound and rhythm.

Ghetto house: A subgenre of house that originated in Chicago and is characterized by its use of raw, stripped-back production techniques and a focus on bass-heavy, percussive rhythms.

These are just a few examples of the many subgenres of house music that exist. Many house producers and DJs draw from a wide range of influences when creating their music, and the lines between different subgenres can be blurry at times.

The most used instruments in House Music

In house music, electronic instruments and production techniques are often used to create the distinctive sound of the genre. Some common electronic instruments and equipment that are used in the production of house music include:

Synthesizers: House music often makes use of synthesizers to create a wide range of electronic sounds, including basslines, melodies, and percussion.

Drum machines: House music often makes use of drum machines to create the characteristic four-on-the-floor beat that is a hallmark of the genre.

Samplers: House music producers often use samplers to manipulate and incorporate sounds from other sources, such as vocals, percussion, or other instrumentation, into their tracks.

Digital audio workstations (DAWs): House music producers often use digital audio workstations to create, edit, and arrange their tracks.

DJ controllers: House music DJs often use DJ controllers to mix and manipulate tracks in real-time.

Effects processors: House music producers and DJs often use effects processors, such as reverb, delay, and filters, to shape the sound of their tracks.

Vocals: vocals are often used in house music. In many cases, vocals are used to provide a catchy, repetitive phrase or hook that helps to drive the rhythm of the track and create a memorable listening experience. House music vocals are often processed with effects such as reverb, delay, and filtering to give them a distinctive sound. In some cases, house music producers will sample vocals from other sources, such as classic soul or disco tracks, and incorporate them into their own tracks. House music vocals can be performed by a solo artist or a group, and can be sung or spoken in a variety of styles. The lyrics in house music can vary widely depending on the specific track and the artist who created it. Some house music tracks may have lyrics that focus on themes such as love, relationships, or personal experiences, while others may have more abstract or spiritual themes. In some cases, the lyrics of a house music track may be secondary to the overall atmosphere or groove of the track, and may be used more as a means of creating a particular mood or feeling rather than conveying a specific message. In other cases, the lyrics of a house music track may be more prominent and may be used to convey a specific message or theme. Ultimately, the meaning of the lyrics in a house music track will depend on the specific artist and the context in which the track was created.

In addition to these electronic instruments, some house music producers and DJs may also incorporate live instrumentation, such as keyboards, drums, or guitar, into their tracks.
