House music

House music refers to a collection of styles of electronic dance music, the earliest forms beginning in the early- to mid- 1980s. The name derives from the Warehouse club in Chicago, where the resident DJ, Frankie Knuckles, mixed old disco classics and Eurosynth pop. Club regulars referred to his selection of music as "house" music.
