News : House Music Has Become A Global Phenomenon
About five years ago, one of my best friends introduced me to David Guetta, who has since become the ringleader for the house music phenomenon sweeping across the world.

He saw house music as a way to bring urban and white culture together under one roof. Now signed to EMI Virgin Records, Guetta has proven that house music is here to stay.
Back in the early 1980s, Chicago club and radio DJ’s were playing various styles of dance and disco music. In the mid 1980s and 1990s, house music became a major fixation on the UK music charts.

Young people are now more interested in the chorus and beat of a song over the words, something that house music has capitalized on. They grew up with hip-hop music with loud bass and house music is a natural progression for them.
Technology has had a profound impact on house music in a few ways. First, DJ’s have been able to easily download programs that already have beats and vocals so they’re able to create music cheaper and more efficiently.

Finally, social media has allowed these artists to create global fan bases, where they can market themselves, their albums and their concerts. (Read More)
