What's the difference?!


Question:

What's the difference?

between Acid house and house music? How is it different to Techno and Dance music?


Answers:

House music is a style of electronic dance music that was developed by dance club DJs in Chicago in the early to mid-1980s. House music is strongly influenced by elements of the late 1970s soul- and funk-infused dance music style of disco. House music takes disco's use of a prominent bass drum on every beat and developed a new style by mixing in a heavy electronic synthesizer bassline, electronic drums, electronic effects, funk and pop samples, and reverb (or delay)-enhanced vocals.

The origins of acid house can be traced back to the 1980s when DJs used the house music that was already popular in Chicago and New York mixed with the “squelch” and bass line of the Roland TB-303 synthesizer. Eventually acid house spread across the Atlantic and arrived in the United Kingdom where it would become the central part of the early rave scene

Techno features an overwhelming feeling of percussive, synthetic sounds, studio effects used as principal instrumentation, and, usually, a regular, 4/4 beat usually with a tempo of 130–140, sometimes faster, but rarely slower. Some techno compositions have strong melodies and bass lines, but these features are not as essential to techno as they are to other dance genres, and it is not uncommon for techno compositions to deemphasize or omit them. Techno is also very DJ-friendly, being mainly instrumental, and produced with the intention of being incorporated into continuous DJ sets wherein different compositions are played with very long, synchronized segues. Although several other dance music genres can be described in such terms, techno has a distinct sound that aficionados can pick out very easily.

Electronic dance music is a style of popular music commonly played in dance music nightclubs, radio stations, shows and raves. The term dance music is usually used for more commercial forms of Electronic dance music. However, both dance music and electronic dance music is made electronically for dancing. Styles include Eurobeat, house, Eurodance, jungle, hip house, trance, techno, funk, garage, and many others
