UK hard house
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UK Hard House or simply Hard House (not to be confused with Chicago hard house) is a style of House music that emerged in the 1990s. Tony De Vit (1957 to 1998) was one of the pioneers of the hard house sound in the early 90's, playing a harder, louder, faster style of dance music. The hard house scene grew in popularity throughout the 90's with Trade and Chuff Chuff being joined by several other large club nights e.g. Sundissential, Insomniacz, Slinky and many more.
Hard house is typified by a set formula of up-tempo compressed kick drums, signature style off-beat basslines and the use of 'hoover' type sounds. In contempt of the name it shares very little part in style with house music, but borrows elements heavily from trance music (trancy synths and sometimes breakdown formula), and hardcore/rave music (hoover sounds, chants sometimes). Generally, hard house is part of a wider group of styles called hard dance and has little in common with the modern trance or house scenes.
