Házizene

Házizene is a Hungarian term that translates to "house music" in English. It refers to a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the United States in the early 1980s. Key characteristics of house music include a repetitive beat, often at 4/4 time signature, and a tempo typically ranging from 115 to 130 beats per minute.

The genre emerged from disco music, incorporating elements of soul, funk, and electronic sounds. Early pioneers like Frankie Knuckles, Larry Levan, and Marshall Jefferson were instrumental in shaping its sound. House music is characterized by its use of synthesizers, drum machines, and often features vocal samples or spoken word. The music is designed to be danceable and is a staple in nightclubs and raves worldwide.

Over time, house music has diversified into numerous subgenres, including deep house, tech house, progressive house, and acid house, each with its distinct sonic qualities and influences. Despite its evolution, the core elements of rhythm and groove remain central to the genre. Házizene, in its Hungarian context, generally encompasses this broad spectrum of house music, reflecting its global popularity and influence on contemporary electronic music culture.
