View this Thread in Original format
dinoXpress
Hey guys, doing an extended essay on house music and im wondering what everybody thinks was the first house tune.

i will then go on to HEAVILY anylyze this song to the MAX.

like ultra power analyzation.

But i need to pick one tune.

i understand there may be different opinions on the first house tune.

but try and put some thought in your mind and possibly give a reason or explanations.

i will be judging the song based on:

RHYTHM

MELODY

HARMONY

TONE COLOUR

FORM

EXPRESSION


thanks;)

Larry Heard aka Mr. Fingers - Can You Feel It.

Arguably.

Marshall Jefferson - Move Your Body.

or maybe Steve 'Silk' Hurley - Jack Your Body


I'm sure there was "house" music that predated this, but these were the tracks that put the fledgling scene on the map.

I don't have thoughts on the first house songs ever produced. But I just thought I'd help out on your essay if you'd like. I'm not sure if this is true since my memory's a little rusty. Correct me if I'm wrong. But a few years back, I read about how house formed. House music originated in Chicago in the early 1980s. It got the name "house" from the type of building it was created in, a warehouse. Hope I got this right. ;)

yeah you're right, it was Frankie Knuckles who was a resident at the Warehouse.

No, that's called Disco music...

And the club was called The Warehouse, yes. You might want to look up The Loft and David Mancuso if you haven't already.

Better still, how about you watch the brilliant documentary Pump up the volume about the history of house music :p
