Garage House

Garage House is a style of dance music which emerged in the early 1980s. It is a combination of post-disco, soul, and house music, drawing heavily from the earlier disco era. The style developed in the New York City area, and was initially popular in underground clubs and dance floors. It features a four-on-the-floor beat, a moderate to fast tempo, and a prominent kick drum. Garage House also has a strong focus on synthesizers and sampling, and often incorporates disco-style vocals. The genre has a rich history, with early pioneers such as Frankie Knuckles, Larry Levan, and Todd Terry credited for its success.
