Elements Defining New House Music Releases

By Lenore Bolton


There are very many types of songs and genres in the market. They all evolved from the medieval era. People listen to songs due to the effect it has on them. The main purpose of listening to songs is for relaxation, communication, meditation and entertainment. In order for artistes to stay relevant in the industry they have to keep up with emerging trends and genres. New house music releases are currently the most popular ones.

For centuries, the composition of songs has seen diversity and growth. It began with chants and grew up to more complex melodies, rhythms and sounds. Each of these genres are said to build from each other right from the medieval days. This genre is no different as it is said to have developed from the disco genre. Its origin is the state of Chicago, in the late twentieth century.

Just like all other types of songs, this genre takes into consideration the basic musical aspects. These include harmony, melody, rhythm and lyrics. Producing a song is about playing around with these different aspects to bring out different genres. Some genres focus on one aspect more than the other while some take all into keen consideration equally. This genre focuses on the rhythm mainly.

The key element that defines this genre is the beats. It is characterized by a kick drum on every beat. This is generated by a machine or a sampler. The genre is said to have a powerful beat rhythm that stands out more than the melody. This was majorly influenced by disco melody but with a faster tempo.

The melody is the second most considered aspect. Being of the dance and disco nature, this melody is translated into a steady bass sound. The bass sound is produced by electronic machines in the studio as well. This machine is known as a sampler or a synthesizer. Other aspects like lyrics are not paid much attention to as compared to the tempo and melody.

Being a widely produced genre, different styles have sprung up under it. The styles are distinguished by their melody, the instruments used in production and the origin of the song. One example that is characterized by the type of instrument used is the acid style. The main machine that distinguishes it is the electronic synthesizer sequencer.

This kind of genre is produced in several countries worldwide. This brings about difference in the styles for example the Dutch style or French style which still falls under this genre. This difference is mainly due to the inclusion of certain cultural styles a country is accustomed to in production of songs. Other styles include garage, disco and funky among others.

With its diversity, different styles and unique production aspects new house music releases will continue taking over the industry. It is a very popular field and cuts across all age brackets. Artistes have realized that this kind of songs sell in this generation and are therefore producing more of this genre.
