KDAallday: Revolution of House

Written by: KDA

Back when I was a freshman in high school, roughly 4 years ago, everyone had been introduced to this up and coming artist named David Guetta. He seemed to be a relitively new name to the world of music, or at least I thought. He was just new to the United States but has been a large name worldwide for the past 20 years. He is 45 years old and finally I was introcduced to his music. David Guetta, who has since become the ringleader for the house music phenomenon sweeping across the world, is just one of the many large names in the House Industry. In the Documentary “Nothing But The Beat”, Guetta says “I wanted to create a bridge between Europe and America,” and he accomplished his goal. He didn't look at house music as a way to distinguish himself from others, he viewed house music as a way to bring urban and white culture together under one roof. Now signed to the famous EMI Virgin Records, Guetta has proven that house music is here to stay.

House had a good start in society after enjoying underground and club-based success in Chicago from the 1980s onwards. After, it ended up emerging into the UK maintstream pop market in the mid-to-late 80s. Popularity quickly followed in the rest of Europe, and it became a global phenomenon from the early-to-mid 90s onwards. Over time, more mainstream pop-infused variation grew increasingly popular.

Guetta is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to big name producers. Here's a list of my top 10 DJs and my favorite song(s) by them.
