Disco
The 70s original: strings, funky bass, big voices. House grew out of it.

- 110–125
- Where it started
- New York, 1970s
What it sounds like
Live bands playing for the dance floor: a steady kick, a funky bassline that walks up and down, sweeping strings and big diva vocals. When disco records got stripped down to the beat, house was born.
Hear it
CHIC, “Le Freak”
