What we’re about
House music, (named "House Music" after The Warehouse club in Chicago where it originated in the early 1980's,) is a style of electronic dance music that was developed by dance club DJs in Chicago that were influenced by early to mid-1970s dance music as spun by DJs in New York, and spread to Detroit, New York, and eventually Europe. House music is strongly influenced by elements of the early to mid 1970s soul- and funk-infused dance music style of disco. House music takes disco's use of a prominent bass drum on every beat and developed a new style by mixing in a heavy electronic synthesizer bassline, electronic drums, electronic effects, funk and pop samples, and reverb- or delay-enhanced vocals.

This group is for people who like this kind of music and would like to share their interest in it with others, as well as any others who would like to learn more about this kind of music. Also to spread the word and enrich the culture of House Music in Portland metro area.
There is some House Music culture movement in Rose city, but I feel that it's so underground, that I have hard time finding a place or a group that I can follow.
