What is the difference between house trance and electro music?

House is the most general term of the bunch, all the rest are sub-genres. There are many other sub-genres such as funky house, disco house, Latin house etc. All of these other sub-genres are typified by loops or instrumentation that heavily references or samples another style of music.

Deep house is more influenced by soul and jazz than by disco and funk. It is usually a little bit slower than other house styles (about 110-125 bpm, whereas the styles I mentioned above range from about 115-128 on average.) The percussion is usually a little quieter than in other house styles, putting the focus more on the basic groove of the song than on the beat. Sampling of other styles is less common with deep house than most house, and when sampling IS used, it is usually fairly subtle. Jazz and old soul records are the most common sound source, although disco, funk and latin are occasionally used too. Much of deep house uses synth melodies and basslines that are inspired by jazz progressions, although most of them are not inherently "jazzy" sounding. Because of the more complex music theory involved in deep house production, some people consider it more soulful and sophisticated than other house types. In the early days, most deep house had vocals, but most of it today is fully instrumental. Deep house originated in NY and was also very popular in London during the 90s. It is now fairly uncommon.

Progressive house is essentially the UK's answer to both US House and early German trance. In its earliest days it focused on heavy synth lines and a very computer generated sound (like trance) but often used diva vocals and had a warm sound (closer to house at the time.) Later the term was applied to Brittish artists who were essentially copying continental European trance but gave it a more complicated song structure and more intensely melodic sound. In the late 90s many of the artists fully embraced their trance heritage and it essentially became progressive trance. At that point, a new wave of UK artists started using the term to describe music that occupied a musical gray area between house, trance, and techno. Current progressive house is more synthetic sounding than house, less blatantly melodic than trance, and somewhat "cleaner" and less repetitive than techno. It still uses the constantly evolving song structure, with elements being added or removed every 2, 4 or 8 measures. It also uses a similar build-up/breakdown structure as trance, but is more subtle, with shorter breakdowns. The style typically uses strange sound effects and "trippy" vocal samples that wash through though the song at seemingly random intervals. Some of it uses pretty complex percussion. The BPM tends to range from 125-135, making it quicker than a lot of house but slower than most trance. Because of its subtlety and similarity to other styles, progressive house tracks are fairly easy to mix into house, techno or trance sets, although many artists work primarily in progressive house.

Tech house is a highly contested term and isn't really used the same way by everyone. The basic concept is that it is half house and half techno. So it will be more minimal, repetitive and mechanical than house, but have some kind of soulful or melodic element not typically found in techno. In my opinion, most tech-house basically sounds like techno, and I usually don't use the term personally.

Electro house is the newest style on this list, and is heavily inspired by Daftpunk. The sound is much more synthetic sounding than most house, relying on sawtooth waves for the melodies and bass. The basslines are usually very prominent and distorted, and some tracks sound fairly similar to a four-to-floor version of dubstep, but electro house isn't typically as chaotic or menacing sounding as dubstep (there are definite exceptions to this rule though). Many electro-house songs feature pop music vocal samples in them, and some DJs rely on this kind of track, but it is hardly universal.

Sources- a lifetime of researching and listening to electronic music, several books and online sources (check out Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music at http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/ if you haven't yet. He hasn't updated it since electro house became popular, but the other styles are there.) I also was a house/trance/progressive/techno and jungle dj from 97-01.

What are the different kinds of a musical form?

- The sonata-allegro form is made of three sections: an exposition, a development and a recapitulation. The exposition has two themes. The development is often an improvisation over the exposition with modulations, and it is the composer's place to be creative and "show off" his abilities. The recapitulation is a repeat of the two themes from the exposition, and it ends with a coda.

- A rondo is a form where the piece moves from one theme to the next. For example, it could be ABCDE... It could also repeat the A theme throughout, thus ABACADA...

- A concerto is a sonata written for an instrument accompanied by an orchestra.

Note that sonata-allegro form is not the same as a sonata! Most first movements of sonatas are in sonata-allegro form.

What do you wear to a rave?

Comfortable clothing because you are going to dance all night.

Also something that is really original, that expresses who you are.

You can wear something skin-revealing, there are no rules in raves, and it feels good to let the skin breathe when it gets really hot inside the building. And then don't forget to also bring a warm sweather for the morning. It can be really comforting on the ride back home.

There are also many pre-established clothing styles;

Gothic ravers - will wear industrial culture clothes, latex, fichnet stockings, synthetic dreadlocks, boots..

Kandi Ravers - will wear big colorful fur pants, pacifiers, plastic jewelery, glitters and lots of colour.

Junglists - will wear lots of camouflage and army clothing.

Hippie ravers - will wear tie-dye clothes, and psychedelic patterns.

Clubbers - will wear simple nice-looking clothes, either very sexy, shades, hats...

but the best styles are really the ones that just come out of nowhere. :)

when i go to a rave i always wear lots of neon glowy stuff lyk tutus etc xx

you should just wear what makes you feel comfy in& make sure that that outfit will not kill during the night.

-When igo to raves iwear a Bright colored bra with shorts and long bright socks and gog boots(: or iwear leggings with a bra or tutu or jus something really sexy (: at the next rave ima wear a landura !(:

-Also make sure to wear close toed shoes, like boots or flats or something, because your feet will be stomped on.

Who is the little girl talking on the 911 Remix of Heaven by DJ Sammy?

The stations director for KISS.FM California's daughter.

"The little girl's vocal was actually the daughter of the program director at the time. He simply read her the lines and had her repeat them for him, with a little emotional prompting. Then he edited himself out of the voice track. This was one of the most requested songs in the stations history, and had all of the local market talking. It even crossed over to Clear Channel's other stations for a wider audience"

What is the difference between acoustic music and electronic music?

Electronic music refers to music that emphasizes the use of electronic musical instruments or electronic music technology as a central aspect of the sound of the music.

Electronica includes a wide range of contemporary electronic music designed for a wide range of uses, including foreground listening, some forms of dancing, and background music for other activities; but unlike electronic dance music, it is not specifically made for dancing.

So, you know how pop has subgenres, like dance pop, bubblegum pop, piano pop, etc? Electronica is just a subgenre of electronic music.

As a side note, if you think you would be a fan of electronica & electronic, see the band Crystal Castles. Can't stop listening for YEARS ♥ :))

That is not exactly Techno, because it has a mixture of house in it. The music is a mixture in genre between Techno and house, but it is not really Techno in its pure form. This genre we call it Techno Dance, and this is the genre that led to the uprising of Eurodance, which combined the elements of House,Trance,Techno and dance into one bag.

If you want to listen to the original techno music it goes something like this "Drexciya- Oxyplasmic Gyration Beam" and also listen to "Kraftwerk" they are one of the first electronic music producers.
