House emerged from the Warehouse club in Chicago (hence the name). DJ Frankie Knuckles — the “godfather of house” — mixed disco records with a drum machine. The main difference from techno: house is “more human,” with vocals, soul piano, and syncopated rhythms.
Sub-genres: deep house (slower, more lyrical), tech house (merged with techno), garage house (gospel-influenced piano riffs and female vocals, from New York's Paradise Garage), tropical house (a modern pop version). The Ukrainian house scene is strong: John Object, Ptu, Anton Kubikov. The Kyiv festival Respublica Koli is one of the biggest house events in Eastern Europe.
