Electro Music
Electro house (also known as electronic house, dirty house, and often shortened to simply "electro") is a subgenre of house music that rose to become one of the foremost genres of electronic dance music in 2004-6. Stylistically, it takes the 4/4 beats and moderate tempo of 'normal' house and adds harmonically rich analogue basslines, abrasive high-pitched leads and the occasional old-school piano or string riff. There is much cross-pollination with minimal techno.The use of the word "electro" to describe this style of modern house music is contentious. The term is used to describe a hip hop movement during the early 1980s, as represented by the pioneering "electro" album series via the Streetsounds record label.
