Hard House 1/3

Hard House is a subgenre of electronic dance music that emerged in the early 1990s. It is characterized by its fast tempo, aggressive basslines, and hard-hitting beats, often featuring distorted synthesizers and heavy percussion. The genre is often associated with rave and club culture, and its sound is designed to create an intense and high-energy atmosphere.


Hard House tracks typically feature a tempo ranging from 140-150 BPM, making it one of the fastest subgenres of dance music. The use of hard-hitting drums, basslines, and synths creates a sense of urgency and excitement, and the music is often designed to be played loud in club and festival environments.


Hard House has its roots in the UK, where it gained popularity in the 1990s as a part of the rave scene. Some of the key artists associated with the genre include Lisa Lashes, Andy Farley, and Paul Glazby, who helped to define the sound and style of Hard House.
