Classic house is a genre of dance music that emerged in the early 1980s in Chicago. It is characterized by its use of drum machines, synthesizers, and samples, and often features soulful vocals and uplifting melodies. The tempo is usually around 120-130 BPM, and the music is designed to keep people dancing all night long. Some of the most famous classic house tracks include "Love Can't Turn Around" by Farley Jackmaster Funk and "Promised Land" by Joe Smooth.
