Listen online radio by genre Hard house

Hard house is an energetic and pulsing form of electronic dance music that originated in the UK during the early 1990s. It's characterized by its fast tempo, pounding basslines, and often features horn stabs, strings, and piano riffs. Hard house typically utilizes drum breaks sampled from funk and R&B records to create a driving rhythm section that is perfect for the dance floor. The genre has evolved over time with sub-genres such as hard NRG (New Rhythmic Generation) which introduced faster tempos, more complex basslines and a greater emphasis on melody. Hard house continues to be popular in clubs around the world and remains an integral part of the electronic dance music scene.
