Introduction of House Music
House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the 1980s in Chicago, Illinois. It is characterized by its use of a four-on-the-floor beat, synthesizers, and electronic drum machines, as well as prominent basslines and vocals that often feature repetitive phrases and a strong emphasis on rhythm. House music is often associated with the club scene and has been popularized by DJs and producers who create and play the music at clubs and other venues around the world. It has also been influential in the development of other electronic dance music genres such as techno, trance, and garage.

TripL Interview on Nagamag
Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?
TripL:
While we've been known a lot for our progressive house in the past, this year we've decided to explore different genres and been switching it up a bit with classic piano chords in the break and a future house style Hexagon drop in both our Dua Lipa Remix and Never Gonna Give You Up to explore new horizons, which is something which we gonna keep pushing in the near future.
Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
TripL:
We each had different musical background, Lior played the piano and listened to a wide range of music from an early age. He has
been DJing and producing music from the age of 15. while finishing “Muzik” college school as an honor student he was releasing a few “white label” remixes that got supported by big names like: Fedde La Grand, Dave Spoon, Hard Rock Sofa and many more. While Omri started his career when he was only 14 years old. An autodidact and a perfectionist
producer/mixing/mastering with sharp senses for sound design. Working as a music producer at “Mantra Music Productions” for the last 10 years with more than 500 remixes and original productions. His first release in the electronic scene happened way back in his youth, signing tracks at the German record label “Platten Bank” supported by Sasha and
John Digweed.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
TripL:
We actually started listening to club trance as kids. The good old Magic Sunrise compilations by Tiësto. Then we moved towards the house scene including legends like Axwell, Bob Sinclar and more. These days we're trying to explore more genres and decades of music. Gotta say that we're huge fans of the original disco and funk scene of the 70s! Pure music.
Nagamag:
How would you describe your latest release "Get On Down"?
TripL:
‘Get On Down’ invites you to adhere to the dancefloor-ready release’s mantra title from the jump-off, distorted house synths ushering in a deep, reverbed vocal that projects forth the hands-in-the-air, slinking house vibe before it’s even out of the gate – make no mistake these boys didn’t come to play. Fortifying their “Get On Down” topline that serves as the axis of the track for attitude-driven snaps of delivery and uplifting, vigorous energy to overtake like a tsunami.
Nagamag:
Can you please tell us what you guys been up to in recent times, how were you affected by the pandemic?
TripL:
We have been pretty busy actually, we were invited to take over guestmixes for a lot of renowned DJs such as Tigerlily and more. Still dealing with pandemic wasn’t easy and have lead to a lot of tours and festivals being cancelled, there was one in march that was affected the most. We were meant to play in front of 60,000 people known for being one of the biggest parties in the Middle East where we planned on premiering our new local hit, we made up for that with a livestreams full of IDs and Festival bangers. Despite all of that it didn’t prevent us from using the lockdown for the best and spend more time in the studio making a lot new music which “Get On Down” is just the tip of what’s yet to come. In addition we've released a Local pop hit called “Tamid Kadima” meaning always moving forward in Hebrew which talks about positivity and fit the current Covid-19 situation perfectly, the song received a lot of success with over million plays within the first two weeks, live morning shows performances and lots radio supports.

Some House subgenres
There are many subgenres of house music, each with its own unique characteristics and influences. Some common subgenres of house music include:
Deep house: A subgenre of house that originated in the 1980s and is characterized by its use of complex chord structures, smooth basslines, and a relaxed, atmospheric sound.
Tech house: A subgenre of house that combines elements of techno and house music and is characterized by its use of intricate, percussive rhythms and a strong emphasis on production techniques.
Acid house: A subgenre of house that originated in the 1980s and is characterized by its use of the Roland TB-303 synthesizer, which produces a distinctive, squelchy sound known as the “acid” sound.
Tribal house: A subgenre of house that originated in the 1990s and is characterized by its use of percussion-heavy rhythms and a strong tribal influence.
Electro house: A subgenre of house that originated in the 2000s and is characterized by its use of electronic and synthesized sounds, as well as heavy basslines and a fast tempo.
Chicago house: A subgenre of house that originated in Chicago, Illinois and is characterized by its use of a four-on-the-floor beat, electronic drum machines, and synthesizers.
Funky house: A subgenre of house that combines elements of funk, soul, and disco with a four-on-the-floor beat and electronic production techniques.
Minimal house: A subgenre of house that originated in the 2000s and is characterized by its use of stripped-back, minimalist production techniques and a focus on subtle changes in sound and rhythm.
Progressive house: A subgenre of house that originated in the 1990s and is characterized by its use of complex, evolving melodies and a focus on building tension and releasing it through the use of breakdowns and buildups.
Soulful house: A subgenre of house that combines elements of soul, funk, and disco with a four-on-the-floor beat and electronic production techniques.

Jackin’ house: A subgenre of house that originated in Chicago and is characterized by its use of a four-on-the-floor beat, funky basslines, and a strong emphasis on rhythm.
Ghetto house: A subgenre of house that originated in Chicago and is characterized by its use of raw, stripped-back production techniques and a focus on bass-heavy, percussive rhythms.
These are just a few examples of the many subgenres of house music that exist. Many house producers and DJs draw from a wide range of influences when creating their music, and the lines between different subgenres can be blurry at times.
The most used instruments in House Music
In house music, electronic instruments and production techniques are often used to create the distinctive sound of the genre. Some common electronic instruments and equipment that are used in the production of house music include:
Synthesizers: House music often makes use of synthesizers to create a wide range of electronic sounds, including basslines, melodies, and percussion.
Drum machines: House music often makes use of drum machines to create the characteristic four-on-the-floor beat that is a hallmark of the genre.
Samplers: House music producers often use samplers to manipulate and incorporate sounds from other sources, such as vocals, percussion, or other instrumentation, into their tracks.
Digital audio workstations (DAWs): House music producers often use digital audio workstations to create, edit, and arrange their tracks.
DJ controllers: House music DJs often use DJ controllers to mix and manipulate tracks in real-time.
Effects processors: House music producers and DJs often use effects processors, such as reverb, delay, and filters, to shape the sound of their tracks.
Vocals: vocals are often used in house music. In many cases, vocals are used to provide a catchy, repetitive phrase or hook that helps to drive the rhythm of the track and create a memorable listening experience. House music vocals are often processed with effects such as reverb, delay, and filtering to give them a distinctive sound. In some cases, house music producers will sample vocals from other sources, such as classic soul or disco tracks, and incorporate them into their own tracks. House music vocals can be performed by a solo artist or a group, and can be sung or spoken in a variety of styles. The lyrics in house music can vary widely depending on the specific track and the artist who created it. Some house music tracks may have lyrics that focus on themes such as love, relationships, or personal experiences, while others may have more abstract or spiritual themes. In some cases, the lyrics of a house music track may be secondary to the overall atmosphere or groove of the track, and may be used more as a means of creating a particular mood or feeling rather than conveying a specific message. In other cases, the lyrics of a house music track may be more prominent and may be used to convey a specific message or theme. Ultimately, the meaning of the lyrics in a house music track will depend on the specific artist and the context in which the track was created.
In addition to these electronic instruments, some house music producers and DJs may also incorporate live instrumentation, such as keyboards, drums, or guitar, into their tracks.
