UK hard house

UK hard house or simply hard house is a style of electronic dance music[1] that emerged in the early 1990s and is synonymous with its association to the Trade club and the associated DJs there that created the style.[2][3][4] It often features a speedy tempo (around 150 BPM but hard house ranges from around 135 BPM to around 165 BPM), offbeat bass stabs,[5] hoovers and horns.[5] It usually contains a break in the middle of the track where no drums are present. UK hard house often uses a long and sharp string note to create suspense. Most of the time, the drops are introduced by a drum roll.
