True electronic sound began with the genre known as Electro-Boogie or “New York Boogie” in the early 1980’s. Similar to Post-Disco, Electro was a Blues and Jazz genre with electronic sounds, samples and influences. A hugely important part of the electro movement was the use of the Roland TR-808 Drum Beat Machine. The pioneering artists of the genre at the time were players like, Herbie Hancock, Zapp, Sinnamon and George Clinton. Also, a major defining sound of Electro was a heavy emphasis of sound on the second and fourth beats generally located from 110-116 beats per minute. This genre was the inspiration to the initial early emergences of house and rave music in the mid to late eighties. Although House music was originally created in Chicago,IL and not New York, the House movement quickly spread worldwide and nationwide to major cities like London, Detroit and of course New York City. Early house music was generally dance-based music characterized by repetitive 4/4 beats, rhythms mainly provided by drum machines, off-beat hi-hat cymbals, and synthesized basslines. While House music had many aspects of Disco, it was much more minimalistic and electronic. As House music evolved into the numerous sub-genres with iconic artists leading each sub-movement, Electronic music was continuing to grow and progress into new sounds and beat patterns. By the early 1990’s, Breakbeat electronic music “broke” out onto the dancefloors of nightclubs everywhere. Breakbeat shared much more aspects and origins of sound with hip-hop music than any other genre, with syncopated (a.k.a. “breakbeat”) beats. Opposed to earlier styles of Rave, Techno and House music…. Jungle, Drum’n’Bass and Hardcore placed very heavy emphasis on bass and low frequency sounds and much faster bpm’s ranging anywhere from 135-185 beats per minute. By 1994 jungle had begun to gain mainstream popularity and fans of the music    became a more recognizable part of youth subculture. The genre further developed, incorporating and fusing elements from a wide range of existing musical genres, including the raggamuffin sound, dancehall, MC chants, dub basslines, and increasingly complex, heavily edited breakbeat percussion.
