HARD HOUSE
UK hard house is built on offbeat bass stabs, hoovers and horns, typically near 150 BPM.[2] It emerged in the early 1990s, closely tied to London's Trade club, with roots in Belgian and German techno, handbag house and early trance.[2] Tony De Vit is called the godfather of the style, and Tidy Trax, Sundissential and Frantic were key labels and nights.[2]
