Garage House

Garage house is a subgenre of electronic dance music emerged in New York City and New Jersey during the early to mid 1980s and popularized in discothèques like Paradise Garage and Zanzibar. In comparison to house music, garage house has more polished attributes, including gospel-influenced piano riffs and female vocals. After the collapse of disco music in the late 1970s, dance music became overwhelmed with synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines.
