Collection: Ghetto House
Ghetto House is a high-energy, underground dance music genre that emerged from Chicago's Black electronic music scene, characterized by its fast-paced, raw beats and minimalist production style. Driven by rapid-fire drum machine rhythms, repetitive vocal samples, and a gritty, stripped-down sound, the genre pulses with an intense, club-ready energy. Its regional sub-genres like Footwork—known for its frenetic, syncopated dance-oriented beats—and Baltimore Club (Bmore)—featuring chopped samples and aggressive percussion—further amplify its dynamic and innovative sonic landscape. Rooted in the experiences of urban Black communities, Ghetto House represents a bold, unapologetic form of musical expression that prioritizes rhythm, movement, and raw emotional intensity over polished production, making it a powerful and influential genre in electronic dance music.
