Ambient house, a mix between
house music and
ambient music is a music style that describes itself as
dreamy, chill out and quiet music. Ambient house usually has
no beats but can have an underlying rhythm. Pioneering work
was done in the 1970s and 1980s by people like
Brian Eno and Klaus Schulze. In the end of the 1980s, when
house music was born, people like Mix Master Morris, Dr.
Alex Paterson and Pete Namlook filled the chill out rooms of house parties
with music where people could relax from dancing.
