Ambient house
Appearance
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.
