>>2106250Chicago House emerged from Chicago dance clubs in the early 80s. I was a fusion of disco, boogie, funk and other styles of black music with electronic styles from Europe. The tracks was usually produced using the Roland TR-808 and TR-909 which give that distinctive beat. The TR-808 was also used in early rap and is responsible for the cowbell. It's influence can be heard with the European house scene of the early 90s aswell as video game music of the era.
For examples look up Frankie Knuckles, Steve "Silk" Hurley, Marshall Jefferson. In video games it can be heard in the works of Yuzo Koshiro, Naofumi Hataya and others.
