Page "House music" Paragraph 5

Producers use many different sound-sources for bass sounds in house, from continuous, repeating electronically generated lines sequenced on a synthesizer, such as a Korg M1, Roland SH-101, or TB-303, to studio recordings or samples of live electric bassists, or simply filtered-down samples from whole stereo recordings of classic funk tracks or any other songs.

House bass-lines tend to favor notes that fall within a single-octave range, whereas disco bass-lines often alternated between octave-separated notes and would span greater ranges.

Some early house productions used parts of bass lines from earlier disco tracks.

For example, producer Mark " Hot Rod " Trollan copied bass-line sections from the 1983 Italo disco song " Feels Good ( Carrots & Beets )" ( by Electra featuring Tara Butler ) to form the basis of his 1986 production of " Your Love " by Jamie Principle.

Frankie Knuckles used the same notes in his more famous 1987 version of " Your Love ", which also featured Principle on vocals.
