Feel the beat come down: house music as a rhetoric
Hawkins, Stan. "Feel the Beat Come Down: House Music as Rhetoric." Analyzing Popular Music: 80-102. Web.
The purpose of this article is to give ways to understand and listen to house music based on it's structure and musical organization. Hawkins reason for "Feel the beat come down: House music as a rhetoric" is to understand some of the internal mechanics of house music work. As technology advanced throughout the years since house music started, in the 80's, making the tracks became less about every step needed to make the sounds and more about the "mechanization of the beat." In the end, Hawkins found that listening and dancing to house music is about the person establishing their style through dance and everyone identifies in song differently.
