Educational house (edu house for
short) is a genre of house
music created by DJ Kronotrope. This is essentially house
music that doubles up as an educational tool by imparting valuable knowledge to specialist groups and/or the general public through song.
Songs have been used as a medium for imparting knowledge for centuries. Though inferior in many respects to more traditional forms of learning, they remain especially potent for delivering
small pieces of important information – especially the kind that needs to be memorised. This is because most songs contain loops. Usually, melodies constitute such loops; but for many songs with vocals, even lyrics
loop. Looped lyrics assail the listener's mind and '
drill the information into one's head', so to speak.
Edu house songs can belong to any subgenre of house
music, but must satisfy the conditions listed below:
1. The song qualifies as house
music (this includes of all accepted subgenres such as progressive, electro, deep, and
tech)
2. The knowledge imparted is valuable
3. The knowledge is 100% factually correct based on authoritative sources such as recognised academic journals
4. The knowledge imparted is not revisable within the foreseeable future
5. The song features no adult content (
e.g. songs about sex and drugs cannot qualify as edu house).
Enjoy!
1. I was
dancing to this
tune last night while I was drunk, and all of a sudden, I know all the actions of the acetylcholine! I was really drunk too! I must have been listening to some educational house!
2. Educational house is so useful for memorising the twenty causes of digital
clubbing!
