Handbag house is a term you may be unfamiliar with. However, it more than likely refers to something you're quite familiar with if you've ever been to a club.
Think A Night at the Roxbury. Haddaway. La Bouche. Snap. Jennifer Lopez's first single.
Yes, handbag house is the music of the Butabi brothers. Its name comes from the phenomenon of a group of women dancing around a pile of their handbags. (<sarcasm>because only FAGS dance</sarcasm>)
The music itself? Almost certainly a disco diva vocal melody. A simple four-on-the-floor TR-909 kick drum, with a hi-hat on the upbeats, and a snare on beats two and four. Basic synth stabs in a minor key.
Videos often feature the singer in a leather costume dancing around while a sculpted bald black man raps and looks threatening.
Also known as NRG, Euro, and Club.
Term discovered in Simon Reynolds' Generation Ecstasy and clarified in Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music
