Oontz, oontz, oontz, oontz.
Summer is in full swing, and there’s an electric feeling in the air. We’re looking forward to letting loose and enjoying a good beach party or sweaty night dancing with our favs (or by ourselves in the living room.)
Recently, we’ve noticed the resurgence of house music into the mainstream, and we couldn’t be happier to hear it. The energetic genre makes us want to smoke strains that help us lose ourselves in the music and connect with the artists that create those pulsating beats.
House music and weed go together
Born and bred in Chicago, House music was created and pioneered by the Black, gay community in the late 1970s through 1980s and beyond.
Seeing as all things 70s are currently back in style, it’s no wonder house music is having a moment in 2022. But the genre has always had a strong, faithful community, and has influenced other genres of music since its inception.
Along with five sumptuous strains suggestions, we’ve created a playlist featuring tracks from legends of the house genre, like the “Godfather of House” himself, Frankie Knuckles. And of course, we had to add a few notable names who have dipped their toe into the genre, like Beyoncé with her new track, Break My Soul.
Whether you’re a long-time lover of house or just familiarizing yourself with it, here, you’ll find new tracks to love and play on repeat. So check out the suggested strains, head to the dispensary, and tune in for two hours of house jams.
Green Crack is a classic, well-loved strain that many people are already familiar with. Aptly named for its highly energizing effects, it’s also known to be great for focus, which will make it easy to tune in and get down on the dance floor.
