 Acid house of the late 1980s was the 'happier' (playful/fun) side of dance music exemplified by Italian piano-house (Italo disco/Hi-NRG of the early 90s) and this began to progress into a scene of its own.Throughout the first half of the 90s, house music which was more akin to the soulful, disco influenced dance music of the 80s, continued to flourish.By the mid 90s, uplifting house music in this vein was in abundance and producers in the UK such as The Sharp Boys were providing their own interpretation of the sound.
