But what may be most interesting here is when this neurotransmitter is released: not only when the music rises to a peak emotional moment, but also several seconds before, during what we might call the anticipation phase.

The repetitive rhythm patterns of house music also make it unique. Research shows a relationship between rhythms in the brain and rhythms in music, which is no doubt a factor with house and electronic music. For some, certain rhythms are more difficult to recognise. This doesn’t necessarily make them worse dancers, but it does mean they are more likely to enjoy music that they can better comprehend.

We all know that listening to music brings us pleasure and joy (and sometimes pain), but what is happening inside our brains when we listen to it? The answer is: a lot. When you hear a song, all four lobes of the brain react. Memories, emotions, thoughts and movement are all impacted. Your brain processes the tone, pitch and volume of the music in the auditory cortex, then sends this information to the rest of the brain, creating a richer experience. When it gets to the amygdala, your brain releases dopamine: the chemical behind rewards and pleasure.

Research suggests the kind of music matters: Classical and meditative sounds seem to be particularly uplifting, whereas Heavy Metal and TECHNO can actually make depressive symptoms worse.
