Today, we can see the tendency that much part of popular music is oriented towards dance music. The elements of dance-oriented popular music, especially of those rhythms are majorly influenced by House/Techno music which was emerged around the early 1980’s from the underground night club scene in the United State. This article intends to examine the reason how and why House music was invented and about to strongly influence on popular music. In the process of examination, it is mentioned that a unique role of Japanese synthesizer named TB-303 which contributed towards developing the early scene of Acid House Music. The major group to invent and bring up House music was gay Afro-Americans in that time and they should be recognized as subcultural tribe in terms of urban sociology/cultural studies. In this paper, I regard the House music as the practice of bricolage by urban tribe and as TB-303 as tribal musical instrument. Also the trend of embodiment of music is discussed through the process in which popular music is about to change from the thing to listen towards something to feel.
