The initial audience started out black and gay in Chicago, but the genre has since attracted Mexicans and whites as well.
The word 'house' comes from a record that you only hear in a certain club. The DJs would search out an import that was as obscure as possible, and that would be a house record. You'd hear a certain record only at the Powerplant, and that was Frankie Knuckles' house record.

Around 1986/7, after the initial explosion of house music in Chicago, it was clear at the time that major record companies were reluctant to market this genre of music, associated with gay African Americans, on a mainstream level. Independent Chicago record labels, however, led the onslaught and kept churning out house music in high numbers. Chicago house artists were also very popular in Europe, chiefly London, but also cities such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Manchester, Milan, Zurich, and Tel Aviv. ... Eventually major labels began signing many Chicago house artists in the late 1980s, as well as artists from Europe and New York City as the genre grew in popularity.

house music was born in the black-latino urban gay clubs of the U.S.
Another New York DJ, Frankie Knuckles, moved to Chicago, following an invitation to become the resident DJ at the Warehouse, a gay black club.
