Stadium house

Stadium house is a genre of dance music which was most successful in the early 1990s.[1][2] Acts such as the KLF and Utah Saints combined house music with other elements more typical in rock music, such as bombastic live shows and even guitarists, to add additional impact to their music and appearance, in order to fill large venues and drive audience participation, or convey a live atmosphere in their recordings.[3] Artists in this genre typically made heavy use of samples, and frequently sampled crowd noise for use in their music.
