Diva house or Handbag house is an anthemic sub-genre of house music that became most popular in gay clubs during the nineties decade. It is known for booming female vocals, sometimes sampled from other recordings. Such samples come from 1970s soul, disco, gospel recordings and even show tunes sung by people like Bette Midler and other gay icons. This bombastic genre can include songs performed by dance specialists (see artists) as well as club remixes of pop songs by soul singers like Mariah Carey, Patti LaBelle, and Whitney Houston.[1]

The name "handbag house" comes from groups of female club-goers who dance around a pile of their handbags.[2]
