    Default The Chicago House Thread

    had to happen at some point. chicago house ranges from sparse and dark electronic to flowery disco; from slow and soft to hard and banging. from jazz to acid. some of it basically is techno with a different name.

    so who else is a fan? of what and of whom?

    for sh*ts and giggles, here's some interesting links

    history lessons:
    History of Chicago House Music
    Chicago house - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    BBC - collective - the legacy of chicago acid

    classic tracks that should appeal to techno heads:
    YouTube - HOUSE MASTER BOYZ - HOUSE NATION
    YouTube - K.Alexi Shelby - Vertigo 1989
    YouTube - Dj Sneak - Tribal Rhymes (Defiant)
    YouTube - Dj Funk - Run (Uk Extended Mix)
    YouTube - Retro Classic: Green Velvet - Destination Unknown

    radio
    Online House Radio Station - Live365 Internet Radio - Chicago House Radio

    HUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE HUUUUUUUGGGGGEEEE fan of Chicago house. Basically was all the same thing back in 1985-88 when Detroit were doing their thing too. I was an avid collector of all the Jack Trax stuff back in the day, plus all the DJ International/Trax stuff. You mention K ALexi - OMG he was da man. Anyone remember this:

    YouTube - Risque III - Risque Madness 1987

    heheheh

    House music lost it's way for me when Garage seemed to take over the sound and when it all started becoming a bit too formulated and gay for my liking.

    Over recent years the trend to go back to alot of the early 'feel' of Chicago house by techno/house crossover artists is making me think that this sound is just as good, if not better, than techno.

    But then the next day an amazing piece of techno hits your ears and your mind's changed again lol.

    PS You all really need to check some of Paul Mac's mixes on this very server:

    Hell yeah. Was a massive fan of Sneak in the 90's, went all over to see him play. Derrick Carter too. Really tough tunes.

    Saw sneak at Mint a few years ago but was piss poor, no impact and really boring :(

    well, i know the hardcore detroitophiles think techno also lost its way somewhere in the mid-90s, so it's probably a matter of perspective. HOWEVER, at the risk of sounding like a nostalgic old fogey, i can't really think of any house that captures the thrill of those early trax and dj int'l releases. really dark, melancholic stuff, full of space and super atmospheric.

    but i do also like some of the later, cheesier stuff. and the hard side of chicago. speaking of, think thomas bangalter's homage to robert armani, sneak etc. is worth a mention, even if he's not from chicago

    YouTube - THOMAS BANGALTER - TRAX ON DA ROCKS
