A subreddit to for all of your Chicago house music, events, meet-ups, promotion and anything else vaguely Chi-town. Enjoy
I was mystified as to why there wasn't a Chicago House subreddit already.
Feel free to post your own mixes/productions as well; just make sure what your craft is Chicago House.

"When my underground sound became overground around 1995, all the trappings and pressures of dealing with worldwide attention threatened to stall the innovation & excitement of club music, my music.
Instead of giving the $ more attention than the music I decided to 'hold on to the spirit of discovery..."

Any good shows coming up in the next few months. I love hard hitting danceable beats with more of a mixed age group (not just all 20 year olds). Had a blast a Chromeo recently.
I believe this subreddit could and should be handled by someone who has more passion for it.
I initially r/redditrequest 'd this sub, because it was set to Restricted, and nobody could post.
If there is anyone that would like to take over, let me know in the comments.

Hello everyone, Are there any house events this Saturday, September 21st? I have a friend coming in town & it’s their birthday. They love house music & I want to find a live show to bring them to! Please help!!!
Hey guys, after getting my associates degree in chemistry and then not being able to continue for my bachelors due to financial issues, I am dedicating all of my time towards my hobby making visuals for music and would really like to get some experience using resolume and other programs in live settings. I have mostly done things in blender and with fractal generators, I am making my own handmade collection of clips to loop together in resolume. I have already made a few visuals that I posted on YouTube, hoping to make some connections here to potentially get some live experience. Thanks.
I went to Arc festival this year and it was my first time in Chicago. Besides seeing many legends at the festival, along with many other artists from around the world, the city of Chicago blew me away. You can go to a club and find some of the best djs I've heard. You can really catch the Detroit and Chicago influence out there. This really resonated with me since these are the styles of dance music I like to play, along with New Jersey and New York influenced tracks.
I'm having a really hard time coming back to my hometown (Winnipeg), because the scene is not very inspiring. Does anyone find it hard to relate to the music in their city? Anyone here go to Chicago, and never want to come back? I actually feel like I belong there as a dj and musician. It seems like a great place to hone your skills and draw inspiration.
Hi everyone! I’m a student trying to complete my dissertation about the emergence of electronic music as a new genre, a topic that is very important to me. I’m looking for people (ravers, DJs, producers, promoters) who would like to share their experiences or thoughts about the scene and thought about asking in this community if someone might be willing to talk with me. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Post what house music events you are heading to this weekend in the comments below. Let’s do it every week, there’s so much going on in the city.
We´ve never been to Chicago or have friends there, and as we see, the options are infinit. So if anyone has some advice on classic Chicago House clubs or venues, we´d be grateful.
I requested to work mornings this weekend so I can go to either both or at least one day of the house music fest downtown. What’s the difference ? Is one more exciting than the other ?
The exhibit “Chicago: Home of House” opens Wednesday May 1st, 2024 with a special live podcast by the Vintage House Show team and special guest Grammy nominated DJ/Remixer/Producer and Chosen Few DJ Terry Hunter at 6 pm CT. The exhibit runs through October.

Hey! I'm currently doing research for a course at Loyola where I'm studying the Chicago House music scene. I'm specifically focusing on the presence of spirituality within the community.
I'm putting out a survey to get a wider range of responses--If anyone wants to fill this out, that would be awesome! Everything is completely anonymous and the only information recorded will be your answers (no emails, usernames, any other identifying information will be collected).
Here's the survey, thanks!
