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.

Pump Up The Volume full documentary- must see full length film on the history of house music. Eye opening.

Listening: /r/house recommended pre 97 classics


"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..."

Anthony Moore (Romanthony), 1999

Upcoming concerts/djs?

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.

Seeking a New Head Mod - Giving away the Subreddit

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.

Want to start VJing

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.

Chicago is unlike anywhere

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.

EDM History

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 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Two argentine house addicts visiting Chicago from 7/21 to 7/25. Any advice about clubs or venues on those nights?

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.

What’s more fun? The pre party on 06/01 or the 40th anniversary on 06/02 ?

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 ?

Survey on Chicago House culture

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!
