House music

I love Chicago House but I can't enjoy it sober :/. Ironically no one really plays Chicago House in Chicago. The best real house music that i've heard was in Miami. There is no dedicated DnB and chicago house venues in Chicago. Alot of clubs have gone top 40 which is a shame. I'm hoping the remaining Chicago clubs don't sacrifice quality for $$.

really? How about Smartbar. Derrick Carter plays there quite frequently.

really? is that how it is every night (I know they have dnb nights as well).? that's a shame. I said to myself that I'd check out Smart bar if I ever visit Chicago. It seems like it's the only venue out there that has proper house music.
 
You couldn't be any further from correct, no offense. I just think your definition of "Chicago house", may be misconstrued? I mean it all really depends on what era you're referring to, and what scene. You can thank heads like Ron Hardy @ the music box, Marshall Jefferson, Armando Gallop (rip), the hot mix 5. Now of course you have the second wave Djs, Derrick Carter, Traxx, mystic bill, Paul Johnson, Justin Long etc etc. So I guess it all depends on what you consider "real house", and again, I think you are looking in the wrong place. Shit, I live in Denver now, and I hear about loft events back home with stellar artists (gene ferris, Jevon Jackson,diz,specter) all playing on the reg. Check out Ravearchive.com, they have every mix possible by an dj you could think of in/around the Midwest from the late 80's to the end of the 90's. IMO the house music allure died in 99...the last H.p.s/Vibe Alive events (jack the nation) @ the amoco building. Traxx, Billy, Davey Dave, Justin Long, DHS!!, Twonz, Brian G, A Guy Called Gerald. Again, there's PROPER house functions, just put your ear to the ground...or just go to the safe house on Fridays/Saturdays.

who were you referring to?

I didn't get into house until 2002 when I first caught a glimpse of derrick carter. That's about the same time as the new school style of "jackin" house got big in chicago. I guess that's what i think of when I hear "chicago house". Some of the DJs you mentioned did produce that new style, like justin long (part of no assembly required), derrick carter, paul johnson and diz. That style isn't that popular anymore but there are still club nights here and there that play that kind of music.

There's chicago booty house but I don't really consider it proper house music.
