What is it and why is everyone that plays it so cool? :rolleyes:
...technically is not all house 'chicago house' since that is where house supposedly originated?
So far i have got that it is some kind of old school techish house. |

I wouldn't call 'Chicago House' a subgenre of house itself, but seeing as it is technically where house originated some people may classify those DJs playing it as 'cool' as they seem to be able to dig way back in the record collection and pull out some very old gems people seem to have forgotten about.
As for what it sounds like? Disco-y, classic house sound. A lot of real instruments rather than synthesized ones, combined with basic loops on drum machines. Good party music. But as you can see, I've described it's sound as an combination of two other sub-styles. Haha. |

The best description I've ever heard of Chicago house music is that it's "house that sounds like it could have been released at any time since 1993" (and that was from one of the jaded s on 4four.org so you know it must be accurate ;)).
If I was going to describe it, I'd say that it's pretty simple in composition (lots of loop-based stuff etc.) and - like Sly Guy said - lots of instrumental, disco type sounds. A lot of these divisions of genres based on geography haven't really been applicable for the past 10 years because the sounds have become much more global (I'd defy anyone, for instance, to distinguish between a house record released today in New York and one released in Chicago) but if you're looking for a definition, I think that's probably as close as you're gonna get. |
