Best 100 chicago house releases

Chicago House Music originated in the mid-1980s in Chicago, combining elements of disco, European synth music, 1970s soul, and homemade beats created by DJs on drum machines and synthesizers. It is characterized by a steady 4/4 time signature played around 120 beats per minute (BPM), giving it a danceable rhythm. The genre is known for its soulful vocals, emotive chord progressions, and the use of early synthesizers, which contribute to its complex and emotional feel.
