Last night I got my first real taste of genuine Chicago House.
Ended up at a birthday party at Darkroom in Ukrainian Village. It's probably my favorite bar/club that I have been to in town. The bar was done up in black & red, with some photos under the lit bar and above the cushy booths. The lighting was low, but not dark. The walls were not covered in sports paraphernalia. And the people were great. Once the party got started, there was a nice diverse crowd. Various ages, ethnicities. Not a homogeneous crowd of Trixies and Chads, or hipsters, or whatnot. Everyone was there to have a good time, polite, dancing. It was not a "scene". And the music was awesome.
The music didn't stop all night, with DJ Lego spinning, varying from Diva to Latin, with a consistent Chicago bass-beat. I was informed that they were playing some classic Chicago House tunes and beat. And I loved it. No hip-hop/rap crap. Just a constantly danceable sound.
