A Two-fer........ Chicago Reflection and Political Shut-Down
Recently during a broadcast on Chicago House Radio's "The Deep Dis" , I opened a discussion about admiration and the current "house music" scene in Chicago. I asked the question... What draws you to the parties in Chicago?

Most times I believe a lot of us are truly chasing the past. Harping on the nostalgia of how parties from Chicago's hay-day used to be. But then there are those that just love the culture. I figure there should be a healthy respect for all individuals involved in this scene. Whether you be the one chasing or the one that just loves the music or chasing nostalgia for the love of the music.
Either way your means are justified, just stay true to them. My main concern is the lack of unity in the community. The Chicago house music culture is just as much split and segregated as the city we live in.
All type of clicks and crews, sects and organizations, that seem to have a problem merging for one common alliance which is music. We have even gotten to the point where we won't associate the music some play with house music anymore.
It gets to be a bit confusing when you stop and think of the humble beginnings of this culture. Ask yourself what made me come to those parties back in the dayz? Now ask yourself what makes me come to the events nowadayz?

Since a lot of people from the humble beginnings are pushing 40 and over another question comes to mind.....What are we showing future generations about this culture and the music we love so much Chicago?
We used to have radio pushing the tunes we loved hearing at the parties but of course corporate is trying very successfully to make that a thing of the past. The very few and far between radio stations that actually give listeners some variation of music, are being threatened by a performance tax. This tax right now is being pushed by record companies and some artist to have radio stations pay royalties for the music they play on the stations. This same free promotion that helps them the companies and artist connect with their listener.

But I digress.............
Here's another question..... what's really stopping djs, promoters, members from one "click" or another from truly coming together and throwing a party? Example a Chosen Few/Bring The Heat party, or better yet all the websites that have something to do with house music of course focusing on Chicago and having some type of event. It could be a walk for AIDS and a party afterwards to raise awareness. I'm just throwing out ideas but the bottom line is whats is stopping us?
Are we that caught up on ego's that we can't come together for one cause. I have all the best of hopes for the house community in Chicago. I bring no ill will to anyone trying to do their thing in this scene. But sometimes I think we need to step back and look at our purpose. Ask yourself is what you're doing really worth the effort you're putting into it?
Am I going to get the necessary response in order to make a difference?
And then ask yourself , what can I do to make this change? Or ask yourself do you wanna make this change?
Are you happy with the house music culture in Chicago?
