Chicago House. The name itself generally refers to house music produced during the mid to late 1980's. Today, house music has grown to include countless genre's and sub genres produced on every corner of the planet. But the one thing that has, is, and will always remain the same is how much of an influence the sound of Chicago House has had on todays current house market and will have in the time to come. Nowhere is that sound more apparent than on the new two song EP by South of Roosevelt. Their new release, the Cool Like You EP, is a testament to all things Chicago House, from the sound, to the tempo, and to the arrangement. The first track off the EP, 'Real Kinda Diva', brings that old school Chicago house sound too life. Heavily influenced by the synth chord structure and groove of late 80's dance sensations Technotronic, South of Roosevelt brings a vibrant new edge to this inspiring sound, using the technology of today to reinvent and relive the sound of yesterday. The fusion of new and old is a perfect blend that will be relevant on any dance floor for many years to come. Always nostalgic of early Green Velvet records (how could one not be), the final EP track titled 'Chicago Style' attempts to channel some of that dirty minimalism and jackin swag Green Velvet became famous for. The simple grimy sound is a fun new approach from the SoRo sonic palette, sure to exhilarate the eardrums and titillate the senses of any house music junkie. So as the magic carpet ride of Chicago House Music takes off yet again, will you be able to ready to dance?
