About the Music
House music was born in Chicago, rising from the ashes of disco in the late 1970s. As disco began to fade after the infamous “Disco Demolition Night,” underground DJs in Chicago reinvented the dancefloor experience. Inspired by disco’s energy but stripped of its pop polish, they built a new sound — deeper bass lines, hypnotic repetition, mechanical grooves, and often no vocals at all.
In the early 1980s, the city’s clubs, especially those within the gay scene, became the birthplace of this movement. DJs like Frankie Knuckles stitched records together with “slow mixes,” blending beats into endless, pulsing nights of dance. By the mid-80s, this raw underground sound had spread far beyond Chicago, and by 1988, major labels were signing House artists — but the heart of the genre will always belong to its Chicago roots.
House is more than music — it’s culture, unity, and freedom on the dancefloor. Our Chicago House Collection celebrates that legacy, keeping the movement alive with bold designs for true House Heads.
