Chicago house music formed in the 70’s as a Black & queer underground dance movement #housemusic groovy archives 2026-03-18 | In the 1970s, Chicago promoter Robert Williams recruited the legendary Bronx-born Frankie Knuckles to start a club called the Warehouse in Chicago for predominantly Black gay men. But Knuckles wasn't the first choice. Williams wanted DJ Larry Levan, a magical music conductor, producer, and thought leader in designing one of the most pristine sound systems in New York City. Levan was the minister of music for the predominantly Black and Brown gay patrons at the famous membership-based Paradise Garage club. Williams traveled from Chicago frequently to hear him spin. And Williams wasn't the only supporter of Levan's willing to travel. Among the thousands of attendees who danced at the Paradise Garage between 1976 and 1987, you could find Eartha Kitt, Madonna, Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Grace Jones partying with the same fierce focus. Still, Levan passed on the opportunity to leave the Paradise Garage for Chicago. Instead, Frankie Knuckles accepted the offer and left New York City in the late ’70s. Shortly after, he became the official resident DJ for Robert Williams's Warehouse parties.While locating the origin of any genre of music is slippery and complex, plenty of evidence suggests that the early-1980s underground club scene in Chicago is where the term house found a home. Frankie Knuckles, who was eventually crowned the Godfather of House Music, recalled seeing the term in a record store window for the first time between 1980 and 1981. Incidentally, around the same time, the first AIDS cases were reported in Los Angeles in five young gay men. When Knuckles asked a friend from Chicago what house music meant, the friend explained how the record store was advertising music that could be heard at the Warehouse parties where Frankie Knuckles spun. House music then referred to the disco, gospel, funk, and soul Knuckles played at his party.

Bob Power was a legendary musician, producer, and engineer who helped shape 90’s/2000’s hip-hop/R&B. groovy archives 2026-03-04 | Bob Power was a musician, producer, and engineer who sat behind the boards on classics by A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Erykah Badu, The Roots, and D’Angelo. He helped shape the sound of hip-hop and R&B in the early Nineties, especially when it came to plumbing deeper drum and bass grooves. He engineered the album that arguably defined this aesthetic, A Tribe Called Quest’s The Low End Theory, while his credits also included Badu’s Baduizm, D’Angelo’s Brown Sugar, De La Soul’s De La Soul Is Dead, and several Roots albums, including Do You Want More?!!!??! and Things Fall Apart. RIP to one of the quiet architects of the sound we love. #musiccurator #bobpower #atcq #erykahbadu #musicenthusiast
20 years ago, Soul Train came to an end. Started by Don Cornelius, the show began in 1970 in the Chi groovy archives 2026-02-25 | 20 years ago, Soul Train came to an end. Soul Train, one of the longest-running syndicated shows in television history, began in 1970 on the Chicago television station WCIU-TV when there were few outlets for popular Black culture throughout the United States. It was a radical move for the time, exhibiting the cultural perspectives of African American music, dance, and fashion clothing on television. Soul Train allowed the world to view African Americans’ many faces and elements and their unique experiences in American society. Each episode of Soul Train would be closed with founder Don Cornelius reciting the words, “Love, peace, and soul!”
Baltimore Club music began in Baltimore in the late 80s early 90s. groovy archives 2026-02-19 | Baltimore Club music began in Baltimore in the late 80's early 90's. Baltimore club music was pioneered by DJ's such as Scottie B, Frank Ski, Shawn Caesar, Rod Lee and DJ Technics. The genre blends house music, hip-hop and breakbeat and combines repetitive, looped vocal snippets similar to bounce music. The tracks contain chopped up drum breaks such as "Think" by Lynn collins and "Sing Sing" by Gaz. DJ's such as DJ K-Swift, the club queen, brought the music to the radio and helped it gain wider recognition. The music eventually traveled up to Philly and Jersey, where new genres emerged.
