I wanted to create a thread on Chicago House to find some gems
I'm pretty new to the genre, the first bit I picked up was the Virgo reissue LP, then Tevo Howard - Move, Mr Fingers - Slam Dance, and the "Beat That Bitch With A Bat" Trax repress,
This Steve Poindexter bit has really floored me though, feeling the mad percussion
And this one is also a favourite
I'm interested to know what everyone else rates in Chicago House, so post up your gems

for acid house, the best one (in my opinion) is the Jack The Box mix Hardfloor did for the X-Mix series back in 1998. it's amazing.
on a less strictly acid tip, the Dave Clarke compo Back in the Box is quite tasty.
as far as web mixes go, Chrissy Murderbot's Chicago house mix is well worth checking out
