The genesis of Chicago House is inextricably linked to the city’s thriving warehouse scene in the early 1980s. Far from a planned revolution, it was a organic reaction to the rising popularity of electronic music and the constraints placed upon DJs by radio stations. Frankie Knuckles, often heralded as the "Godfather of House," developed a distinctive sound at the Warehouse club – hence the name – mixing elements of soul, European electronic music like Kraftwerk, and soul music. First DJs began to innovate with drum machines, samplers, and synthesizers, creating repetitive rhythms and uncomplicated basslines that promoted dancing. This unpolished style quickly gained a devoted following, eventually spawning a whole unique genre that would permanently alter the landscape of international dance music.
