Show Notes
Chicago is the home of house, with the genre’s creation starting in the Southside 40 years ago. While the genre has spread across the world, its roots remain strong in Chicago. In the early hours of the morning on Chicago's northside, a sunrise set is being played. At the edge of Montrose Pier, afro-groove house music is played to over a crowd of 100 people, looking to start their day with house beats, instead of ending it. WBEZ’s Hailey Bosek has more.
