House<\/a> music was born in Chicago<\/a>‘s underground club culture back in the late 1970s. Going on to shape electronic dance music for the next fifty years, one high ranking city official is now calling for a perpetual celebration of the city’s musical roots. Chicago city councilor Carlos Ramirez-Rosa has made the suggestion that the city host two 24-hour clubs dedicated to house music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing his thoughts on the matter to Twitter, Ramirez-Rosa has laid out how he thinks the clubs should happen. Tapping in to international markets, as many tourists visit Chicago hoping to spend the night dancing to house, Ramirez-Rosa suggests that licensees be required to support Chicago’s cultural heritage of house music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, clubs in Chicago typically close at 2 a.m., with some having the ability to remain open until 4 a.m. Ramirez-Rosa’s suggestion would allow clubs to operate for 24-hours, while educating club-goers on the origins of house music, and those who created it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House music was born in Chicago. I've met many tourists who are shocked to learn Chicago has no late-night House music clubs. We should consider allowing two 24-hour nightclubs (one downtown\/northside, one southside) to tap into the international market for Chicago House music.<\/p>— Ald.
