Two things we are famous for in Chicago is House music and deep dish pizza. Chicago house is more traditional sound that evolved from disco and soul music. Chicago Deep dish pizza is actually assembled 'upside-down' from their usual order on a pizza. The crust is covered with cheese (generally sliced mozzarella), followed by various meat options such as pepperoni or sausage, the latter of which is sometimes in a solid patty-like layer. Other toppings such as onions, mushrooms and bell peppers are then also used. An uncooked sauce, typically made from crushed canned tomatoes, is added as the finishing layer. It is typical that when ordered for carry-out or delivery, the pizza is uncut, as this prevents the oils from soaking into the crust, causing the pie to become soggy.
Chicago deep house is a name given to a sub-genre of house music coined in the mid- to late 1980s.The rationale behind "Deep" meaning that the more obscure the song, the "deeper" the DJ had to dig into his/her record collection to find that particular song.
"Deep House" were tracks that were not played on any of the radio stations house mixes in Chicago and you only heard these "Deep House" tracks in the clubs. There were also a lot of 'house' tracks that were played exclusively in Chicago only and the only way one could hear those tracks was to be in Chicago at anyone of those clubs. Also, DJ's such as Ron Hardy or Frankie Knuckles could re-edit a track to make it deeper than the original. For example, when Ron Hardy did the re-edit for Nightlife's Unlimited, "Peaches & Prune" that track (the re-edit) became a "Deep House" Chicago style house track. You only heard Ron Hardy's version at the Muzic Box and you could not hear or find the re-edit outside of Chicago during those times.
So just like I have have a taste and connection to Chicago Deep Dish pizza I also have a strong taste and connection to Deep House music. So I decided to cook up a bit to share with you my friends. Peace and love.
