\u201cMuch like soccer, House music is a universal language spoken and understood by all,” shares Chicago House AC Chief Operating Officer, Night Train Veeck. \u201cIt has been such a special and humbling opportunity to be able to collaborate, from our team\u2019s very inception, with House Music legends Marshall, Vince, and Chuck in creating this track. We are proud to play a small part in honoring the House music community, and the beautiful city that created it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The track\u2019s producer, Vince Lawrence and writer\/performer Chuck \u201cThe Voice\u201d Roberts, are two of the most iconic artists when it comes to Chicago House music, which was born in Chicago in the 1980\u2019s. Both artists have lived and breathed the genre since it first appeared in venues around the Windy City. The duo collaborated with Chicago\u2019s new pro soccer team to produce \u2018This Is Chicago House\u2019 in conjunction with Slang Music Group. The track speaks to every moment in the history of the global House Music family. From legacy to future possibilities, Vince and Chuck focus on the beat, groove and hook, in a way that defines what it means to \u201cbe house\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHouse Music is the story of hard working Black entrepreneurs yearning to create joy in their community, young Black teens inventing their own \u2018summer jobs\u2019 when there were few to be found, inclusivity for every type of human and so much more,\u201d<\/em> explains Slang Music Group\u2019s Vince Lawrence, who wrote and produced \u2018This Is Chicago House\u2019 inspired by Chicago House AC. \u201cHouse Music is ours, it’s for us, started in our city, but we share it with the world for all to enjoy. House Music is the groove we started right here on the Southside, but get little credit for these days. This is Chicago House. There is nothing like it anywhere.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Since adopting the track in August 2021, Chicago House AC has found creative ways to integrate the team\u2019s anthem into many different facets of Chicago\u2019s new sports brand. \u2018This Is Chicago House\u2019 is the music fans hear during matches at SeatGeek Stadium, in team videos and social media content, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two things that bring people together, more than anything, are soccer and music. This is what makes Chicago House music and Chicago House AC special,\u201d<\/em> explains Chicago House AC midfielder and Team Captain, Drew Conner. \u201cTo have our team named after House music and it\u2019s birthplace was something that immediately drew me and many others to the club. After hearing our team\u2019s anthem \u2018This is Chicago House\u2019, I knew it was something special that both music and soccer fans could rally behind. The energy in this song is infectious and the message is clear. House is all about inclusivity, self-love and respect for others. Although the House music genre has spread all over the world, and split into many different sub-genres, this song is a reminder of where it all started. 10\/10 great walkout song.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
