Today, no matter where you are in the world, you can turn on a
radio and hear the echoes and influences of Chicago house music. Do
You Remember House? tells a comprehensive story of the emergence,
and contemporary memorialization of house in Chicago, tracing the
development of Chicago house music culture from its beginnings in
the late '70s to the present. Based on expansive research in
archives and his extensive conversations with the makers of house
in Chicago's parks, clubs, museums, and dance studios, author Micah
Salkind argues that the remediation and adaptation of house music
by crossover communities in its first decade shaped the ways that
Chicago producers, DJs, dancers, and promoters today re-remember
and mobilize the genre as an archive of collectivity and
congregation. The book's engagement with musical, kinesthetic, and
visual aspects of house music culture builds from a tradition of
queer of color critique. As such, Do You Remember House? considers
house music's liberatory potential in terms of its genre-defiant
repertoire in motion. Ultimately, the book argues that even as
house music culture has been appropriated and exploited, the
music's porosity and flexibility have allowed it to remain what
pioneering Chicago DJ Craig Cannon calls a 'musical Stonewall' for
queers and people of color in the Windy City and around the world.
