Element One proudly presents its latest release, Deep Chicago House.

Step into the birthplace of House music, where deep grooves, hypnotic rhythms, and soulful melodies laid the foundation for an era of dance music that still resonates today. Deep Chicago House captures the raw warmth and emotional depth of the early underground scene, blending deep basslines, rich chord stabs, and rolling drum machine patterns with the unmistakable atmosphere of dimly lit clubs and late-night sessions. Inspired by pioneers like Mr. Fingers (Larry Heard), Ron Trent, and Chez Damier, this pack delivers the essence of Deep House in its purest form.

Deep Chicago House is packed with rolling drum grooves, warm and resonant basslines, lush pads, soulful keys, and expressive lead melodies - each element infused with the classic character of Chicago’s golden era.

Within Deep Chicago House, you’ll find:
