And although several artists contributed to this advanced genre of dance music. There were 5 individuals who laid some serious groundwork: The Hot Mix 5...the premiere dj team on earth, that made Chicago the House Music Captial of the world and molded the lifestyle as we know it today. They set the standard for all others to follow; pioneering many of the turntable tactics that have influenced many the best dj's in the world to this day, and spread the word H O U SE to the masses on the Saturday Live ain't no jive Chicago dance party on 102.7 WBMZ now known as V103.
