Originating in the late 1970s, House Music launched Chicago front and center on the music scene. The House Masterclass experience includes an exclusive, in-room welcome amenity; a historian-led guided tour of Chicago’s most famous music house venues, including Gramophone Records and The Warehouse; luxury car service between all locations on the tour; and a private, in-studio mixing session with one of Chicago’s House Music pioneers, such as The Warehouse founder Robert Williams, internationally acclaimed producer and DJ Joe Smooth, or DJ Lady D, regarded as the “Queen of Chicago House Music.” Additionally, there’s an opportunity to have the mixing sessions broadcast live on Chicago’s legendary WNUR-89.3 FM station.
