Compiled by house DJ and producer Richard Sen, This Ain't Chicago: The Underground Sound of UK House & Acid 1987–1991 is a deep dive into the homegrown British response to the Chicago and Detroit sounds that sparked a global dance music revolution. Released on Strut in 2012, this collection shines a light on a vibrant but often overlooked corner of electronic music history, gathering tracks from the fertile late-'80s and early-'90s UK underground scene.
What sets this compilation apart is its deliberate focus on the forgotten and the obscure — bypassing well-known anthems in favor of unearthing the raw, energetic tracks that capture the true spirit of the era. Sen's curatorial instincts are sharp, presenting a cohesive and authentic portrait of UK house and acid that rewards both longtime fans of the genre and curious newcomers eager to explore its roots.
