South of Roosevelt

South of Roosevelt, or “SoRo” as sometimes tagged, is held down by 2 individuals brought close through their love of House Music and Underground Chicago nightlife. Formed in late 2008, their Jackin/Swing sound was an instant hit in the Chicago House scene, playing numerous loft parties, raves, and the hottest clubs across the Chi-town area code.

Turning the page in 2009, Kris and JP put their knowledge of Chicago House to task creating their first release titled “The Thank You EP” (Homeschooled Music). Landing in Traxsource and Stompy’s Top 20, the release was an instant hit and became what was the catalyst for their current success. Their latest releases include the #1 Smash Hit “Over Me” and #5 Traxsource Chart Topper “Gimme A Taste” (Guesthouse), as well as Traxsource Top 20 hit “The Road” (Coyote Cutz) and many more.

Now, with over 30 releases and 15 Top Ten hits, they are now being recognized as one of the best new coming House acts around the globe. They have been featured in 5 Magazine’s 5 year anniversary edition alongside legendary DJ/Producers like Frankie Knuckles, Maurice Joshua, Ron Carroll, and Paul Johnson, discussion panels, as well as numerous radio shows around the globe and clubs from Boston to San Fransisco.

With a release and tour schedule that continues to grow, South of Roosevelt will remain an undeniable force in the underground for many years to come.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
