Nathaniel Pierre Jones, better known by his stage name DJ Pierre, is an American DJ and performer of house music based in Chicago.
 He helped to develop the house music subgenre of acid house, as member of Phuture, whose 1987 EP "Acid Tracks", is considered the first acid-house recording.
 Allmusic.com calls Jones a crucial DJ and the production wizard partly responsible for the development of Chicago acid-house.
 Jones' first single, "Generate Power," became standard fare for scores of producers during the next few years.
 Philippe Renaud, a journalist for "La Presse" in Montreal, states that the term "acid house" was coined in Chicago in 1987 to describe the sound of the Roland 303 bass machine, which made its first significant recording appearance on Phuture's Acid Trax (DJ Pierre) in that year.
A native of the “Uptown” and “North Pole” neighborhoods of Chicago’s North side, E.C. Illa (also known as E.C. & WhiteFolks) began his recording career in 1990 as a member of The Ill State Assassins, a rap and production group that spawned several successful nationally-recognized artists such as Twista, The Legendary Traxster, Toxic and others.
 After his music began circulating throughout Chicago’s inner-city and college radio stations abroad, E.C. Illa started solidifying himself as one of the few well-respected white rap artists of an era in rap history when most non-black rappers were quickly dismissed.
 Having grown up within Chicago’s infamous gang culture, Illa’s fluently-street music was able to reach far beyond previous attempts by other white rap artists to be embraced as legitimate or “real.”
 E.C.Illa’s vinyl-only debut was an EP titled “The Invisible Man” (1992) released on Mob City Records, an independent label owned by Dirk van den Heuvel, a DJ for Northwestern University’s “Street Beat” radio show.
 Mob City records would go on to release Illa’s first full-length album titled “Ill State of Mind” (1993), as well as other selected 12” singles from those releases.

Charles Chambers, better known by his stage name DJ Funk, is a Chicago house DJ who pioneered the ghetto house subgenre of house music.
 Through the 1990s, he built a regional reputation in the Chicago-Detroit region and in the Midwest rave scene.
 His 1999 album "Booty House Anthems" was distributed nationally and sold over one million copies.
 He founded the Funk Records label in 2006.
