Chicago has a sound—and people like DJ Larry Hott helped shape the culture behind it.

In this episode of Chicago Blueprint, we sit down with DJ Larry Hott for a real conversation about his journey through music, how he got started DJing, the evolution of Chicago house music, and the impact that DJs have had on the city’s culture.

Larry takes us inside his story—from discovering his passion for DJing to developing his own sound and becoming part of Chicago's deep house and footwork culture. We also talk about what Chicago music means to him, the records and sounds that influenced him, and where the culture is headed next.

DJ Larry Hott has also released music including the Blazin’ EP, featuring tracks such as “Blazin’,” “Hott Magic,” “Shots Fired,” and “Bad.”

This isn't just a conversation about being a DJ.

It's about Chicago. Music. Culture. History. Influence. And the people who keep the sound alive.
