We wanted to do something special for the Five Year Anniversary of 5 Magazine - something for the community, and something which has never been done before.

We wanted to create a multimedia project documenting the producers who are making Chicago move NOW, in 2010, with in-depth interviews and features. We wanted to include a track from these artists as well.

And we wanted to give it away completely free.

This is our and the contributing artists' (multiple Grammy®-nominated producers and remixers among them) gift to Chicago, and to DJs and fans around the world. It's a snapshot of the many styles of Chicago House Music in 2010, and a tribute to the producers that make it happen.

The complete list of contributing artists is available at 5chicago.com/theproject.

The Project launched on August 16, 2010, worldwide and available to everyone, at 5chicago.com/theproject. Two new videos and free tracks by the contributing artists will be updated every day, Monday through Friday, until we're through.
