Oh yeah, it was the Bismark Pavilion hotel I think which had a club in it, and Louis was the resident DJ in there... I remember reading it had a huge following at one point.
There's a live mix from the club at the deephousepage.com, at page 3, mix nr.350.
It think it is hard to deny that Detroit techno learnt a lesson or two >from the brotha's in the Windy City.
Remember Derrick once mentioned that he wanted to move to Chicago just so that he could listen to WBMX/Hot mix 5 all the time!!!:):):) (To which Juan A. apparently commented that they played "fag music" in there..........humph!!! oh boy:/)
Chicago was also a very important promoting-channel (in the U.S.) that helped to broke a lot of the Detroit music that was released, all the May classics for example.
