Brighter days was first released in 1992, and has been a Chicago house staple since the early 90s. House music , high-tempo electronic dance music, has been a Chicago cultural project starting a new wave of Black dance music from Techno to Jersey Club. House music like its sister Techno has its roots in Black queer realities and has been used in queer spaces like ballrooms, skating rinks, and queer clubs. These spaces allow Black queer youth and adults to charter new possibilities and escape through music. In Cajmere’s hit track he begins by crying “let me out,” this cry is emblematic of the call for freedom that is embedded within house music. House music like many other Black genres is about subversing the violence and death that make-up life in the anti-black world. The track is fusion of upbeat sounds and futuristic tech based beats create a queer sonics. This queer sonics is deviant to the the traditional instruments and conventions brought to music prior to the 80s. House music like black life is constituted by a system of ups and downs, bringing switches between high energy and rest time.
