The Chosen Few Old School Reunion Picnic 2012

Moshpix: Thousands of House Music fans converged on Jackson Park Saturday for the annual 22nd annual Chosen Few House Music Picnic. The annual festival, sometimes referred to as the Black Woodstock, is a celebration of the original house music -- the soulful version that derived from disco, was birthed in Chicago and kicked off numerous sub-genres. Revelers arrived as early as 6 a.m. to set up tents for an entire day of back-to-back sets by the legendary Chosen Few DJs.
