Anyone from Chicago who'd care to expand on this?

Subject: Re: Gilles Peterson
As a fellow Texan (a transplanted one), I notice a relatively unknown to
the list posting a question. So I ask is it really necessary to go off like
you did?! "Two-step" to me distinguishes another style of house music (and
it is very distinguishable) and though I'm not a proponent of commercial
categorization, in the context of his question, there was a distinction of
styles denoted. Why not answer the question if you've been privy to a
Gilles show, instead of all the profanity and other useless banter that
seems to me a bit of a personal concern, more than something of a
discussion.
I don't think of Gilles as a dj, but more of a selector. His range is
incredible and I think that through his mission we are all more educated
about a lost chapter of music history that fell between jazz, fusion, soul &
funk and had the ingredients of all, but somehow was lost and through his
efforts in the last decade and a half, has been re-discovered.
