5 Magazine marks our ten year anniversary, with a look back through a decade of covering Chicago’s House Music scene and a look ahead by 12 industry insiders.

Find the answers to these and a look back at our history and the evolution of the scene over the last 10 years in a retrospective inside this issue.

And we also look forward: we asked 12 music industry insiders what the scene will look like 3, 5 or 10 years into the future. Joe Shanahan, Christian Urich, Eli Goldstein (Soul Clap), Mark Farina, Steve “Silk” Hurley, Tommie Sunshine, Joey Negro, Mark de Clive-Lowe, Rich Medina, Rees Urban, Roy Davis Jr and Terry Hunter gaze into the crystal ball and tell us.
