Thread just got serious

[leatherfacekap]

From a production standpoint, juke has got to be the most inspiring, deceptively difficult, and completely fun music I've heard in awhile.

1. The use of toms are fucking sick. They add texture. I know ..... sonic texture? Yes!!!

2. The raw abuse of vocal samples is amazing. Down to the syllable, cut, re-structured, and used in innovative ways. This is no, "Lemme find the perfect sample to put at the best, ironic time." More like, "This shit sounds ill. Lemme chop it up, drop drop drop it up, and pitch up or down to create an entirely different instrument.

3. That sub is sick. If you haven't got to hear juke with some serious sub, I think you'll miss out on a lot of the appeal.

4. The snares are ridiculous. Placement and structure doesn't seem like it should work but somehow magically it does!

5. There is no mistaking how important the relationship between dancer and DJ/Producer is. There is no juke w/o footwurkers. The structures have evolved through the repeated requests of dancers. It wasn't just producers sitting around thinking about how weird for weird sake they could be with their music. And I really appreciate a form of DANCE music that remembers how important DANCE is.

It's not for everyone....but man oh man I hope it gets big enough so that I don't have to go to Chicago to actually see footwurkers in their prime. Planes are expensive, y'all. I just wanna see it where I live instead of always watching clips on youtube and hoping it comes to my town. *sniffles*

Supreme Word !

ok so i guess theres some well-versed jukeheads (is that a term? lol) here, can anyone tell me at least some of the tunes in the first 4 minutes of this video? loving the vibes there, it's probably the reverb of the room where it's recorded but it has that awesome ambient feel to it, add to that the vocals and the constant BOOOMBOOOM-assault....

trippy as fuck, i didn't feel juke before i saw this video. now i'm all excited about it.

How would you go about mixing juke with dubstep obviously not walking about Footcrab but Rashad and Nate? The tempos are so different, my guesses are you couldn't without just pausing.

Apologises if this is a total newbie question but only recently started learning about mixing and wondering if its worth picking up some footwork records that I like if I can even put them into my mixes.

you have to get creative and use blends, cuts, fade outs or effects if possible. or if you have any ambient records or fun children's records, you know? for examples of people mixing multiple genres and bpm's check http://thisisluckyme.com/html/1music/mixtapes.html or you can just use records that slowly go higher in bpm as your mix goes on like how addison groove did for his fact mix

Ambient records is a pretty good idea, mix dubstep into that and then out into juke? As for effects and stuff, I've only got a fairly basic standard turntable set up...nothing fancy, so effects I couldn't use since my mixer doesn't have them. I was thinking of going with the slowly lower my tempo down but from 130-140 to 80-90 bpm is a loooong way down.

if you check the girl unit xlr8r mix he does it. he counts juke at 160 not 80 and he slowly revs the tempo. he starts at about 135 and ends up at 160 on a dj nate tune. a lot of the future bass stuff is down in the 130's but if you just want to mix out of dubstep you could even pitch up your first tune to 143 or something. you'd only have a range of 17 bpm to rev up and that's not much. question is can you find tracks that fit your style in the 150's?

How do you go about having juke at 160 compared to 80?

[fractal]

juke is around 160bpm, halftime would be considered 80 i guess

i'm not a big fan of the 150 bpm range so i usually use an ambient record or a childrens record, like the music machine or summat...

ie: as the last notes of a garage track die down you can hear children laughing and a girl asks, "what's next mr music?" a man's voice responds, "you'll just have to wait and see...." drop the new beat

i used to spin a lot of hip hop in the 90's, and the bpms are rarely the same, so i guess i'm not bothered to fuck around

It's just doubled. It's all relative but I've found in dance music people like to think of beats in the doublish range (if you think of Juke as 80 then you in turn need to think of dubstep as beling 70 bpm and if dubstep is 140 then juke is 160). If you stretched 140 to 80 it would indeed sound really odd, so you make a much smaller jump up and it's way easier.
