Juke / Footwork

[abZ]

Imagine doing to a dubstep show where the dj talked about how into dubstep he was, but didn't know Mala, and played nothing but Mt. Eden and shit youtube remixes all night - it would be sad and almost offensive, right?

Nah I'd call that "A standard dubstep night in the States ca.2010" I don't want to have to paint in broad strokes like this and I wish it wasn't true, but all across the states--sad to say its the case, more often than not.

I am not nearly as traveled as you but that is perfectly believable to me. It is that way in Pittsburgh. The dj's here don't even pretend to know/appreciate the history, they don't like the old stuff at all.. or the "chill" stuff because it's chill/downtempo if it doesn't have huge annoying midrange basslines, risers, kick drum rolls and of course the snare on the 3

You know how much Id pay for a good night though? Know we arent the only ones in this corner of the state sick of the state of bro either.

Well Joe Nice was here I think. If that hasn't happened yet, I'm going. No one in the country gives a fuck about Joe and that is a cryin fuckin shame.

Indeed it is, the man is a true ambassador and will forever have my respect. Once I turn the big 21 and make it out stateside, hes the first DJ I am going to try and see.

And yeah, ive checked out loads of mixes as I found out early on in my digging into the scene, (just like I try and get people into dubstep to do... Just like I did when I got into dubstep 2 years after its birth...) I soon found out its culture is a lot to do with the dancing and djing which I think is one of the best vibes, ever!

I don't think theres anything with finding out about a genre or era late, as long as you respect & find out about its roots.

Joe Nice kills it.
Demigod status.

It's the same in AZ whenever I play over there. The buzz is always about Skrillex, Dieselboy, Borgore etc etc.

..is a Legend. Can’t stand D&B anymore but still see his shows everytime he’s in town. Rock Show status. Lights, pyrotechnics, its insane...

[abZ]

Dieselnuts is a local boy for me. Back in 96/97 we followed him every show he could do no wrong. Things started going downhill in like 2000 tho. Not his sets are a joke for meant least. I think even it's finally worn off too. Not as many people come out. Who wants to hear a mixture of potsnpans and clownstep?

Nobody. Its why D&B is dead. I guess I go to a Dieselboy/PlanetoftheDrums show out of sheer habit/nostalgia. You can’t beat those intros when they turn out the lights and that movie guy is talking… and it namedrops YOUR city… that’s pure showmanship right there… sends chills down you…

If you guys love juke/footwork, I think you'll enjoy the soundcloud stream of DJ Rashad's new album on Factmag.

so anyone has production-oriented considerations to share on the subject? :S

[Electric_Head]

I have nothing positive to say and I know I should just keep quite but damn, Juke just looks stupid.
It`s like when you`re a kid going to your first party or something and no-one can dance.
Some dude pipes up how good he can dance and then begins to show off his footwork in pretty much the same way the videos just showed.
Looks like rythmnless Lord of the dance, without kilts and swords.

have u ever hit a legit juke party? or was that a suburban basement underage pepsi and chips reunion?

(no diss, just askin)

i feel like juke and jit are both very steady dance movements, they have foundation, styles and establised communities.. hwv, i think ur touching on to something... it their truest forms, those styles are harder to dance then the average house 44 beat... and thus might (not necess.) be less pop-exploitable.

[howse]

heres a mix i did recently. i know this thread is for discussing the genre, not as much posting, but hope people like it.

I hear you brother, no debating it.
I come from South Africa, we don`t ever see that style of dance except on TV or youtube.
The closest we come to that is deep taxi house and the pansula style of dance.
Similar foot and leg movements with a lot of jumps and ass wiggles.

[street_astrologist]

howse, got a tracklist for that mix? nice one!

eta: i see the list on your soundcloud

[Electric_Head]

you put your left foot in, you put your left foot out and shake it all about.
Do the Hokey Pokey and turn-around, that`s what it`s all about

[Ldizzy]

dope mix... i really find this stuff inspiring...

as i have a pretty sick spongebob it makes me very keen about producing..

anyone around here produces it!?!? i mean, focusing on it ...

[ddia]

i make a few juke/funky, on my soundcloud, link in my sig.

i'd love to hit a proper juke night, even tho its meant for footworking, i think its brilliant to get a groove on to. mixing it is also really fun to do, splicing in a few hip hop and even jungle numbers, can make a mix really progressive
