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*

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

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

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