Footcrabs and Work Thems

@MTR: curious as to what your opinions are of sully's latest juke inspired tunes? (off of the second to last dusk & blackdown)

I quite liked them. I prefer his other stuff, though.

word. i would have to say i am more interested in these than his other tunes, atm. He really captured my favorite parts of the sound and gave them a sully flex.... He's a don however you look at it, great producer.

Yeah, juke is the future.

Nah. It's the present.

I never really got into juke. There's the odd good tune, but most of it is awful. That sound is gonna be the new wobble soon. So many people starting to do it. Like with neon, pitch bent synths.

there really isn't very much exposure to proper juke for yall over there... it's not on youtube, really. plus it's been around for sooooo long that i would say it's almost the past in some respects! i think the european take on it is interesting, but if people aren't footworking or juking on the floor, it's more of a novelty and the major point of this music is being left out...

this.
juke has been here in chicago for near a decade. i was really surprised to hear european folk talking about this as the new sound when i was over there- shit, even within the united states, juke has never become the next big thing. i think it's really subject to adaptations for it to get to the level that everyone's talking about, and that is pretty damn far from the back alleys of the south side where footwork started.
not saying that it's only good if it sticks to its roots, just saying, juke is not next level IMO.

Is the gradual European adoption of this sound akin to the bros taking over dubstep? Food for thought.
