Been listening to nothing but footwork the past couple days, really getting obsessed with it again.

HUGE mixtape by RP Boo. If you like footwork, you need this in your life:

Eski-juke!

I couldn't never get into this.

We could do with a thread name change really - The Juke Thread or something, as its purely an appreciation thread now - mods get on it!

might have already posted it, but if not : buy this artifact lp is so good http://localactionrecords.bigcartel.com ... gne-tracks
not straight juke but definite flavourrrs

EAN, Om Unit...Cosmic Bridge....killing it.

Lovely bit of self promo and two mixes for you guys!

Jon1st on circadian rhythms with an expected but great blend of footwork.

Danny Scrilla for electronic beats



and here is the blog I have just started writing about this sort of stuff

^ did your other youtube channel get killed already?

It suprises me that people are calling this Om Unit/Danny Scrilla/Cosmic Bridge sound footwork... Most of it's got more in common with Drum & Bass than it has footwork. They do have a few bits that are footworky admittedly.

My other channel started by accident really and didn't really have good focus or direction. I thought a fresh start would probably be better to firstly not have to deal with the threat of a label deciding to pull another one of my videos (I am on two strikes), I make sure to get clearing from the artists now before uploading tracks so that won't be a problem again. Secondly having consistent branding means that it helps get my name out there a bit more.

Just announced on twitter,

HYP001 Kode9 Xingfu Lu / Khan. Due out on Vinyl and Digital on 29th April

I think that numbering should be HYP010?

I don't think it's footwork in the traditional sense but it's not dnb in the traditional sense either. People just call it footwork because they have nothing better to describe it as (and this is why the area is so exciting).

Visionist has a release forthcoming on LIt City Trax, something I didn't expect to hear today..

ive always called the chicago stuff footwork and the om unit stuff juke

seemd to be the norm i thought

Two new tracks:

... nah. most of the stuff om unit makes has pretty much nothing in common with juke/footwork.

i quite like that rashad & addison groove tune. and the kode9 one, although some of these really high pitched noises he's getting into aren't very pleasing to my ears.

yea not at all similar except the drum structure and tempo

only the basis for nearly every other variety of dance music

fueled by the frustration and pissed offness from that i cant go see addison groove play at a warehouse party tonight, i now present you my latest track

I dunno I feel like not including Om Unit et. all. into the Juke/Footwork crowd is akin to how people looked at Burial as not being dubstep, he probably isn't really dubstep if you follow the strict definition but by being so associated with it he has helped keep the genre diverse and open to experimentation and not just snare on three and wobbles. It goes to show that Juke and Footwork doesn't have to live in an exclusive tight box of 808s and chopped vox. Like most genres its the people that are somewhat on the outside of the strict definition of the genre that really bring that forward thinkingness that moves a genre forward. IMHO.

There's 3 Om Unit tunes. I'm sorry but if you think any of them sound even remotely like juke/footwork your are off your fucking nut.

He has got some stuff based on that sound obviously (the Dream Continuum/Phillip D Kick stuff) but most of the stuff he makes has absolutely nothing to do with footwork.

yeah i've thought hes much closer to drum n bass and hip hop if anything, more like doing a completely different thing.

Yeah, I think that is a good point actually, it's not dnb, footwork or hip hop, but it has elements of all those things.
