Last night I passed a bar that was playing DJ Rashad with the windows open. I yelled "RIP DJ Rashad! Teklife for life!" through the window and a few people cheered. :)

there's a purism to the way everything comes together which makes it hit really hard & really cleanly

damn, earlier this year, before rashad died, massacooramaan played me the most amazing unreleased rashad track and I wish I had any idea what it was :(

"next life" comp on hyperdub is so excellent

Been fucking with the 2010 Rashad and Spinn xlr8r mix heavy lately

cant make my mind up about the next life comp. but i do like the last traxman album. and dj clent's roots of footwork mix goes stupidly hard.
― StillAdvance, Sunday, 16 November 2014 23:32 (nine years ago) link
come now, what's not to like about "next life"
― the late great, Sunday, 16 November 2014 23:49 (nine years ago) link
i didnt dislike it, and i may need to sit with it more, it just seemed to concentrate on a style of footwork that makes me a bit sleepy.

this looks interesting... hope they release it online or on dvd at some point.

Mixing with no headphones either.

I agree! I've barely been paying attention to juke this year but this compilation is sick

I saw Traxman and Litebulb the other weekend and watching Litebulb dance just made all this music *make sense* in a way that no quantity of Youtube videos ever could.

really excited to hear these.
idk why but a lot of the recent footwork hasnt done that much for me, unless its the core group of producers who have been repping it for years. not to be all purist, but im not that interested in what a lot of the international/non chicago producers are doing with it.

Really enjoying the DJ Manny & DJ Jalen "Cruise Control" EP. Creates a very somber mood while being incredibly fast paced and frenetic...something tells me that you might be able to describe much of this stuff that way but I love the way this album does it. "Tell the Truth" is so killer.

Hey everyone, please be advised that the Jlin album is completely fucking incredible.
― raih dednelb (The Reverend), Monday, 30 March 2015 03:41 (nine years ago) link
jlin easily one of the best footwork albums out there. she sounds so diff to everyone else too.
― StillAdvance, Monday, 30 March 2015 11:16 (nine years ago) link
Yeah it's reignited my faith in footwork as a progressive genre. great record
― why dont u say something or like just die (dog latin), Monday, 30 March 2015 11:38 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I feel like Double Cup and Space Zone are the only footwork full lengths I've enjoyed as much.
― raih dednelb (The Reverend), Tuesday, 31 March 2015 10:36 (nine years ago) link
space zone is underrated, double cup i feel is quite overrated. rashad should get plenty of props for all the groundwork hes laid for footwork, but as a producer, traxman is heaps more accomplished, and actually just plain better (sorry to speak ill of the dead!)
― StillAdvance, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 10:59 (nine years ago) link
the last track on jlin, with the 'im not one of your fans!' sample is brilliant. i love her samples.
Yeah, this Jlin album is destroying me.
― Tay-Tay Brooklynpants (Murgatroid), Thursday, 2 April 2015 16:29 (nine years ago) link
looking forward to checking it out. so far it sounds heavy on the 12/8 vibe.

Don't wanna be all 'female electronic artist' about this but I could hear and see (in the vid) shades of gazelle twin,fka twigs and Holly herndon in her sound. It's very much footwork, but I could play them all back to back and it wouldn't be that jarring, you know?
