I would love to see Rashad and Spinn, could be on the top of my list right now.

do they beatmatch like dance djs or slam between cuts like hip hop djs?

I wandered off from juke, is there anything new I should be aware of

am i mental or does dj clent's 'dj clent #1' sample sun city girls?

Saw Rashad & Spinn the other weekend, its was fucking ace. Love the Rashad album too, its maybe my favourite of the year so far.

(dj footmerc - gregory hines discovers distal + machinedrum)

did this footwork-y remix awhile back, out today:

Will take a listen. Btw Jordan I never said how much I enjoyed Chants, it's pretty awesome. Been popping up on shuffle a fair bit but I still need to listen to it through properly.

thanks man! <3

oops apparently i posted that prematurely, had to take it down for a bit

The DJ Rashad album is also one of my favorite albums of the year thus far but I really wish they would release a physical. Is anyone here going to Juke Fest 2012 at Smartbar (http://smartbarchicago.com/juke-fest-2012) and can help me get in as I am only 20?

whoa. wish i could go to that (ie 'wish i wasn't so lazy about driving 2.5 hours and going to shows in general').

my ersatz footwork track is back up.

Can't stop listening to this fella.

now what? I'm still quite enjoying the junglefoot hybrid stuff, as well as Rashad, but there's not that much replay value on a lot of juke I guess...

Not sure I've heard a better album than the DJ Rashad this year/decade. Damn.

"DANCE FU" on netflix directed by cedric the entertainer + starring kel of kenan and... is absolutely terrible but i pretty much died at his nickname being "chicago" and it having FOOTWORK BATTLES, there was even actual footwork played when they didn't just show some people dancing and replaced the tracks with trap

a quick footwork mix I made a couple of months back...

The Young Smoke album (Space Zone) that came out today is quite good. Up there with Traxman and Rashad.

I'm listening to it now actually. This is total sci-fi footwork - like a late '70s space shooter in footwork form. WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

It seems a lot more polished than the Rash and Trax albums, not in a bad way or in a Machinedrummy way, just a bit more fleshed out.

Very very good though so far.

into it

ya

I started a thread on it

http://boomkat.com/downloads/585804-dj-spinn-teklife-vol-2-what-you-need

this thread should have its title amended to incorporate footwork really.

I'm so Teklife/I'm so Teklife/I'm so Teklife/I'm so Teklife

^in my head most days

Haven't given the Spinn album a listen to yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be a bit back-to-basics compared to the huge leaps made by Rashad and especially Young Smoke this year. I can't say I was hugely floored by Traxman's album - did you guys like it?

i'm curious to hear if/how much rashad stretches out on the hyperdub ep.

had this remix come out last week, the whole ep is one some 160 bpm craziness:

this traxman remix of trans europe express is pretty hilarious

comp w/rashad, spinn, manny, etc

Rashad's Rollin' EP is AMAZING; "Let it Go" is obv one of the best tracks of the year so far.

It is really really good indeed
