I'm sure most rap producers in Chicago have dabbled in footwork/juke, but out of the ones that really made their name on it, I can't think of any others (besides DJ Nate) who abandoned it?

some of them used to do it primarily but i'm sure veering to rap was specifically bc they hadn't made their names as dance producers
im not saying the culture is gone at all, i know ppl who still do it, just that the rap gold rush def shifted some of the zeitgeist away for awhile

That makes sense.
Re: the DJ Taye record, all the DJ Paypal collabs are the highlights imo.

Whoops meant to post in this thread
If you didn’t go to parties at The Rink, House of Kicks, Dolton Expo, Markham Skating Rink, 5th City, Paul Hall or the Route then you wouldn’t understand this thread...— AshleySherelle (@AshleySherelle) March 23, 2018
Good twitter thread of how this stuff was experienced

Nice. I didn't hear any of this until post-Bangs & Works, but I love hearing this era of tracks.

Recently thought of it when hearing this Scratch DVA track (takes the same rhythm and slows it down 30bpm, I'm sure it's referencing this music)https://scratchadva.bandcamp.com/track/square-off

1) DJ Nate returns to footwork!https://hyponik.com/news/planet-mu-welcomes-back-dj-nate-for-new-album-take-off-mode/
2) His rise was slowed after he was paralysed from the neck down two years ago...
!
3) ...an accident which he’s recently recovered from.

It's not my business but I have so many medical questions based on that press release (mostly because my partner is a PT and I hear about this stuff a lot). Like, clearly he wasn't literally 'paralyzed from the neck down' since he was making beats and doing physical therapy?
But whatever, hoping for the best for him.

DJ Nigga Fox just dropped an LP and it's about as good as his EPs in my layman's estimation.
