are there any documentaries about footwork/juke? i have one juke dvd dj slugo sent me, but its prob more of a risky roadz type thing rather than a documentary.

Audio on dutty artz

Wills Glassspiegel sent me this after I ran into him on the street and remarked how much I enjoyed the radio broadcast he worked on for Afropop about the black American roots of house and techno here.

I’ll let him speak:

“Thought you and Dutty Artz might be interested in this interview tape I recorded in Chicago with Traxman, RP Boo, DJ Earl and Boylan. I think everyone has been trying to describe “footwork” and no one quite gets to it like these guys. In publishing this tape (which i did with their permsision), I was reminded of Lomax’s old oral history interviews with blues musicians. So important for musicians to tell their own stories.”

Yup, I agree. I always prefer to listen to music talk about their own work and scenes as opposed to various usually distant journalistic interpreters. Listen, learn and enjoy.

Half of you make it to easy for me to get under your skin. I just offer a look into the reality of the hierarchy that exists. Sorry if you don't like it. There's no bias. It'll make sense soon enough - I don't need to say anything more. The music and dancing will speak for itself. Just keep in mind that the music came from Ghettohouse and that RP Boo, Rashad, Spinn, Traxman, Clent, Gant, Tre are the real DJs still going strong after crafting the sound. All this Twhy, Roc, Smoke stuff is a whole other breed of trax. I can hear a clear difference. It doesn't matter if you do.

where will this come out and will it see a vinyl release?

Lit City. January. No vinyl as it's over 20 tracks. There will be vinyl in the future though.

Working on a free something before the year ends. More soon.

This track, DJ RASHAD & DJ MANNY 'Ooh Babby' is forthcoming on Lit City.

I love this video. Who are the dancers involved? Do you ever get actual fisticuffs at these things, it looks like a fight is gonna break out at a couple of points here.

RE: 139 at BGZ that's Rashad, Von, Jermaine (Tribe) vs Kenny, Basic, Kendal (FwKZ)

and altho there's definitely tension, fights are very infrequent. pretty much everyone knows how to conduct themselves so it's not a problem.

just sayin...why would ppl in the uk NOT be getting really excited about this sound right now.

oh my fucking god

Me and Manny made a version of Firefly and What (sampling both Wonder n Wiley)...and did a few T2 tracks over again...here's one of the T2 ones for DL MANNY n J-CUSH - FILTH.mp3

how did that come about?

I lived in London for 10 years. After Trax, Grime is my biggest crutch. Especially the classic shyt.

The track before 2:30 is DJ Rashad 40Cal. The track after is DJ Earl. If anyone needs the name I'll ask him I don't know off the top of my head.

i know i should be excited about this but it doesnt sound juke/footwork enough imo. the t2 filth track is alright though.

these are more on the juke than footwork side though.

He's still around for sure, he just gets salty when he plays his tunes and dancers hate on his tracks, and says he's gonna quit making footwork tunes, starts making acid house, then starts making footwork tracks again.

That boy can dance too
