Listened to your recent mix, Jambie () - some good shit on there. Particularly at about 22 minutes in is a track somebody here was looking for a long time ago. Was in some battle video, sounds much better in your mix (guess it's been mastered somewhat by now). I believe it's EQ Why's - Grind. Shame I can't find it anywhere

its weird, but there arent that many mixes of this stuff online are there? (not a bad thing though, better than having a million to wade through)
this is pretty fantastic, from last year -

The Visionist EP comes out on LIT CITY today. Interesting to see them branching out as a label, but I'm left wondering why they're not concentrating on building up the juke/footwork catalogue, and can't say I'm overly excited by this preview track.

They're old now, but you just want something to listen to, you can still watch a few videos of Rashad & Spinn going back to back on Lit City's Ustream.

its a shame no one else is doing comps of this stuff. artist albums are great and everything, but for scenes like this, you really need things like bangs and works. and amazingly, its already been two years (doesnt seem that long ago) since the last one.

Short section from a new documentary on footwork directed by Wills Glasspiegel.

A homemaade comp of older juke/footwork trax
& can someone tell what the track that plays briefly from about 3:26-3:30 is??
i still haven't stumbled onto that one.

Thanks SP.
There's so much good stuff going unreleased. They could at least put some comps up on bandcamp or something.

thanks buddy
you'll be VERY pleased to hear that 'grind' is out soon on Japan's Booty Tune recs along with a whole heap of EQ Why's best (bassline, fake ass bitches, mindflux). didn't kinow that when i did the mix cos i've just been hoarding eq's bits for ages now, but yea, really good news as he's a shit hot producer.

roc too has been uploading some really good new shit to soundcloud recently. took individual tracks all down and did a minimix instead - which is a nice way of hearing it all. really good holy grail jay z one in there where he just pitches up the JT bit. really exciting.

also - VERY happy to see that Jlin has got a new one up and it's a total banger. completely fucked.

on the comps thing i think we're only just now realising how good we all had it with the bangs & works releases...i chatted to mike p about it and he did confirm that there won't be another one. sigh. so yea - everyone else get releasing lol! keep the scene alive!!!!

he does soul footwork better than rashad and spinn imo. they have a more limited (or at least very particular) approach to it - traxman samples soul more fluidly imo. eg - the first song on his planet mu album which samples EWF (i think). it has a lighter touch, it samples soul without making it really heavy handed.

Traxman has some amazing trax for sure, but I can't help but be a little disappointed when he's cutting up some mids 90s sample staples, and not even flipping it particularly creatively. From a hip hop perspective that shit wouldn't fly, all that scratching will indeed make you itch.
Plus I'm guessing these guys aren't clearing anything either. It's one thing to be releasing some juke club remix on Juke Trax Online or some shady bootleg type operation, but I'd hate to see Lit City go under cause they get sent some crippling fee for using those Psyco strings, well known Soul Searchers or Michael Jackson samples.

being perfectly honest, a lot of the samples being used by footwork producers have been well rinsed in hip hop already and if they havent, anyone with a cursory interest in soul/funk will prob know them anyway. eg - brothers johnson, stevie, etc.

I guess juke is just flying far enough under the radar to be missed.?
It's not like the fringes of dance music has ever really felt the force of a sample rights letigeous crack down in the way hip hop has. But coming from a hip hop point of view, their liberal use of uncleared samples is kinda scary.

agreed. but this rehashing has been a fair constant even within footwork itself (repeating, sampling, imitating phrases made by/dug out by your predecessors). and it's not seen as a bad thing

Not really. Sampling has a 30 odd year weight of history. FruityLoops grime presets don't.
But really it just comes down to personal taste.

i was wondering whether this should maybe go under another thread than the 'juke' one, then thought yes, absolutely. the more stuff in here the better.
genuinely moving emotional moves at 160bpm from the man like machinedrum. doing the burial vocals thing properly - unlike the myriad of clueless shite pitched rnb uk bass crap that's been flooding the market over the past few years....drop's tight too. very techy, lots of tension. wicked ragga vocal loops holds it all together. v catchy too. great stuff.
i wasn't really that excited about a full length album on ninja tune for some reason, but definitely am now...really good...
