Rolling Footwork / Juke / Batida / Shangaan/ Chaabi / Other

Wanted to start a new rolling footwork and juke-related thread as the title of the one we've been using for years doesn't really reflect what's happening so much any more.

Figured it would be nice to open this out to some of the more esoteric dance styles that have been emerging around the world too, seeing as many of them seem to share that broken / cut-up / / hard / fast / unpredictable rhythmic style.

So take this thread as you will - if it fits or if it don't, post up your tracks.

should footwork really be chucked in with the others? im not sure anyone making chaabi cares about footwork.

I'm really interested in this kind of crossover trend of sampling tiny snatches of African rhythms in this way. Posted this DJ Paypal track on the old thread:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgtfx8RttME

Which shares a similar vibe to this from Italian producer, Clap! Clap! (who is doing a show in the UK with Omar Souleyman in March)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp4vSJyVoGk

And also this from the Lisbon producer Nigga Fox, who along with Marfox has been spearheading their own Cargaa-style, releasing tracks on Warp and footwork label Lit City Trax.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp4vSJyVoGk

xp yeah, I'm not trying to lump them in with each other, it's just that electro chaabi etc won't really get discussed on other dance-related threads.

well that's a good start. sorry for the repost - here's the Nigga Fox track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHdgIke_6KI

ok whatever! i love electro chaabi, at least the cairo liberation front mixes i have, so would welcome any tips for more like that.

I take it you've heard the EEK x Islam Chipsy stuff? Not strictly electro chaabi, it's its own thing. Two drummers and an absolutely incredible synth wiz making awesome heart-pounding stuff

its amazing. the live vids on youtube are also incredible. i wanted to buy it but trying to save at the mo.

I saw them a few weeks ago with my o/h and they melted us into the floor. Even with earplugs in, they were deafening. V loved it too - don't think I've ever seen her so excited at a gig.

which is the MOST esoteric dance style? should have been a poll

my favorite principe last year : https://principediscos.bandcamp.com/album/alma-do-meu-pai

also mastercard > paypal : http://mallmusicinc.bandcamp.com/

Enjoying the DJ Firmeza stuff. By the way, I wasn't sure whether Cargaa was the right name for the Lisbon stuff. I've seen it referred to as batida as well.

yep batida is the name, it means beat.

'Hwwambo' is such a good track.

Check this shit out. There's a Jlin remix in there

Anyone want a footwork-ish mix I made?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g1sqyp2hn97l93a/slim%20traks.mp3?dl=0

I've been researching some Japanese Footwork for a radio show, the stuff I really like drifts in to more abstract Hip Hop or other genres occasionally, but I love this from Orrorinz.

https://orrorinz.bandcamp.com/track/blow-yo-shit-rough-mix

ooh this thread looks good, I've been digging that track in particular off the PayPal album and wondering where to go next, the link with Nigga Fox makes sense

article on Gqom

Gqom, the foot-stomping new sound of South Africa's townships

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jan/22/gqom-house-dance-bhenga-julz-da-deejay

The minimalist house music that comes with its own unique dance style, bhenga, that’s Durban’s answer to Chicago footwork

Gqom Oh! The Sound Of Durban Vol 1 is out on Friday 29 January via Gqom Oh!

sounds cool.

P4k review: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/21381-the-sound-of-durban-vol-1/

I've been toying with the idea of buying up a bunch of footwork (and related) vinyl online and teaching myself how to DJ properly... Is this a wise choice? All my mixes are kind of pre-prepared digital affairs rather than on the fly mixes. Footwork is still relatively niche where I live, but the appetite for booming bass has always been very high.

This is from a while ago. House of Black Lanterns don't strictly stick to footwork, but this is nice and forbidding.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sWoR1VWEc4

Kode 9 has one of those residency shows on Radio 1. This one has a bunch of juke on it. And a gqom track. And some other stuff, mostly grime

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06ybqvq

There was some talk in the poll about Nidia Minaj and the Portuguese scene...its called batida? Where can I find out about that?

Ok I just saw a little duscussion upthread...us there anythung else besid es s the Danger EP to look out for?

Maybe Paypal and N Fox?

In terms of Batida, there's always Marfox too.

Yeah I found the principe bandcamp page. Ty dog latin!

I AM TRYING TO LEAVE MY EARTHLY BODY AND TRANSCEND TO THIS TRACK'S LEVEL.

indeed, love this guy, and his Portuguese partner in crime DJ Nigga Fox. Along w the Teklife crew and DJ Paypal/Mastercard/Orange Julius folks, pretty much auto-listen for me right now

this is cool

agreed

That Mastercard rules!!

Actually so does Orange Julius! Great thread

so i assume you all are down with Iglooghost. it's a little too 'ADD sugar rush' for me, but after hearing all his early rap production (which is great) it's amazing to see how he's developed.

also i'm going to post the 130 - 140 bpm club music that i've been soaking in lately here, this EP is a stunner:

Free mix from Budapest Juke - Hungarian Footwork

http://budapestjuke.bandcamp.com/album/budapestjuke-vol-1

This Ash Koosha record is interesting. Sometimes Arca-ish, sometimes more like a 2016 take on IDM. Very rhythmic but not especially functional (seems like he doesn't like kick drums much?), although there are a couple tracks I could hear working in a mix. It's growing on me.

here's an artist I never expected to post in this thread: http://www.stereogum.com/1869919/paul-simon-wristband/mp3s/

also this is pretty great https://buwanbuwancollective.bandcamp.com/album/0

new DJ Taye is really good! Vocals and hip hop influence bring a lot of variation to the sound, and Taye's productions are on point

excited to check it

i was surprised that i wasn't much into the dj earl album because in general i really like his production and dj'ing (particularly the jungle / dnb influence he brings)

also got quickly bored of the dj manny

hate to say it but i feel like footwork really peaked about 4 years ago

i'm still listening to footwork buuuuuut aside from jlin not much i think that reaches the heights of "double cup" or "legacy"

whoaaaaa

wasn't the thing w/ Nate that he drifted away from footwork really soon after the first collection came out and started doing relatively straight rap productions instead?

He invented Bop!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP7DvWrOWoc

Yeah, he was doing auto-tune singing and it was still kinda crazy but a world away from the footwork stuff.

chief keef invented bop tbf
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5lRW_eS8KI

but yeah dj nate was early on that wave

pvmic

fwiw i think jana rush dropped one of the best footwork release oat last year.

tbf Gucci Goggles came out before Ballin. But I don't know who invented what, all I know is that I kinda miss the sound :( Super Saiyan vol 1 is one of the underrated mixtapes of the decade.

not according to the time stamps on these videos. and sicko mobb / every bop artist will tell you they were inspired to start rapping by keef, 'ballin' was the biggest keef song on the west side

my character is dude who is right

It feels really awkward for me arguing this with a chicagoan, and my comment that dj nate invented bop was meant tongue in cheek, but the flexx washington mixtape came out in august, and ballin came out in september, no?

the date on the 'ballin' youtube i posted was may. it was getting played out all summer

i just think it’s funny that you popped into a footwork thread to street team for chief keef

It’s like a metaphor for what happened to footwork irl

how so

artists like say dj nate stopped making footwork to make keef type records

most hip hop producers i talk to in chicago had a point where they were making juke & footwork stuff tbh

i see

nobody listens to techno :(

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?

not the same thing at all but i heard taye raps on his new one?

Yeah it's cool hybrid imo

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.

Batida • Eléctrico 18

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.

!!!

I guess he made videos of his physical therapy, damn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THzg_asEJD8

wow, kudos to dj nate, that's awesome

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.

Agreed

I like it a lot as well
