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.

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

3 seconds into this and i can tell i'm gonna love it

cross posting this here, detailed percussion-heavy club tracks (mostly 130 - 140) from Salviatek (Uruguay): https://salviatek.bandcamp.com/album/aequs-nyama-ep-stk002-2

actually 'ayida weddo' is 160 and would be cool mixed w/footwork

For those who enjoyed the first two installments, DJ Orange Julius new Juice mix is out today: https://soundcloud.com/mall-music-inc/juice-iii

The Moro and Mhysa EPs on Non are interesting:

That Salviatek is so good! Definitely check the Moro if you like that.

This thread is awesome; here's the playlist:

will check it out for sure, <3 NON.

I wasn't familiar with them til someone on twitter linked Mhysa's cover of "Just a Girl"! Even tho I already followed Mhysa, I only knew of her as a DJ.

HOLY FUCKS http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/18099-dj-marfox-2685/

This might be my favorite track this year.

Scratch that. It definitely is.

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:

https://trackmeet.bandcamp.com/album/nihil-2-hubris-ep

I'm away at a wedding gift at the moment. can't wait to hear all this stuff when I get home. cheers all.

ADD sugar rush

this aesthetic is my exact nemesis

this Nihil 2 stuff is great tho!

dj katapila reissued by awesome tapes from africa

quite basic, but i can't stop playing it. it's like one long drum track.

fast, rhythmic, atmospheric track

been listening to a lot of Rinse FM, and something about their compression makes everything sound twice as raw & banging.

also sorry for self-promo but i genuinely think some of you would like this:

working my way through this one, lots of good jams i wish i could identify:

haha the Red Hot Chili Peppers blend (:52)

saw a fantastic DJ set the other night in Bristol by this guy the Busy Twist. I was pretty much in heaven for the whole set.
https://soundcloud.com/thebusytwist

looks like the tracks on their soundcloud are quite old. I'd love to have a copy of the set they played though.

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/

lol

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.

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...

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzh3MIO27VU

That one in particular has been huge forever, I remember us saying that in high school

I am pretty sure it’s skeet skeet skeet not ski ski ski lol

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

Amazing track from the Batida Apresenta: The Almost Perfect DJ, Vol. 1” DJ set(?)/compilation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC1Z1iMOsF4

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

Cross-posting this album here since it has a lot of similarities imo
