Jlin going all in on the 12/8 feel, ends up feeling very West African (also very pointillist, all those different little one-shot samples): https://www.residentadvisor.net/tracks/835461

I saw RP Boo last week and he told me Jlin's album would probably be coming out around May. I'm v excited.

(also if have a chance to see Boo, do so. holy fuck.)
DJ Chap: https://discospeligrosa.bandcamp.com/album/drum-pakk-1Teklife crew member does something like favela meets footwork. Mostly just drum tracks, but short lengths so you can groove to them and move on
Machine Girl: https://machinegirl.bandcamp.com/album/machine-girl-vs-machine-girlEP from late last year. Not straight footwork by a any means, lots of jungle and breakbeat in there too. But I like artists that f with the formula

I've been sleeping on this whole gqom thing but I've really been enjoying Dominowe's EP on Gqom Oh! Darkside UK funky type vibes...
― paolo, Friday, 7 April 2017 08:24 (seven years ago) link
Is anyone releasing gqom apart from Gqom Oh! I'm going to do some digging into their other releases (even though there's only about three) but I'm not sure where to go from there

Don't know if you've all seen this before - it's from 2013, 75k views on Youtube etc., but I keep coming back to it. The guy who comes in at 15:50 is just complete brilliance.
