Finalizing the playlist for the year here:

ILM's Rolling Global Footwork Thread 2016 Spotify Playlist

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-1
Teklife 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-girl
EP 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

not to keep promoting but chance the rapper / lil yachty's dj oreo is actually from chicago's west side & in this interview he talks about djing / throwing the war zone footwork battles/parties, being mentored by tek life, the wala cam underground etc:

new DJ Nigga Fox is like minimal acid, and EPIC

https://principediscos.bandcamp.com/album/15-barras

So far I've been successfully resisting the urge to post any of my own stuff on here, but this is a collab and I think readers of this thread might dig it: https://soundcloud.com/weareinsert/exclusive-download-ophex-x-chants-fogo-digitais

listening now.. this is.. amazing Jordan

I would easily play this out any day

Thanks dl!

(btw I sent you an ilx email, just sayin' in case that doesn't go to an active account)

gotcha

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...

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

cheers ulysses

new Air Max '97 is inspiring as always
https://decisionsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/vessel

nargiz was on that Club Chai comp (that i think is gonna go down as hugely influential on the year in club music) with that Rihanna remix but here's an also great mix she just did for what looks like a new club night/concert series in Atlanta

https://soundcloud.com/morphatl/morph-8-nargiz

do we have like a separate thread or anything for diasporic club music? like for naafi and non and ghe20g0th1k versus the scene-based stuff like gqom and shangaan?

I've been posting it here for lack of a better thread, but please start one.

(meant to link Rolling "Experimental Is A Shitty Descriptor But Whatev" 2017)

dope firmeza mix for redbull radio

(that link immediately brought on a pop-up)
(but firmeza is dope)

you have to hit the back button then it works

I like the Darren Keen

https://orangemilkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/its-never-too-late-to-say-youre-welcome

For fans of the Principe Discos stuff, this is another Portuguese artist Fatigado (on Golden Mist):

https://goldenmistrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sanzala

Thanks, this is nasty.

WHOA

yah that bangs

speaking of footwork in japan, anyone into FOODMAN?

that's amazing, ta!

also just announced: http://teklife57.com/releases/005-DJMANNY_GREENLIGHT/

Foodman is awesome. I've met him during my stay in Japan. Definitely has a new album on the way.

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4lLTpMZdug

nice find, thanks!

yeah that's sick

dj manny!!!

For those compiling your year-end lists, this playlist includes all the available tracks on this thread, organized roughly chronologically in order of mention... also a good time to look back on this thread cause there's some bangers!

ILM's 2017 Rolling Global Footwork Thread Spotify Playlist

Add the new Traxman and Nidia Minaj

JAWOHL

you wanna provide some track names and reasons why?

gone girl and tone deaf and idk

i don't have spotify but i hope jana rush is on there.

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"

On the other hand, if this is real...

FootWork and Juke fans get ready 😎🎧🔥😈✔️ pic.twitter.com/5LW3q28G1i
