Nascent footwork label Lit City Trax have announced the forthcoming album from one of the label's chiefs DJ Rashad , entitled 'TEKLIFE Vol. 1: Welcome To The Chi'. The brand new label set up with cohorts DJ Spinn and J-Cush promises to offer only the finest in juke and footwork. The new Rashad album will feature an overwhelming 20 tracks of breakneck tom toms and ghetto samples, with Spinn & Rashad's latest protégé DJ Manny joining the Chicagoan producer for a track entitled 'Over Ya Head'.

DJ Rashad - Love U Found Earlier this year a friend of mine got me really into juke/footwork music—a sort of club that originated in Chicago. It's obsession-forming music, frenetic and odd, and once you get used to the very specific template that it draws from, nothing else ever really seems to scratch the itch. I can listen to this stuff for hours and hours, and it frequently puts me in an almost meditative, trance-like state. If I absolutely had to pick a favorite artist in this particular style (fortunately I don't, but for our [...]
Poland's leading new music event...
Welcome to Future Fresh, where the expiration date on these tunes never expire. This will be a tall glass of freshness into the futuristic sounds of Future Garage, UK Funky, Wonky, Garage, 2Step, experimental dubstep, bass music, and most recently Juke. Basically it's time to relax, hop in your DeLorean and take a roller coaster ride to the future. The names of the genres are not whats important, what is important is how these songs were put together. You will hear a range of bpm's, not everything is in 130-140 bpm range. Another thing you will notice is that the [...]

J'ai l'étrange sentiment que plus les choses avancent avec Emika et moins j'adhère à son ambiance. Son dernier maxi était sympa mais moins bien que le précédent, et nous sommes en face du même cas de figure avec Pretend / Professional Loving , issu de son premier album qui devrait bientôt voir le jour et dont je ne le cache pas, j'ai tout de même hâte de poser les oreilles dessus. Avec ces deux titres mélangeant obsession et aliénation, qui donnent envie de s'abandonner à la musique et de se débattre pour retrouver son chemin, [...]

Juke-Madness zum Wochenendstart. DJ Rashads Closing-Set auf der vor kurzem von FACT und Young Turks geschmissenen XOYO-Party ist ein einziger Hochgeschwindigkeits-Rausch aus Vocal-Schnipsel-Stakkatos, Samples diverser Techno-, House- und HipHop-Klassiker und viel rohem Charme. Seinen Remix von Addison Grooves "Footcrab", den er zusammen mit Chicago-Buddy DJ Spinn gemacht hat, gibt es auch zu hören. Rasant rasant. Und nichts für schwache Nerven und hohen Blutdruck. Bucketheads "The Bomb" auf 150 bpm zu hören verkraftet vielleicht nicht jeder. DJ Rashad - live from FACT x Young Turks by factmag
L'été arrivant, les jambes se découvrent enfin et il nous est apparu logique de parler de culs qui se trémoussent sur High Maintenance . Et la Juke House s'est imposée comme un excellent prétexte pour poster des vidéos de fesses qui se secouent. Pour ceux qui comme moi, débarquent un peu, la Juke house est à première vue un truc un peu dur à suivre, une sorte de techno accélérée un peu cheapos. Mais dans le détail, c'est un peu différent...
