Jackin...Works
So for those of you that are interested - musically, I'm really only in to 2 things at the moment.
The first is still the current strain of chicago Ghetto House - Footwork.

And the second - funnily enough - is the current strain of #UpNorth UK Ghetto House - Jackin, Bass and Electroline.
Danny Haigh Presents Filth & Bass 3 by Danny Haigh
Weird new house. Not at all shit house.
Who'd a thunked it?

Classic TraXXX Mania
Just found THIS classic Dance Mania booty / ghetto mix from DJ Flint posted up on the ol' YoutTube (actually uploaded as recently as feb 2010...).
The original CDr / cassette release dates from back in 1997, and (interestingly!) includes many of the names included on the recent Planet Mu Footwork / Nu Skool Juke comps - full tracky here on the discogs page (audio cuts after about track 17, so no RP Boo or DJ Clent unfortunately. See what I did there, with the links...).
"From the back...Bitch. Hoe...Woah Oh..." etc etc etc. This sh*t is fast as hell, and really f*cked up, trust me.
Turn't up, and switch your mind to freak mode.
Enjoy.

Too Many Slow Jams
A little Jampie update up on here, as requested [P.S. Draft 2 - think I forgot how to write via too much time on Twitter. Eww].
We are now nearing the end of the year (ennit!?) and oooooohhhh hasn't it been a funny one!! I'll put the ol' "end of" report up a bit later on, but for now here's what I should have really put up at some point between now and me last post (like a month ago - sooorrrry!) but never quite got round to.
On the JA side of things, 2 artists that have definitely been paying their dues recently (and getting lots of pirate airplay as a result) are these two. They both seem to be popping up on bare riddims at the minute.. Which is great.
I'm on a hype ting about Fambo especially, cos of the drinksing / drunk look. Good good good - lots that's appealing there.
"I'm never yet sober."
Tell em!
Next, I reckon that the best thing that I've seen / heard on the YoutTube in the past few months (inna Bashment at least) is this very swag elmo-cap-into-Mavado's-new-(very heavy, very 'umbl)-one 'When The Heathen Rise' about 5 a bit mins into this here vid. Wicked. Really like his new slightly more chill style. I'm sure there are other ones I should mention - but these two here and here have been doing it for me for a while now (second one's pretty fierce, but yea it's in the delivery ennit).
Back over on these shores though, really what it's all about right now is people coming along to the whole lotta gigs that I've got coming up in the next month.
Firstly, I'm supporting man like RAFFERTIE in Cambridge this Friday (19th November) in Clare College's Cellar. It's a students only do (I do believe) so any lucky cam kids that dun kno the dun know about that great great little location, get down nice and early for me back to backle with a few other Voodoo manz dem for some serious crate diggin. We've got 21:00 till 23:00 and the drinks are dutt cheap, so be there if you like pre lashing to this this and this - and not THIS.
I'm then going back up there again the Friday after for the (very exciting) return of the legendary VOODOO RAVE (thas my night!!!) - upstairs at the mighty Fountain Inn on the 26th November (home of Skream, Radioactive Man and many other DJs that have past through Cambridge's essential post-set night-cap [right next door to the rumoured biggest Spoons in the UK!!!]).
5 or 6 Voodoo bwoys / gyals will be reppin it hard on the decks all night right through till 3 in tha morn - and it's only £2 before 12! So if you've got a buddy with a comfy floor round those South Eastern endz it will be well worth the train fare up from London town / wherever else, cos u dibby dibby dun our parties are always a monster mash.
No more convincing needed surely.
BUT: For all of the haters out ther that still think Cambridge crowds are nerdy / lame - ya wrong!!!!
Right, that should do for now.
Oooooh yes, HERE is my fave #footwork(ing) trak at the minute, courtesy of Chicago's youngest celebrity Tha Pope. In my eyes, everything about it is perfect, and it highlights all that is good and great about this fantastic thread of modern Ghetto House that is rightfully getting the publicity over here that it so justly deserves.
I'm actually having a go at producing some jUKe meself now, so watch this space for more news on that one soon to come.
Played lots of juke / footwork stuff on the most recent InnaCity FM slot too. For anyone that missed it - the archive's up here on my mixcloud. Enjoy.
Started to work on a bit of a darkside theme there as well, definitely soon to be murkily revisited on a dancefloor near you. Some bits of classic early noughties proto-dubstep South London bass / electro / grime (DJ Controlled Weirdness, The Dexorcist, Radioactive Man) that recently arrived through me postbox.
Watch this space - voodoo voodoo #voodoo.
That's all for now, so blessy bless up one and all.
Hope to see some of yo footworkin the circle in Cambridge this / next week, or at least just there 'avin it at the front.
Either way it'd be nice to see you.
Till next time.
[P.S. I will update more soon. I promise!]

Itz Not Rite...
...just how on point Planet Mu are being in 2k10.Bangs & Works comes out December 6th, and will be the 4th Modern Juke / Footwork release for the label in just 4 months.
That means that by the close of this year a UK label will be responsible for the release of nearly 80 of this odd thread of Chicago Ghetto House's best trax to date.
The guys deserve mad props for the two ultra dark RP Boo numbers on the compilation alone (the man who was apparently the founding father of the sound), but all 25 of the tunes included here are absolute killers - many being personal favourites of mine from the few mixtapes and radio sets that I've been able to get my hands on since my initial exposure to the sound via Mike Muziq's mixcloud page earlier this year.
Be excited.

JUKestacy
Been digging through old Databass and Twilight 76 releases recently to see what's been pressed, and found this wickedly rushy DJ Boogie 12" from back in '02.Starting to really feel the ol' Aceeeid and D.E.T.roit Tech heritage in all this Juke and Jilt sh*zzle. There are chicago house, dance mania, ghetto, bass and booty links in the footwork scene out there at the minute that I've heard talked about already - but going further back there's this whole really rich ravey musical lineage to both Chi-Town and the Motor City that I've not heard mention of yet in direct connection with the newer sound.
The links to the pioneers are definitely there though, and I think flashes come through particularly strongly with the mad sampling and general oddness of the newer trax over the far more booty / profanity based 4x4 stuff of yesteryear.
Check here, here and here for classic jukejilttechworktastic plastic - if you're that way inclined.

Foot-not-working
If anyone's noticed a distinct lack of new posts up in here recently then apologies - lots of distractions are gwarnin, not the least the fact that I have broken my big toe.I kicked a tree. Won't be doing that again in a hurry.
Anyway - sh*t's still been going down. There's a second VoodooRadio online instalment now up on me mixcloud, for those of you that are interested. Last weekend marked the return of Ray Nulds after a busy few weeks, and we did our usual thang as well as putting on a very short juke exclusive at the end - running through some classics alongside tracks from DJ Nate's sh*t ur pants debut 12".
Expect much more of that to come over the next few months.
The irony's killing me (ref. blog post title).
