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.

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.

Dam fam. EP's the first of its kind to get a pressing on plastic, I do believe.

Good news for modern man(z dem).

Footwurk Muziq

If you've not had this one on repeat for the last few weeks, then now's as good a time as any to get on it.

Absolutely essential 2010 listening from the Mu camp (finally, haha...).

Very strange ghetto trax coming straight outta Chicago.

Peerless next global hype sh*t??

Uuuuh, yea't might be!!!
