weird that this topic escalated into a really deep
discussion. some quality posts in here.

actually, i myself used the term "post-juke" a few times
already mentioning artists like machinedrum, ital tek, slick
shoota or even some kuedo.

one could come to the conclusion that post-juke is basically
non-black juke which sounds wrong but is oh so true.

i don't see this in a negative way, though. i think in that
most of these artists do a fantastic job of adapting the
rhythm and structure to their own style. i don't see this as
any form of theft or parasitic behaviour, rather a natural
consequence.

also, if i may allow a more racist statement i would even
dare to say that all those white people took from footwork /
juke the only few worthy elements and created something
cohesive. because when you look twice you'll get to the
conculsion that footwork / juke might be just the saddest
music style ever. it has absolutely no artistic value
whatsoever, is basically pushing music back into prehistoric
times with its' limited soundset and basically lack of
melodic content. and all this so a few negroes with fast
feet can do their weird twitchy movements which looks more
like trying not to fall on a slippery floor than dancing,
convinced that they are doing something valuable and
respectful with their sad lives.

i think it's music to dance to. if you don't dance like
that, or you're not watching someone dance like that, you
come away thinking it's incredibly shit. if you're a white
neckbeard who's spent years listening to chaps like Clark
and BOC, you're probably quite attuned to sound design and
texture, and 95% of this music seems to be very poor in that
department.

not to mention melody, yeah. i've always been more into
12-part harmonies than i have been weird time signatures.

pretty much, whether or not it's any good, planet mu was
insane for latching onto it (IMO).

if you're trying to be taken seriously, you really shouldn't
use the word "negroes."

you know when i heard juke for the first time i liked it
from the start. i loved it exactly for being so raw and
simple, kind of like the dubstep roots. just that in the
case of dubstep it was perfectly fine to begin with.

yeah - without that dancing juke got horrible boring and
repetetive.

"african american" or "black people" would be a start.
"negroes" is only a step away from "nigger" in terms of
offensiveness. so is "colored people."

where as dubstep was based around bass feel, juke/footwork
is all about the rhythm. it may seem limited to you, but
just like with any specialty, the magic lies in the subtle
intricacies that arise when using a limited palette.

i despise political correctness. when someone uses a word
like "nigger," it says a lot more about them than it does
the person they aim the word at. the proper response to such
behavior is to say, "lol, what a troglodyte" and move on
with your life. if you fixate on someone else's stupidity
and masturbate until you ejaculate righteous indignation,
you're just as much of an asshole.

problem is that i know the meaning of any of these words and
used the ones i chose on purpose. so i would hardly call
this stupidity. if you insist that it is, then you are the
offender, not me.

now, you might think i don't as my internet persona seems
nice and helpful and racist slur doesn't really fit in
here.

the choice is yours not to decide if i am stupid or not
(because i am not) but to decide if what was said permits
you to think of me as a dickhead.

i deliberately use the word negroe as other people use
"guido" or "russkie" etc. which have not only behavioral
features built into it but also racial association. it is
meant to be offensive of course, but in the context of
behavior, only underlining that most people of this
subculture are from a specific country, race.

all im saying is i live in a city with a predominantly black
population, and if someone heard you refer to a group of
black people as "negroes," you'd get your ass fucking beat
in.

i don't think the "it wasn't racist because i didn't mean it
that way," argument would really work there.

that's precisely the sort of attitude that makes me want to
yell NEGROES just to make people angry. fuck you, it's my
life; i'll live it how i want. you got major issues if you
let some jackass yelling nonsense insults at you drag you
down. there's a certain raw stupidity akin to poking a
beehive in yelling "negroes" at a bunch of homeboys though.
i really strive to live somewhere in between: not catering
to overly-sensitive, guilt-tripping poodles, but also not
being some puerile asshole saying lol nigger negro

classically: hip hop beats anywhere from 80-125 bpm, tuned
808 kick drums, trilled snares and hi-hats, pitched down
vocals. shares a lot of dna with the houston
chopped-and-screwed movement.

now: chopped up vocals, shotgun samples, blown out subs,
lasers, risers, and generic "edm" sounds, "damn son, where'd
you find this?," "hey" or "yeah" samples on the upbeat

artists currently riding the wave: uz, baauer, tnght, +verb,
flosstrodamus, any celebrity name inserted with a pun
involving the word "trill"

imo uz is the best example/ambassador

the rest of this conversation makes my head hurt...

uz and baauer are top quality.

uz - v8

baauer - yaow

basically every trap set has those two tracks in it.

funny sidenote - i downloaded something called
"LEX LUGER TRAP DRUM KIT" with all those drums and chants and fx
used. and here i am calling footwork repetetive.

trill cruise

quite a specific genre, really. it kind of bothers me for a
genre to be that narrow. i think, at that level, it's not a
genre -- it's a scene.

a genre is composed of multiple scenes (my opinion)

god i love your stuff man.

the track is really nice, although imho the bubbly main
theme is a bit overpowering at times. a simple 1dB cut would
probably do miracles.

i kind of envy you for having this particular musical skill
that is kind of hard to describe in one word. it's something
a lot of artists have, making beat-driven music. it's these
constant slight changes and variations to a beat, FX in the
back, vocal samples, using effects, buildups that make it
sound so interesting. love the reverb on that snare of
yours, how it has some melodical tail.

i come straight from techno over cold, mathematical idm so
no wonder my tracks sound so "dry". i basically drive on
cliches, 4/16 builds and stock samples.

as to these tracks. they are actually remixes so there is
not much credit for me. i made them just to use them as a
few dj tools in sets.

drop it is actually 3 steps ahead

btw all those lil details i work into my tracks, there's no
special trick to it really - just time. i'll spend like an
hour or two just tweaking the envelopes for one buildup or
transition, just to get it right.

giving your music time to grow has to be the best advice i
can give to music makers.

instead of laying out a track and posting it the same day
(like a lot of my friends do), walk away, work on something
else, then listen to the track again in a week. find out
what do you wish it would do differently, then make it do
that. we have complete control over the sound, so why not
exercise it?

another biggun is having "playable" elements to your tracks.
most of my songs start out life as a ridiculously dense,
complete 16 bar loop with 10 different live effects that i
just lay out and progressively remove certain parts of for a
section. i like having a knob to cut off midi signals to
each of my drum tracks, most of my build ups are macro'd to
a single knob as well, and same with my filters. then i go
thru the song recording a single automation each run thru,
which brings a lot of the humanized touch to the piece.

sure, it takes a lot of time, but i'm finding the more time
i spend [on mda while working] on a track the more i'm
pleased with it in the end.

I find it really weird that people seem to think one
particular cultural/racial group "own" a sound or genre.
Music as a whole is spectacularly derivative; you could
argue anyone using any of the conventional scales is
plagiarising those who have gone before.

It seems natural that scenes are influenced by one another;
it happens in all other forms of artwork (literature, films,
theatre, etc.) nothing exists in isolation.
