When I first saw and heard footwork I found it rather silly.
But I've come to appreciate it.

Footwork used to be the shit. I loved it until the music and dance style changed. Footwork used to be amazing, and it's the only style of electronic music that I felt was tightly integrated with the dancing; that is, the music+dancing= one single entity. So a dancer had the power to change the vibe of the music.
Like THIS. That what still when popular footwork dance style was highly influenced by post-charleston, with more glides and crip walk styles, with more illusion moves, as opposed to the frenetic style that seems to be most popular now.
IN THIS, two of my favorite young dancers from back in the day teamed up and kill. Unfortunately after this, Poppy starting wearing pants that were too loose, which ruined his moves due to having to pick them up constantly (seriously), as well as he started to get more influenced by frenetic style. Combo is one of the most innovative dancers from back then, who really had deep understanding of funk and sheer flow vibez, so his sets were usually very good and quite tuned to the tracks being played.
HERE is my acoustic cover of Rep Yo Clique.

i like it best when i can post something that simultaneously takes the piss and makes a valid point. it's how xltronic should be done.
so we have a white guy robot dancing to autechre stacked up against a black guy dancing to footwork. aside from the fact that footwork makes me feel like the only white kids at a public enemy concert, i find the style of dancing to be boring after about thirty seconds, whereas i could watch david elsewhere all day. furthermore, the production on a lot of the footwork stuff is decidedly mediocre -- not all of it, but a lot -- and autechre is one of the few acts that actually justifies FLAC to my ears. did you know autechre is touring?

Holy shit, I felt like old Biff Tannen watching that:
"I remember that..."
I totally forgot about the regional battles, man.

Forgot about Lightbulb. Used to dig him, as well.
HERE are the roots of footwork dancing in modern form.
Man... For ULHS, 2006 was THE year, because the band was fucking on it and contenders were all pretty good. I used to get high and watch that shit and be like, "Whooooo~!", like it was the 1920's all over again.
Takes me back, mang.....
