What do you mean by Footwork?

A Hip-Hop beat that is percussion heavy. Layers upon layers of percussion samples. I guess...

 

There's also this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footwork_(Chicago)

Based on a few youtube videos of Chicago Footwork music I just saw, I don't think it's layers up layers of percussion. Just sound like a single layer of percussion, rather fast beat (sounds like Allegro Vivacissimo), and black kids dancing fast footsteps to the music. A lot of repetition in the beats and lack of melody. I'd say that's the style?

Still single layer of percussion, simple melody (ok sure there is melody), sounds like R&B. meh, sounds like most modern music anyways. Like I don't even know why people create all these different genres for music that sound the same. Dubstep is all about that specific beat pattern. I really liked back in the days there weren't all these genres, maybe they had. I don't know. But they are simply called classical music.

 

Fucking hell, I think there is more variety in classical music than all modern genres combined.

Footwork is fun in small doses, though.

[Rubin Farr]

please no

[autopilot]

What do you mean by Footwork?

 

160bpm

 

+ cliched-for-decades 808 samples (texturally unaltered)

 

+ goofy chopped up samples of black guy

 

congrats you are riding the musical zeitgeist. don't forget to put "RIP Rashad" somewhere in the track description.

[Guest Phonejack]

Not using the HEY sample should be a bannable offense.

 

 

Or is that trap.

 

 

Juke?

[hello spiral]

ITT

 

lotta IDM-equivalent of Led Zep fans saying 'hur, wats dis punk shit? three chordswat?! lololol'

[autopilot]

good analogy, as punk was also shitty music popularized by how easy it was for amateurs to replicate

[hello spiral]

jezuz lol

[Friendly Foil]

Don't worry, the theme for the next one will be Intelligent Dance Music with zany breakbeats and sad white key melodies.

 

Everyone gets a chance to have fun.

[Soloman Tump]

I'd actually quite like to have a go

[hello spiral]

Yes!

[Goiter Sanchez]

There is a load of compositional potential in Juke/footwork that remains untapped!

[chassis]

Ill give it a go.

Wait does this have to be pure footwork or can it be footwork influenced tracks.

[hello spiral]

If you check out the other CHATMM comps, you will see that quite a lot of tracks are only tenuously linked to the theme.
