Onstage, Josh Young and Curt Camerucci—young indie party DJs who perform under the cheeky nom de club Fl0sstradamus—are rocking a sweltering room of art school girls humping speakers to stuff like “Lean With It” and DJ Deeon’s “Let Me Bang” as ultraskinny kids in bandanas and flat-brimmed caps lift each other up and crowd surf to a beatmatched gumbo of juke, Le Tigre, Three 6 Mafia, and the surf guitars of “Wipeout.”

honestly i'm not really sure how they SHOULD be 'covering' juke house; i mean, the shit is still popular and gets played on the radio all the time, but really its mid-late 90s music. I dunno. I should really stop hating, i spend too much time AIMing with ethan and al.

i will continue to hate on the press saying things like 'this is chicago's juke scene' about dudes blending daft punk and uffie, though.

Wayne has not done that, and while Nick Catchdubs may talk about that kinda stuff I hardly think he is doing what you rightly find objectionable (unless you can give me more facts otherwise about his writing and his djing). I think there's some context in the Fader article so that people can figure out what's what. Also, juke may be old-hat to you Chicagoans, but to those of elsewhere I do not think that is the case (althought it is important to point out that it's peak was back in the 90s---I found a number of more recent youtube videos of African-American Chicago kids dancing to juke so it's still alive at least).

"Yet in spite of this, Young is still wary of getting attention as a “juke DJ” while being a complete non-entity to Chicago’s existing juke network, admitting, “I have this horrible feeling we might get hated on super hard.”

Despite being juke outsiders, Flosstradamus are helping to cross the sound over, garnering local and national accolades for their Town Hall parties and playing juke-heavy sets to rock-leaning crowds in Los Angeles, Memphis, Atlanta and the SXSW festival in Austin."

I don't think anyone reading the above paragraph, which is part of an article on Southside Chicago juke djs, would come away confused on who's who.

hey maybe i can ask this question: it's a song from a deep house chicago mix. has that early house pseudo disco feel. has singers going "up and down, up and down." a guy comes in at some point. WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS SONG. i have been trying to find it or the mix it's on since late august and it drives me nuts thinking about it.
