How about Chicago “juke” music (for some 3rd wave sounds). Check out the 1–28–07 blog posting at wayneandwax.com and the imeem.com dj clent mix at the bottom of Wayne’s 1–21–07 blog posting and this Fader article he linked to—
Pop Drop
Beyonce, art school girls and warp speed bass? On the floor with Chicago’s juke DJs.

an excerpt:
“At some point during the mid ’90s, the Chi’s traditional 120 BPM jack-your-body house started shifting into a much harder, faster strain that didn’t even have a real name. Some called it booty for commercial purposes, but most of its fans and practitioners called it ghetto (or just “tracks”). Early cuts by DJ Funk, DJ Milton, DJ Slugo and others on local independent label Dance Mania established an oversexed, raw aesthetic that not only sweated up the dance scene, but gave it a sonic blueprint: bounce, bounce, hit, hit, repeat. It caught on heavy at basement parties and teen events in the years that followed, and by the time Southside DJs Gantman, Puncho, and Tone released their “Let Me See You Juke” on vinyl, there was a definitive name for what both the moves and the music had become—ghetto house was now simply juke. “When we would be at parties, we’d hear girls like, ‘They jukin in there’ or ‘We gonna go get our juke on,’” says Puncho. “I remember just looking at Gant like, Let’s make a track.” Their crew released a successful series of mixes called The Juke Hour, just as other DJs were flooding South and Westside Chicago malls with popular juke tapes of their own. Even radio began to take notice, with WGCI’s Mike Love playing quick snippets of juke on his “workout” segment every day.”

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.
lol at fader.
i have half of this http://www.discogs.com/release/25274
i guess that would count? its more like ghetto tech than house though (is ghetto tech strictly detriot? i don’t know anything about it, but if its like this i need to. misha vainberg sure loves it.)
so good. i found it at the salvation army along with a bass comp, california love 12“, that one coolio saong and a bad boy comp.
whats a shouts track? anyone know?
fuck oui is the shit!!
what’s a shouts track? isn’t it obvious??
oh i get it. i only have the first lp of the 2 lp set so i’ve never heard dj deeeon’s shouts track.
There’s some holds in this house
If you see em point em out
srsly paranoid board these days.
or something, anyway those were LPs by Glenn Underground, Anthony Nicholson and Ron Trent.
btw dj deeon is my myspace friend and he constantly posts bulletins with cool videos of him djin’ juke music \(o.o)/
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.
