is Juke going to be the new Dubstep?
Juke is not dubstep, and has nothing to do with it. its a form of house. and its done usually at 160.
I can't see in my original quote where I state, Juke having anything in common musically with Dubstep.
What I meant as a 'joke' (even though I know humour is hard to grasp for most members of this forum) was, is Juke going to be the new hype music, once regional, that everyone jumps on because it's trendy but ends up being for the larger percentage an embarrassing cliché?

(Production-wise, I love what this music is doing with toms, really inspirational.
I don't think the full-on juke sound is accessible enough for the mainstream, but for sure, elements of it are going to find their way out to pop now that the hype machine is rumbling...)
Just read a through that thread a bit, some cool stuff but you also already have people saying "juke has the snares on the 2 and 4, while footwork has snares on the three" shiieeeeeet....
I found this quote from the discogs forum to be amusing:
"knob wrote:
maybe somebody in the U.K will put a new name to it like ghettostep or something and they will be a pioneer of a brand new sound:)"
no diss, but I really wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
At the very least, I think it could be a good thing. It's giving some inner city kids from the midwest to get their sound out there. As far as the dubstep heads, it's getting a much needed dose of new influences. My working hypothesis right now is that dubstep kids have gotten over this "unwritten rule" that dubstep has to be a kick on the one and a snare on the three @ 140 BPM with a halftime feel. Perhaps it's time for some new rhythmics.
i wonder what the average chicago head who grew up with this shit thinks...we've seen a few opinions in this thread from some folk who were actual fans before the recent hype...but i wonder what heads in chicago are thinking.

EZ
The rule what was never set in the first place, just the most popular tunes were halfstep hahah!
Its all about moving that snare around, making big bass music at 140bpm, just like dubstep should be !

No doubt! I never bought into that rule anyways but I've heard it reiterated here sooo many times...

I think it's pretty neat that it was overlooked by the internet and music journalists for so long... sometimes i think that people forget that there's a lot of shit out there that exists outside the scope of the internet and mainstream media

What is ironic from reading the last few posts is Richie August from Chicago put out the Ghettostep EP on my label. Hulk has been doing the brostep/juke thing for a while. I am not even sure if the average Chicago juker even knows people listen to it outside of the mid-west. Personally I thought the genre had died off.

well juke/ghettotech is currently being raped to death by over privileged suburban kids that can't dj the music how it should be and only know of the genre because of footcrab and are only making it because its "hip", which leaves the end product soulless and boring.
...just chalk it down as another thing the suburbanites got their greasy hipster mitts on and destroyed...

I do have to admit that it's kind of weird that it's just NOW getting picked up on; I didn't even realize I've been listening to this stuff for a decade now!

Well it has influenced my music for a long time even if it isn't very noticeable. I am sure I am not the only one. I used to say brostep was the next ghettotech. To me it had that vibe but without so much of the riddem. I don't care about juke coming back but the tribal type beats I am into. More of this.
shiieeeeeet....
no diss, but I really wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
