Juke Is Now
After listening to Dj Tuco’s all-Juke mixtape about three times today, I’ve fallen in love again with the music I know so little about.
I mean, what’s not to like about “minimal use of analogue synths, and short, slightly dirty sounding (both sonically and lyrically) vocals samples, often repeated in various ways. Also common are 808 and 909 clap sounds, and full “rapped” verses and choruses.”
Reading DummyMag’s love letter to Chicago Juke didn’t help matters. Pure Juke lives in the bedroom production studios and gymnasium dance-offs of Chicago’s high school kids. It’s constantly changing, and while it might just be a cultural blip it’s one that I can’t get enough of right now. Being a white guy in Canada probably means that I won’t ever even get real juke, either - just the scraps that I can pick up off the interwebs. And nothing says juke scraps like that Die Antwoord track, a Dutch/South African electro jam re-worked by a Prague-based DJ.
Catch these juke tracks, and don’t ever confuse them with jook music: the latter is from Trigga City, the former from the Chi (am I allowed to refer to those cities like that?).

Props to Salacious Sounds for the Gant Man track.

I truly appreciate this post. I’ve been looking all over for this! Thank goodness I found it on Bing. You’ve made my day! Thank you again!
Wow that was odd. I just wrote an very long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyways, just wanted to say fantastic blog!
Hey there. I found your blog by way of Google while searching for a related matter, your website came up. It seems to be great. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks to visit later.
Good article and right to the point. I don’t know if this is actually the best place to ask but do you folks have any thoughts on where to get some professional writers? Thanks in advance

Another thing I have really noticed is that often for many people, a bad credit score is the reaction of circumstances further than their control. By way of example they may have been saddled with illness so that they have high bills going to collections. It would be due to a work loss or even the inability to do the job. Sometimes divorce process can send the financial situation in a downward direction. Many thanks sharing your ideas on this blog site.
I want to learn modern writing in college or university. Like for example to be a author or perhaps screenplays. It does not really make a difference where so long as it’s an english speaking region. Anyone have any kind of thoughts of where will be ideal? Exactly what are the ideal institutions when it comes to creative writing and screenwriting?
