floored by footwork.

Some truly mindmelting avant-garde electronic dance music just got upped to SoundCloud by the god-like Ghettophiles (aka Neema Nazem). Footwork out of Chicago is where it is at right now/next week/next year. The key to getting a handle on this initially strange-sounding stuff lies in the magic of the YouTube videos - but here Ghettophiles give us a chance to concentrate closely on the music in a way YouTube forbids.

Music without rules, DJs such as Rashad, Spinn and Jody Breeze are making utterly raw, inspirational works of art at around a hundred and sixty beats per minute; bass weight, ethereal beauty and a dense urban futurism that many artists aspire to nowadays but few acheive.

The fact that this is music borne of teenage danceoffs makes it feel like the second coming of rock n' roll.
