As promised, Planet Mu juice out another 100% killah Footwork selection,
following up one of THE best records of the last 12 months. Since the release
of the last volume, it's fair to say the meme has gone global thanks to
contagion carriers such as ╡ fam's Kuedo and Machinedrum, and no doubt the
awesome tours by DJs Spinn & Rashad and their dancers earlier in the year. But
as the sound continues to be assimilated in all corners of beat-driven
electronics and dancefloor styles, Chicago remains the font of innovation as
proved in 'Bangs & Works Vol.2'. With careful, considered curation, it rep's
the full spectrum of up-to-the-minute Chicagoan Juke and Footwork, from the
psychoactive repetitions of DJ Spinn's 'Crazy 'n' Deranged' thru the cosmic
musique concrΦte vibes of Young Smoke's 'Space Muzik Pt.3' and the
cyber-sensual futurism of Jlin's 'Erotic Heat'. You'll find experienced hands
such as Rashad & Gant Man flashing hi-tech funk styles on 'Heaven Sent or DJ
Roc knocking it clean out the park on 'Get Buck Juice', while young bloods like
DJ Solo makes connections with classic UK Grime on 'What Have You Done', and DJ
T-Why provides shivers with the deliciously dissonant sample suspension of
'Orbits' and the hyperactive edits of 'Juice'.
