Only a handful of years ago footwork was a genre confined to a few zipcodes in the
Chicago area, and its surge in popularity recently was bound to result in plenty of
worldly practitioners. æPower ShufflesÆ is a round up of these latter-day juke kids,
and ropes together seven artists who all give their take on South-side ghetto music.
Some are far more successful than others, while EVSÆs æThe Twin ParadoxÆ sounds more
like Toytronic-era IDM than anything birthed from booty music, Acre gets his head
around it with the ear pounding æI DonÆt Waste StepsÆ. Leatherface smartly opts to go
for a Relativity-era Baroque rap vibe on æWatch Me Do My ThangÆ and ends up being the
most successful. ItÆs always struck me as peculiar how that era of US rap music is so
maligned, and to hear those production tics dropped into the footwork framework canÆt
help but put a smile on my face.
