does anyone here know about the genealogy of this music? is it a development from chicago house (through various mutations) or does it come in from outside via say other ghettos styles from detroit (techno bass / ghetto bass), bmore, whatever?
i mean there was a sort of hardening and 'ghettoising' of house with what i think was know in chicago as 'hard house' (NOT to be confused with uk homegrown style!) and also with 'ghetto house' which meant stuff like mike dearborn, dj rush, dj funk, dj skull, dj deeon, robert armani, lester fitzpatrick. (variations there already between v booty-ish stuff, very jacking techno-ish stuff and particularly tough acid) stuff on dance mania and relief of course, stuff that pro-jex picked up on over here and i started hearing called simply chicago techno.
love it all!
is this the stuff that morphed into juke?
if so...what are the missing links in the evolution between say deeon and the stuff linked on this thread?
...aslo anyone who knows of good net resources or texts on afro-american street dance styles i'd much appreciate some pointers.
