+Arrow fierce Yup. Him and King Charles are probably the two biggest footworkers who really broke out of Chicago. Dancing with Madonna and competing in competitions/workshops all around the world. Their team Footwork Kingz was also on MTV's America's Best Dance Crew.

[@MenosanceMusic]

Has anybody got some info on Traxman - Spacestar (the one used in the boiler room section)??? trying to find the track from somewhere but I can't :(

[@richard-frfr1722]

A lot people don't know Chicago footwork music break down into 3 different types of Chicago style musics.

[@MrWillswillswills]

+Richard-frfr whatcha mean

[@chicagomycity]

+Richard-frfr I am from Chicago and to me its currently 2 styles of music under the Juke umbrella: Juke and Footwork. Back in the late 80's; when the music first came out it was a little bit slower and the music was called "Ghetto House";. Ghetto House moves were regular dance moves that were just quick. It wasn't focused exclusively on just the feet. Once footworking caught on in the early 90s; the music started to get faster at 160/180 BPM. Then Footworking tracks started to take on a life of their own that was separate from the Juke/Ghetto House tracks because they had to be faster to match the footworking dance. I am curious to know what would you say is the 3rd sound?

[@sknight4115]
