@@Xerin Oh nice! Spendy but totally worth it!

[@Huumf]

Would love to see your take on old techno / Detroit electro

[@despiseyou6605]

yes, i would love to see stuff from Drexciya and Underground Resistance

[@TheXraycat]

I have attempted footwork jungle before and never actually mastered the swing of the beats successfully. The stabs and vocals fx I understood , but not the drums. I over complicated the breaks also. Now I have seen it I will defiantly have another try. Thanks for the breakdown , it really shows where I was going wrong:)

[@STRANJAH]

You are most welcome good luck with the results, experiment and try different rhythms!

[@windowbreezes]

your attempt requires you to do the actual footwork dance. that's how you'll get the feeling.

[@TheXraycat]

@@windowbreezes Ha ha. yup. I will never get it , I'm a terrible dancer ;)

[@TheXraycat]

@@STRANJAH thanks man :)

[@windowbreezes]

or you can watch the chicago footwork documentaries or dance battles and see why the beat works.

[@MrSiwat]

Love your channel dude. Excellent stuff. I'm 62 years old and a long time Abelton user since it came out. I ran an analog recording studio in the 1980's, so I remember all these styles. Thanks.

[@STRANJAH]

That’s very cool! Thanks for the kind words!

[@MrSiwat]

@@STRANJAH No worries dude. Your channel is great.)

[@greenleaf504]

Would love to see your take on some Drumfunk. No Amens though. Maybe like Alligator Boogaloo or Soul Heart Transplant or something. I'm a nerd. lol

[@STRANJAH]

Sure love those breaks!

[@jacobkotler179]

Love these genre-specific tutorials! Very inspiring stuff. RIP DJ Rashad.

[@STRANJAH]

Bigup and yes RIP to DJ Rashad the originator

[@lukeygee123abc2]

Stranjah I love your videos but this tutorial was on an absolute other level. So insightful to see you demonstrate all the different patterns and then create a track. I'm sure I speak for your entire community when I say thank you for your excellent work!!

[@rebeccapress2664]

I would like to see tutorials on making hardcore/gabber . Thanks friend!

[@OscarUnderdog]

So much value in these tutorials man, love em. Just ordered myself a cap & tshirt from your store too. Gonna look good in my next videos :D

[@STRANJAH]

Thank you man! Just sent you an email!

Would love to see you try and make some uk ragga/jungletek like Vandal/Mandidextrous

[@BudgieDnB]

Some of my favourite artists

[@izzygramp7525]

thank you so much for covering this!! I've been trying so hard at making footwork for ages and keep coming into roadblocks so thank you!

[@resonatingergonomicsdnb2426]

From works by Anna Fruit and Nu Tone this style has evaded me for a long time and have wondered what the anatomy of the genre was. This is a good explainer. It is a genre with lots of room to grow and it is super fun to dance to. This video might help create a little army of new releases now that you have revealed some of the secrets to the genre. Thanks.

[@Artersa]

Something to add that helps make neat footwork chops is to have an instrument rack with an arp, and a simpler set to slices. Set up a stack of notes from (I think) C1 to C2. The arp device will begin playing arpeggiated slices at whatever speed you want (I find 4 or 8 notes at 1/3, 1/4, and 1/8 to be best). Great for… Keys, guitar, and vocals are best!

[@Artersa]

Also, for anyone interested in more info on how these rhythms came together, look into Om Unit and his Philip D Kick footwork jungle project (especially the Remarc - RIP edit), and Planet Mu (the label). Addison Groove also has some footwork material that’s ravey.

[@lurer_]

please do a orbcore tutorial, its basically jungle/breakcore and footwork combined

[@MrDarthSeriousmixes]

FAM would u b down to do one on Dancehall? would love to see ur take on it

Sure there was a period I was only making dancehall

[@AlfredNazGates]

Excellent, I'll try this genre myself. Awe yea, wheres the rave at? Was exactly my thought.

[@windowbreezes]

yay!!! thank you! finally!! people may be influenced with footwork jungle but always pay respect to the original chicago footwork vibe. if you want real footwork vibe, play the drum machine live and turn off quantization

[@ONE.MILLION.MEGA.HERTZ.]

How about some Miami Bass

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Excellent tutorial

[@nagruv_bbbb]

Nice tuto as always, be carefull lot of noise in your mic today 🙈

[@Alfred_English]

your track sounds like DJ Rashad meets Slick Shoota

[@STRANJAH]

I take that as a complement!

[@itsmeagain966]

Bookmarking this for later. The world-wide junglist crew thanks you for all your hard work 💙

[@MrOuija-rr8kq]

We really do love footwork in Chicago.

[@RonNachmann]

I know I'm late to this one, but besides saying that this is another killer Stranjah tutorial, I'd only add that it's interesting that by the end of the Footwork Jungle section, we're actually listening to something like early '90s "oldskool hardcore". That's because the break is left alone without any real time-stretching or stutter fills. If you're good with that, fine, but if you want to lean more junglist, you may just replace the ravey dotted 8th-note chords with a more reggae-ish echoed chording on the 2 and 4....

[@aime_33]

Would love to learn some nu skool breaks / breakbeat bass like Aquasky vs Masterblaster, Stanton Warriors, Plump DJs etc...

[@elbow333]

half of stranjahs videos are music history no one else teaches you and half of it is the most useful tips ever

[@STRANJAH]

Glad you enjoyed that!

[@simaoski5560]

i was googling this like crazy yesterday, are you some kind of algorythm?

[@STRANJAH]

No way?! That’s crazy lol

[@STRANJAH]

I hope it helps

[@riddimfernandez5139]

Ah ya, where's the rave at? ;) I am fortunate to be playing a fun outdoor event on the Nanaimo River this weekend on a sweet sound system.

[@basswitch525]

Good luck with your set man

[@chrissweetleaf5453]

Footwork / Juke Jungle, is just a mess. An abomination of the original genre...

[@Dachi40]

That “fake triplet” is actually called a “Tresillo” fun fact for you :p

[@eightrax]

Tearout breaks tutorial please? CTRL-Z and Screwface style

[@Jonny_Does_Breaks]

Would be cool. I used to really like the heavier side of breaks.

[@neoengerer6636]

great video from the teacher. never comment but this one deserves it, so clear and concise, the only video on jungle footwork that actually explains everything. thanks dude

[@jasonlieberman4606]

Subbed instantly when i discovered your channel, simply cuz you talk about jungle.

[@STRANJAH]

Welcome aboard!

[@kylewall8521]

Would be sick if you did a video discussing jungle breaks other than the classic amen. Funky mule and stuff. Your Apache vid was excellent

[@gboy1134]

Interesting.

[@FSwiftDJ]

Jungle Tekno I call it

[@vnayini]

Incredibly valuable tutorial. Thank you, Stranjah!

[@STRANJAH]

Glad it helped!

[@WhiteWhiskerMusica]

Trying to relate this style to house but hearing how high the tempo is kind of messed my brain up 😅 Even for a lot of jungle/d&b I hear, those kicks seem crazy fast to me. Im gunna have to look into this style more.

[@midilyfestyle]

My recommendation, in two parts. 1) Look up DJ Assault stuff from the 90s. Super raunchy, sped up ghetto house around 155 bpm. It's four to the floor with chanted vocals about booties, fuckin', etc. We're in Detroit where cars come from and everyone calls liquor stores "party stores." Speed is king. 2) From there, it's not that hard to imagine dance competitions.And it's not hard to imagine them getting more aggressive, like battle dancing. Especially once this style is back over in Chicago across Lake Michigan. The beats are tenser. The patterns are getting weirder. The weirder the beats, the faster and weirder dancer's feet are getting. We're in the dance circle and the energy is tense. We've arrived at Footwork. Search youtube for footwork battles, watch the dancing, it will all make sense.

[@grindFish]

Every one of your videos give me the big brain lightbulb, this one no exception. really broke through the confusion I had on getting the footwork sound together, having a blast right now in Ableton 👽👌

[@xsm5525]

the sub genre Afro Footwork is even cooler!

[@STRANJAH]

Wow didn't know of the genre.

[@frang2737]

Where can I find some of this?

[@ElemuntDesign]

Would love to see you explain the workings of gqom, really interesting genre, illumination boiz, Slikback, DJ polo, and Nazar are all operating in this space with amazing music. I'd also like to see you tackle the Shanghai styles of drum music by the likes of 33EMYBW, really interesting drum patterns and rhythms found here also..

[@tenaibms]

Fuck yes stranjah

Footwork jungle, more early 90's hardcore.

[@primus223]

on those kicks, you gotta rush that 3rd kick in the triplet. It sounds closer to how they beat that shit out on the mpc. And in juke, make that 1st kick come a 16th before the actual 1 beat, and you'll instantly get that skip and bounce

[@signalfreud]

This is the only youtube tutorial I could find that isn't half assed, and it seems incredibly rude to half ass this genre

[@mathewsenn]

@2:21 aha! so "halftime" juke is also kinda halftime

[@STRANJAH]

Clever!!
