Ghetto House - Juke and Europe

Juke and Europe

Juke/Footwork has been popular in the clubs of Europe particularly in Paris and Brussels for a number of years with the Booty Call club nights and artists such as Kill Frenzy and DJ Hilti putting out releases via the Juke Trax label. It has however only recently begun to flourish in UK clubs, due to the "Bangs and Works Volume 1" compilation on the Planet Mu label. Though earlier releases by DJ Slugo can be found on UK label WIDE, Planet Mu were the first to grab any media attention.

Various artists evolving around what is often labeled by various subcultural media as the deeper or rather avant-garde sub-sonorities of dubstep music, have started to integrate juke elements to their works in the last few years, perhaps subsequently to the recent bloom of juke music in Europe. Labels such as Swamp81 and artists such as Addison Groove and Pearson Sound have started to incorporate elements of juke and ghetto house to their recent productions.
