Review: Footwork junkie Kesmo is a bit of a badman when it comes to constructing heavy waves of wayward juke music and, as surprising as it may seem, this is only his second release to date and the dude is already on an LP flex! Brainfoot is the best LP of the week in our charts. Yes, that is an old statement, but we wouldn't say it if it weren't absolutely true; from start to finish, this is easily the finest slice of bass that you're likely to find or there. Let's be honest, if you kick off with a tune like "Footure", a breaks-ridden, jungle-curbing anthem for the heads, you can only go up and up. And, that's exactly what happens here. For fans of Night Slugs et al...
Review: Being from Chicago, it's perhaps unsurprising that Dance Mania legend DJ Deeon has been inspired by the sounds of footwork. This EP for the party-hearty chaps at Booty Call doffs a cap to the footwork phenomenon, offering sped-up 808 jams with a variety of cheeky, X-rated hip-hop vocal samples (see "Get Buk", "I Heard" and "Drop Pop Shake It"). There's also a foray into the world of B-more (with, of course, plenty of cheap-sounding juke synth stabs) in the shape of "I Told You So", and a curious 4/4 electro/jackin' house jam, "Lightspeed". Curiously, it's probably the strongest cut on an EP full of tried-and-tested party bangers.
