vol 5: vibeistan

Born from juke and ghetto house, footwork is the sound of high-energy dance battles and parties, its rapid rhythms mirroring its dancers’ racing feet. It’s a vibe that EQ Why knows inside and out, having been embedded in the scene since the mid-noughties as part of the Bosses of the Circle collective. In the past decade, his production rate has been dizzying, with dozens of EPs released on his own Equalized Records, showcasing an adventurous, experimental take on the classic sound. Collaborations with the likes of Traxman, DJ Elmoe and DJ Roc, and two appearances on Planet Mu’s ‘Bangs & Works, Vol. 2’ compilation (as DJ T-Why) have further solidified his place in the pantheon of footwork, and he is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.


Nascendo da combinação do juke com o ghetto house, footwork é o som de batalhas de dança de alta energia e de festas, com seus ritmos espelhando os pés frenéticos dos dançarinos. É uma vibe que o EQ Why conhece do começo ao fim, tendo participado ativamente na cena desde da metade dos anos 90 como parte do coletivo Bosses of the Circle. Desde a década passada, seu ritmo de produção tem sido vertiginoso, com dezenas de EPs lançados na sua própria gravadora Equalized Records, demonstrando uma leitura experimental aventureira do som clássico. Colaborações com talentos como Traxman, DJ Elmoe and DJ Roc e duas aparições na compilação da Planet Mu ‘Bands & Works, Vol.2’ (assinando como DJ T-Why), solidificaram seu lugar no panteão do footwork.

I play jungle while reading about gender abolition

Why so serious?

Know what they say, know what they do
I'm with the gang and we running through
Nothing to pay, nothing to prove
Get out my way when we running through

I'm on my pop shit
I'm gonna rock shit
All on the way to the top
You better stop it
Already lost it
Your girl been giving me top

Why would I care 'bout nobody?
She all on my body
I get what I want
Talk about killing nobody
But ain't no-one safe on the way to the top
