Wasting Time (Hood Joplin VIP)

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.

FML Mixtape Vol. 1





SUCIA! and DJ Manny present FML Mixtape Vol 1, a collection highlighting their community of fellow music lovers from all walks of life. Based around their party series of the same name, this compilation features everything from footwork to r&b, techno, rap and even a punk song. Its purpose is to display the wide range of talent within their peers, and showcase the current sounds of dance music from NYC to the rest of the world.



Featured here among the mixtape’s 22 tracks are Teklife representative Mel G (Low Key Recs), Bronx-based dark tunnel techno specialist Total XTC (Body Journey), Rare Frequency Transmissions' co-founder Dynoman, Anito Soul representing Planet Queer nyc's collective, and jazz chord virtuoso Tomu DJ (Girl House). Rather than run with a rigid genre or small circle scene focus, the curation of this compilation was a natural process of selecting friends with similar mindsets. The alt kids who listen to R&B, the ravers that love hip-hop, the punk bands that write songs about sex workers, good music knows no bounds and that is what is presented here.



For Music Lovers is about community, diversity & representation. It’s about worldwide celebration of the black and queer dance music and those that hold respect for its roots.

All funds made from this project will go direct back to the artists involved.
