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.

Nikes is a Phoenix based musician, producer, and DJ. After a decade long background as a classically trained violinist and playing rhythm guitar in a Hardcore Metal band, discovering the electronic music world was the key to fusing a multitude of inspiration eventually arriving at bass driven club hybrid sounds.

Previously out of Austin, Texas, Nikes was a staple of the Austin dance music scene, and has played countless shows, both official and unofficial, at SXSW over the span of many years.

An avid track maker, he's always on to the next sound and doesn't like to stay in one lane. He remembers almost tossing the now featured track Quick Witit before his buddy from across the world sent him a video of it blasting at a club in Brazil:

"Seeing my unreleased tracks being used in live shows (Quick Witit) on an audience that speaks a different language but still vibing and dancing (when I thought it was a throwaway track) gave me confidence knowing the music was transcendent of cultural/language boundaries. Much to love to the people of Brazil."

Hesk is a Footwork DJ and producer from the Netherlands, currently based out of Toronto, playing a key role in the diffusion of Footwork and Juke in Canada since 2010.

"While working on Cleansed the primary focus was to make cold, footwork-battle ready tracks while still keeping club dance floors in mind. I pushed my boundaries as a producer, experimenting with more minimal and less-sounding tracks composed primarily of drums, sub bass, and synthesizers. Whereas in the past I've focused my productions around a Soul or RnB heavy sound that often includes samples, for this project I mainly used hardware such as the Dave Smith OB-6 and the Roland MC-307."
