the murmurs about boylan, one of the most slept-on ghettoteknitians in chicago, have been getting louder, with many hailing him the “best white juke producer,” and the unlikely beatsmith (and full-time high school teacher by day) has been rolling out the kind of heat that proves the respect is well-deserved. dude definitely knows what he’s […]

the murmurs about boylan, one of the most slept-on ghettoteknitians in chicago, have been getting louder, with many hailing him the “best white juke producer,” and the unlikely beatsmith (and full-time high school teacher by day) has been rolling out the kind of heat that proves the respect is well-deserved. dude definitely knows what he’s doing.
his new e.p. mystery, slated for an april 26th on ghettophiles, should help too. preview below via minimix courtesy of starfoxxx.
Starfoxxx – Boylan Minimix by Ghettophiles
here’s an exclusive non-e.p. track that boylan gave us to post:
boylan – holdin’ on
check his mixcloud for a handful of mixes including this one: it’s from september, but it’s packed with tracks i’d never heard, and definitely one of the coldest, most tripped-out juke mixes to ever enter my ears:
boylan‘s e.p. mystery drops on 4.26.11 on ghettophiles.

labelmates starfoxxx, makers of the boylan e.p. minimix attached above, have a release of their own dropping the following week also on ghettophiles. they are amassing a pretty deep vault of tracks on their soundcloud, displaying a chameleon-like ability to adapt to different dance styles, and an absolutely voracious appetite when it comes to sampling, unafraid to juke out anything from tears for fears to willow smith.
the self-titled e.p. finds the trio breaking away from the juke template to explore their own ground, and it fits snugly alongside current electronic innovators like nguzunguzu and the night slugs camp. our favorite track off their e.p. is actually a bonus track by “starfaux” (member david beltran solo). despite the “bonus track” status, this one’s definitely a scorching blast of heat:
excloose mp3:
Starfaux – More, ya dig
preview the whole new e.p. with this minimix they compiled:
starfoxxx’ self-titled e.p. is out 5.5.11 on ghettophiles.

more ghettophiles heat: dj manny, a disciple of footwork linchpins dj rashad and dj spinn, has established himself as a “synth & kush addicted maniac,” and both are omnipresent on his new ep harveyworld. “aw shit,” has to be our favorite… hyper-speed dancefloor-ready euphoria with some severely stoned synth mumbles entering in the middle, pure weird. serious watch on this talented young producer.
dj manny – aw shit
off harveyworld / here.
here’s the ep track ghettophiles is pushing, also great:
DJ Manny – Runnin by Ghettophiles
also, ghe20 gothik mashed & mixed manny’s track “rush hour” with bjork’s “the pleasure,” to tasty results:
THE PLEASURE (bjork x manny) VX edit by GHE2O GOTHIK XCLUSV
also take a peek at his insane footworking skills (to a new earl track) below, starting at :40sec. dude has become so impressive at dancing that he was invited to the newly-formed legend clique, which brings together best footworkers of the past decade. scope:
ghettophiles is a chicago label + artist collective tagged as juke/footwork. but beyond labels, when everything falls into place, it surpasses dance music and enters the realm of true, emotive electronic creations.
simple and effective, this sade recontextualization by newcomer jody breeze transports the listener to an elevated earth where there are no walls, just bass. the result strikes many chords: it’s danceable yet hypnotic and soothing, matured modern dance music with intentions to create a world that is beautiful and new and futuristic yet still heavily indebted to the past.
whatever it is, this track is sounding like the pinnacle of music right now.
(do NOT listen on laptop speakers.)
bonus ghettophiles:
DJ Spinn – YYYY
catch jody’s footwork at the beginning of the video: (here too.)

[thanks laurel halo for the tip, ghettophiles for sending us these mp3s, and sasha winn for helping with words]
Last night was the final episode of ghe20 gothik, a swirling, jerking celebration of our inner raver avatars. Dj’s decended from the next level giving earthlings an idea what it sounds like up there. dj rashad, 1/2 of the conspiracy behind ghettoteknitianz graced us with his juke. the ceiling split open revealing a virtual world above, where the footwork goes as fast as your processor can handle.
