    Jersey club is a style of dance music created by Black DJs from New Jersey. Recently, this sound has gone viral online across RUclips, Instagram, and Tik Tok. The sound is in the mainstream again after Drake released his album Honestly, Nevermind. Like many other dance genres the music production used to be dominated by men, but today the women of New Jersey are helping to push this genre to new heights.
    Our host, LA Buckner gets introduced to the world of club music by UNIIQU3, a producer that's taking Jersey club to the next level. Also watch the icon, DJ Tameil, talk us through the historical roots of the Jersey club rhythm. This genre isn't just music - it's life, energy, and community, creating a safe space for the young people of New Jersey.
    Special thanks to Kelchurhub for the filming location.

      You can’t leave out Detroit Jit (as in Jitterbug) or Chicago Juke, now the Jersey Club sound is more accessible than Juke or Jit (you might want to listen to Dance Mania’s catalog, but to borrow what Chris Rock Women that listen to stuff from that label, their response: “They Ain’t talking about *me* “) but this is a good thing.

Me and my crew would have literal free style dance sessions for hours wu tanging and spongebobbing and all the hype dances at the time. We were obsessed! It was nothing like it to get us hype!!! Wished we could have experienced a real jersey club party cuz they still weren't playing it much down here at that time. But I would see the videos on RUclips of how hard it went up there and be in awe, we were dancing fools me and my crew so this sound and culture gave us life man. Even from outside the club lol.

      BMore Club laid the foundation in the 90s; its a little more raw, dirty, unpolished, in part due to the technology at the time. Jersey Club is an offshoot; higher production quality, different sampling styles, sprinkles of "electronic music" "dirty south"... jersey took bmore Club somewhere else so it'd be unfair to say that bmore club is coming out of jersey. I'm not sure, but I think DC GoGo had something to do with all this too.

    So much in this sound is things I've heard and didn't know what I was hearing. There's so much history here - for some reason I still tend to think of dance music as "new" and understanding that this culture, this sound, has been around just about as long as ME is eye opening. Once again you have opened a new door I didn't even see was there, and given me new ways to think about the music I was already hearing as well as even more wonderful music to explore.
    May the new year bring us all a little closer in our hearts and I hope I have dozens more searches to put into my Spotify because of Sound Field!

      How can it be Chicago than Baltimore?
      Did you forget that Frankie Knuckles from Brooklyn is the Godfather of House?
      Baltimore didn’t get into House music until the late 80's.
      NY, NJ, and Philly already was doing club music and house music in the late 70's/early 80's.

    • @BTman58
      @BTman58 2 года назад

      @Tiffanie Gee
      Let me help you out with words from some Pioneers from Baltimore.
      "In the late '80s, when club music was just starting to figure itself out, Baltimore house spread far beyond the city limits. The genesis of both genres, one hyper-regional, the other soon to be massively influential, began, according to Douglas, at the Baltimore dance club Odell's, during "the tail end of disco."
      Wayne Davis, who would later open Club Fantasy and the Paradox, was a DJ there. He played what Douglas excitedly calls, "a big soulful mesh" of disco, Philly soul, new wave, and house. Davis' sets, along with trips to clubs "all up and down the East Coast" like New York's Paradise Garage, inspired the Basement Boys' sound.
      Thommy Davis, Douglas, and Steinhour formed the Basement Boys in 1986, developing a decidedly modern take on house that also looked back to disco's live instrumentation.
      They recorded in the basement of Steinhour's Druid Hill Avenue rowhouse-hence the name. Perhaps their best known track is Crystal Waters' 1991 hit "Gypsy Woman," which at one point or another has wormed its way into your head thanks to Waters' "la da dee, la dee da" chorus, but stayed there thanks to the song's ornate, sturdy drums and fluttering keyboard line.
      "It's Over Now," however, is where it began. The record, tugged along by a saxophone, shuffling electronics, and Naté's confidently conversational vocals, got into the hands of Tony Humphries, who hosted a radio mix show in New York and London and DJed at the influential New Jersey nightclub Zanzibar.
      "The Basement Boys and I wrote a song, and they sent it to Tony Humphries, and next thing I know I'm offered a deal with Warner Brothers UK," Naté recalls, still a bit stunned 22 years later. Like that, Baltimore became a part of house's shift from the underground to pop. By the early '90s, the Basement Boys were producing for three acts on three different major labels: Naté on Warner Brothers UK, Waters on Mercury/A&M, and Mass Order on Columbia."
      Studio 54 was for white people. Clubs like the Garage and Zanzibar were not playing Studio 54 music. If they were.. then why would the Basement Boyz even send their record to Tony Humphries and why would he play it?

    The name "Jersey Club" is starting to gain traction, but the sound is old, just repackaged and rebranded in the TikTok era. You've heard of this sound before if you heard DJ Assault's classic "A*** & T**ties" or "It's Time for Da Perculator" in the mid- & late '90s in Chicago (which I'm surprised this documentary didn't touch on). Back in the early 2000s this sound was coming out of Detroit and the Great Lakes area and it was called GhettoTech back then.
    DJ Assault, and others, used to broadcast music like this from the St Andrews dance parties in Detroit, early 2000s. Now it's going by a different name. A lot of Detroit Ghetto Tech absorbed elements of Miami Bass and Atlanta/Florida Bass/Quad music and of course classic Detroit Techno and Chicago House, which all inspired B-More and Jersey Club Music. Jersey Club is like Detroit GHETTO TECH mixed with JIT and Chicago JUKE HOUSE.
