Footwork, also called juke,[2] footwork/juke or Chicago juke, is a genre of electronic dance music derived from ghetto house with elements of hip hop, first appearing in Chicago in the late 1990s.[3] The music style evolved from the earlier, rapid rhythms of ghetto house, a change pioneered by RP Boo.[4] It may draw from the rapid rhythms and sub-bass frequencies of drum & bass.[5] Tracks also frequently feature heavily syncopated samples from rap, pop and other sources, and are often around 160 bpm.[6]
