True cornerstone of&nbsp;house&#8217;s evolution, Footwork&nbsp;also frequently feature heavily syncopated samples from rap, pop, and other sources, and are often around 160 bpm. Then producers start to experiment. Some tracks like <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x-NkdeRU2vU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>DJ Rashad<\/strong>&#8216;s &#8220;Reverb&#8221;<\/a> are as close as concrete music as house music. Jlin is one them, pushing Footwork boundaries over. Here is her own definition of this genre :<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">&#8220;I view footwork as an African based modern dance music that fits this era in time. The music itself is based out of Chicago, but the root is based out Africa. That&#8217;s just my opinion though. Everybody sees things differently, doesn&#8217;t make them right or wrong per se. Footwork to me is formed of expression that comes from within,&#8221; she explains to <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/thump.vice.com\/en_uk\/article\/stepping-to-a-new-beat-jlin-confounds-footwork-expectations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THUMP<\/a>. &#8220;It is a dance that takes consistency and persistence to master. I believe footwork is set out to create good frequencies and vibrations into the world in the form of dance.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Listen to <em>Black Origami<\/em> via <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/2017\/05\/11\/527658691\/first-listen-jlin-black-origami\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR<\/a> :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/player\/embed\/527658691\/527660673\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6867\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ZIQ376_Jlin_BO.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ZIQ376_Jlin_BO.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ZIQ376_Jlin_BO-759x759.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ZIQ376_Jlin_BO-1010x1010.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ZIQ376_Jlin_BO-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ZIQ376_Jlin_BO-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ZIQ376_Jlin_BO-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ZIQ376_Jlin_BO-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ZIQ376_Jlin_BO-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ZIQ376_Jlin_BO-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ZIQ376_Jlin_BO-73x73.jpg 73w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jlin&#8217;s new album Black Origami out 19 May via Planet Mu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":6858,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3944],"tags":[5226,40905],"location":[],"yst_prominent_words":[8576,8403,28233,10662,16473,38662,9174,8414,8542,11517,9006,8400,8412,8543],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42710"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42710"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=42710"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=42710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
