Welcome -

Coming almost 10 years after the release of the original compilations - 

I am excited to share with you the 4th installment of the 'CRACK' Juke/Footwork series: 'CRACK IV' A selection of 60 lost tracks circa 2007 - 2010, once again keying in on the myspace era of this genre.

As stated on the original post back in 2013: - The point of these compilations was “to receive a non-jaded representation of what juke / footwork sounds like (or, better yet, sounded like during this time) (not the trap / UK-influenced sound).” 

This is still my intent. 

The other main goal here is to make these tracks accessible to the original DJs/Producers that lost their work - (this has been one of the most important parts of me puting this together). -

I really hope you enjoy - and a huge thank you to the person that helped make this possible 

- SELA. _____

ORIGINAL POST - CRACK I - III / READ MORE: https://selaone.tumblr.com/post/182514691928/crack-i-iii-the-lost-juke-footwork https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/644-footworks-forgotten-archives-are-making-the-best-compilations-youve-never-heard/

Hello,

A little over 5 years later, I (SELA.) am here again to bring you a revised / updated version of the 3 CRACK compilations that were released on tumblr during the fall of 2013 / 14’. These files are remastered, and some additional information / tags have been added.

What is the reason for this release?

Well, in short: for archival purposes. All music from MySpace as of last year is now “no longer available and cannot be retrieved.” (There is an issue with all songs/videos uploaded over 3 years ago.)

Please read the following and also see the links included to truly understand what I’m saying.

https://help.myspace.com/hc/en-us/articles/202233310-Where-Is-All-My-Old-Stuff-

The point of these compilations (as originally stated) was “to receive a non-jaded representation of what juke / footwork sounds like (or, better yet, sounded like during this time) (not the trap / UK-influenced sound).” This is still my intent. I still think this specific period of this kind of music is just… something else. Entirely. High level ghetto electronic insanity completely out of the left-field with the arrangements, the sample flips / interpretations, the play on BPM, the BASS… All still basically unmatched by any other music and it’s been about 10 years now. I still truly feel that this music (not just these compilations specifically) and the artists that created it are something that needs to be appreciated. There is a very special / instinctive / unique energy that forms on the dance floor when this music is DJ’d properly.

But, this is just my opinion.

Again, this all took a lot of time, and I really hope you enjoy it. You can also click here to learn more about what went into putting these together.

Also, an additional note (to address these things once and for all): The few inaccuracies with the original 2013 compilation (mistitled tracks, etc.) were simply due to me using the information that was available at the time (the titles / information that were on the tracks when I found them). I was 19 when I put these together and it was released exclusively as a post on tumblr with a zippyshare link. Attempts were made to reach out to an amount of the artists included in these compilations during that time but many profiles and emails were inactive / non-existent (I also didn’t know that a good amount of people were connected solely in exclusive Facebook groups until later on). These compilations have never, at any point been used for any kind of monetary gain (or otherwise). These accusations started because a Bandcamp page was created for the third compilation (CRACK III) so people could stream the album before downloading as people had complained about the file size and not being able to preview songs with the previous two. This page was always streaming only, and had purchasing / downloading completely disabled from the very beginning and you can literally see that here.

 … and I think that’s it!

There was going to possibly be a CRACK IV, and I do have an amount of songs for it, but I was never able to do the final part of my searching about 2 years ago because of the problem with the content on Myspace not loading. Maybe one day…
