In the ongoing rebirth of explicit poly-rhythms and super syncopated percussive goodness in African-American music, B-more/Philly and Newark/Jersey Club is a particularly sexy and fun permutation, and has been gaining momentum for a number of years, bursting with musical and dance ideas.  Vice just made a documentary and in 2015 i think it will finally invade dance floors all over in a big way.  (Next month i will be playing the first Vice sponsored Club Jersey party in London – stay tuned)

All about that triplet kick at the end of every 4 bars: the Clave pattern predominant in Afro-Cuban music coming boldly to the fore, rather than subtly hidden or merely suggested, the way it has been in the straight 4/4 of House, Disco, and Funk.  Add a bunch of syncopated off-beat snares, cheeky samples, a mad tactile compositional sense of abrupt drastic changes and stop’n’switch dynamics, infectious Hip Hop, R’n’B, and Pop elements, and an extra dose of bass — Jersey Club is a contender with Kuduro as pretty much the most unadulterated fun and energy possible on the dance floor (and sometimes indeed can be similar to the Angolan sound).  From twerkalicious party bounce, to hyperactive teenage pop euphoria, to maniacal murderous hood darkness, this mix spans a very broad emotional spectrum.
