Not just footwork but all of dance music. It’s safe to say that without Rashad and the music he made and championed dance music would be unrecognizable today. So many of us work under the influence of what he gave us. Rashad touched dance music like no one ever had

Today marks the 8th anniversary of the legendary DJ Rashad's passing. The Chicago producer was one of the main catalysts behind the rise of the footwork genre in the 2010s, pulling in new fans from all around the world. Here is a thread of our favourite Rashad tracks.

I’m worried that a list w 1300 black artists is probably a bit intimidating to look at. I hope that your support of black artists continues farther than just a bandcamp day

Frankie started a booking agency which I would argue has been the most influential thing to happen to the business of dance music since it started. Then she went on and put together a festival to highlight the many black electronic music artists that are directly around her. Wow

i think that a rough part of (trying) to DJ is that something that used to be pure joy and pleasure (the rave) is no longer that and suddenly a place of high stress & anxiety. (am i cool enough, why didn't i get booked, was that interaction weird, did i say the wrong thing. etc.)

If your mad that RA and other outlets are covering BLACK artists who have always been there while you, someone used to getting coverage, are seeing your coverage drop. Please consider quitting for a year at least and have a think about why you’re doing this other than the bag

There is a legit a techno Twitter and a techno ig. They are two distinctly different places. Ig is where European techno influencers can post insensitive pics and vids and recieve praise for nothing. Then they try to come to twitter w that and get smacked around
