Juke Roundup - Strings


Diffusion favourite DJ Earl perfectly exemplifies the sonic dialectics that make juke such an intriguing genre. Booming bangs and frantic drums are paired with soft string swirls and a beautifully ditty-ing piano line achieve a synthesis that perfectly balances dance funktionality and aesthetic experimentation.

Avery here delves further into the ambient. The bangs are first replaced with sub drones, the drum line features a reversed snare, and the song is accompanied by a swelling synth loop - this is unchartered and exciting territory!

A classic soul-slamming roller from DJ LJ. Keeping things on the chill with (you guessed it) a swathe of Roy Ayers samples, the track also features the flutter of suspended strings in the background and the gentle roll of hand drums. Sweet and mellow vibes.
