With the other individual producers -- including the Chicago D.J. Gant-Man and the Swedish duo of Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello -- the songs reference '80s digital pop (like "Don't Go," by Yaz), and play around with different kinds of club music: '90s acid house, frenetic Chicago juke house, slow-rolling hip-hop.
Footwork is synonymous with Teklife and its pioneering Chicago DJs the late Rashad, who passed away in 2014, along with Earl, RP Boo, Spinn, Gant-Man and Traxman.
Alongside friends and frequent collaborators like RP Boo, DJ Clent, and Gant-Man, he caught the attention of the international music community in a way that hadn't happened since the mid-90s.
His collaborations "Acid Life" with Gant-Man and "Bombaklot" with DJ Earl and DJ Taye are featured on the forthcoming Hyperdub 10th anniversary celebration album "Hyperdub 10.1″ which will be released May 20th.
Multi-genre Chicago dance music veteran and Teklife member, Gant-Man, has shared a thrillingly high-energy juke remix of Kanye West's "Fade," off his just-released album The Life of Pablo.

Gant-Man's version does pretty much exactly what you'd want a juke rework of the track to do: the tempo is of course revved up to a ripping 160 bpm, some ear-tickling synths are added in for punctuation, and the percussion he implements is uncontainable, totally off the wall.
Thursday through Saturday, men's and women's clothing and accessories from the preppy-modern fall and winter collections of GANT, GANT RUGGER AND GANT BY MICHAEL BASTIAN will be up to 80 percent off at 260 Fifth Avenue, (212) 72125400.
In addition to its polo shirts, cable knits and relaxed denim, the new store will carry items by Michael Bastian, who collaborates with Gant on a line of sporty-chic basics for men and women, as well as limited-edition leather goods that will be sold only at the NoLIta shop.
According to Gant: "The real money in Hollywood is for guys who, as the cliche has it, men want to be, and women want to be with.
