What is juke?
Juke is footwork's direct ancestor, a Chicago party music built on stripped-down 808 drum patterns and a faster, more insistent tempo than the ghetto house it grew out of. It kept the raw, DIY drum-machine sound of its predecessors while pushing the energy up toward what would eventually become footwork's dance-battle intensity. It shares footwork's 155 to 165 BPM range.
320 tracks averaging 137 BPM, most between 80 and 160 BPM.
How to mix juke
Juke sits at 155 to 165 BPM, so most tracks beatmatch without a big tempo pull. Here is how to mix it cleanly by tempo, key and energy.
The sound: stripped 808, party music, chicago origin, pre-footwork.
Tempo
target 155 to 165 BPM, with 160 as the practical center. With key lock on you can pitch a track roughly 150 to 170 BPM and still beatmatch cleanly.
Harmonics
the most common keys in juke here are 11A, 9B, 10A. Mix within the same Camelot key or one step around the wheel for a smooth blend, and check the wheel before layering two melodic tracks.
Energy
juke averages 69 out of 100 here, best suited to the build and mid-set. Sequence tracks so energy rises and dips deliberately rather than staying flat.
Juke by key
Jump to a single key: every track on these pages sits in the same Camelot key, so they all mix harmonically with each other.

Methodology
How we keep this honest.
From real catalogues
The juke artists and tracks here come from analyzed DJ catalogues, not a hand-picked list. A genre earns a page once at least two artists carry it.
Data-derived readings
Every BPM, key and energy figure is computed from audio analysis of the actual recordings, not estimated or copied from a third-party API.
