Ranked No. 2 in Juke and Footwork
Ghetto house at its most reduced: a drum pattern, a bassline and a chant. Deeon made records that cost nothing and worked on any system, which is why they travelled so far from Chicago.
Freak Like Me
1994 · Dance Mania
Picked by 1994
Chicago ghetto house at the point where it starts to become the thing that becomes footwork. It is here because a whole subsequent genre is recognisably downstream of records like this one, made on almost nothing.

Freak Like Me
1994 · Dance Mania
Picked by Miami
Chicago's ghetto house takes the same overlong, tuned kick rather than the house records made in its own city — the lineage note on our footwork ranking says exactly that. A drum pattern, a bassline, a chant, and nothing that costs money.
