Brenmar's history of Chicago juke mix for Ssense

You know how it is: you're halfway through the week, you're tired, and you need something – anything – to satisfy your mid-morning jacking needs.

Thankfully, Chicago-born DJ Brenmar is here to help. He's put together a mix for Ssense that traces the history of the city's ghetto house music and juke, leading right up to the days just before it mutated into footwork. It's all raw, body-moving music, starting out in the 1980s and moving through the years up until the mid-'00s.

There's no tracklist, but the eagle-eyed listener should recognise a few classics in there, like Adonis' No Way Back, Jody "Fingers" Finch's Jack Your Big Booty, and Frankie Knuckles/Jamie Principle's Baby Wants to Ride in the mix's earlier sections. Later on, it moves into more defined ghetto house territories, with tracks by the likes of DJ Gant-Man and DJ Deeon cropping up – understandably, it all starts to get a little more lyrically dubious.

For music from Brenmar that's equally sweaty (albeit in a far different way), check out his two R&B themed Dummy Mixes here and here.
