Rather UNiiQU3

UNiiQU3 - UNiiQU3'S Groove (Get Down)
(From UNiiQU3'S Groove (Get Down) single; 2020)


Pretty funny that this has ended up one of my favourite choonz of 2020 - Jersey Club is not a type of music I've had any interest in previously, so UNIIQU3 is the siren luring me onto Jersey's shore. Basically, this track is some Loopmasters sample pack Hip-House which strikes the exact perfect balance between Hip-Hop and House; straight to the pleasure-centre dance music that'll turn your living room into a rave pon lockdown and beyond.

Mere coincidence or is UNiiQU3's moniker a homage to British Rave pioneers Unique 3? Top tip for Jersey Club producers: pitch Unique 3's Musical Melody instrumental up slightly, add some booty-chatter™, and you've got yourself the first great banger of 2021.

    Gotta pass on those, m8 - I just can't listen to rapping by someone with a septum ring.

    imo the best club tracks can also be filed under 'minimalist crooklyn clan' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01ThGl6FWkE&ab_channel=%23TEAMJERSEY

    Cheers. 'Minimalist Crooklyn Clan' is exactly what I'm looking for in this type of stuff. Having said that, I'm also partial to 'Todd Terry reduxes'.

    I fuxwit a few Rich Gang songs still, but I've banned Young Thug as a solo artist from my speakers.

    A man's gotta have a code innit.

    you taking an anti-young thug position is the 2020 version of those bronx nottingham guys being like "outkast can't even rap, m8"

    baltimore/jersey club actually got its start by mixing booty bass with uk rave tunes in the 1990s. this track was apparently huge in bmore for years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1opP7tNLzg
