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.

Real house, real rapping and genderfluid. (plus good songtitles)

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

Glad you addressed the Unique 3 thing :)

I hope it's true.

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'.

do you even abstain from peak septum piercing young thug? other than him i can’t think of anybody with one you’d be wrong to dismiss *shakes fist in anderson.paak’s direction*

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.

noz said...

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

Noz, how dare you! I was always more of a Rich Homie Quan guy anyway.

Kyle, now that is a surprise. Wtf?
