Juke music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in Chicago during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its fast tempo, typically around 160 beats per minute, and features heavy use of samples, often from hip-hop, house, and R&B tracks. The music often includes repetitive beats and catchy melodies, making it popular in dance clubs. The genre is closely associated with the Chicago footwork dance style, which emphasizes quick foot movements and intricate choreography. Juke music has influenced various other genres and has gained recognition beyond Chicago, contributing to the broader electronic music scene.
