JUKE
Juke is the fast, hard-edged Chicago dance music that grew out of 1990s ghetto house, played at gyms, park district dances and picnics on the South and West Sides.[1] DJ Puncho and Gant-Man pushed the word, using it on their 1997 track "Juke It" and on mixtapes, and by 2002 it had stuck.[1] Dance Mania, the label behind early ghetto house by DJ Funk, DJ Milton and DJ Slugo, closed in 2000.[2] A Gantman remix of Beyonce's "Check On It" was reportedly the first juke track released by a major label, Columbia.[2]
