Ghettotech

A genre of electronic music originating in Detroit. It combined elements of Chicago’s ghetto house with electro, Detroit techno, Miami bass, and UK garage. It features four-on-the-floor rhythms and is usually faster than most other dance music genres, at roughly 145–160 BPM. Vocals are often repetitive, crude, and pornographic. A Detroit ghettotech style of dancing is called the jit. This dance style relies heavily on fast footwork combinations, drops, spins, and improvisations. Chicago’s equivalent dance style is juke. 1990s.
