Jersey club

Jersey club (originally called Brick City club[1]) is a style of electronic club music that originated in Newark, New Jersey in the early 2000s. It was pioneered by DJ Tameil, Mike V, DJ Tim Dolla, and DJ Black Mic of the Brick Bandits crew, who were inspired by Baltimore club's uptempo hybrid of house and hip hop. Other young producers also pushed for the progression of this style of music in the late 2000s.[2]

Similarly to its Baltimore influences, Jersey club is an aggressive style defined by its fast, “bouncy” groove at tempos near 130–140 BPM,[2] but more prominent use of staccato, chopped samples and heavy triplet kick patterns.[3] The style often consists of remixes of rap and R&B tracks.[3] It is often accompanied by frenetic, competitive dances which have gained global popularity through viral videos.[1]
