EQ Why Real Name Tyrone Smith Formerly Recording As DJ T-Why Bridges The Chicago Footwork Scene And The Experimental Music Underground With His Raw Abstract Tracks. While His Tracks Retain The Fast Choppy Tempos And Aggressive Sometimes Sexually Explicit Vocal Samples Typical Of Juke And Footwork He Often Incorporates Jungle-Influenced Breakbeats And More Offbeat Samples. His Work Stylistically Draws A Line Between Footwork's Chicago Home Base And Its Stranger Japanese Variation As Reflected By EQ Why's Chitokyo Mixtape From 2013. Smith Was Affiliated With Bosses Of The Circle A Footwork Collective Founded By DJ Roc In 2005 That Later Included Artists Such As Young Smoke And Jlin. All Of These Artists Were Featured On Planet Mu's Bangs & Works Vol. 2 Compilation In 2011 Which Included Three Selections By T-Why. He Released A Few Mixtapes Under This Name Before Changing His Moniker To EQ Why In 2012. Starting With That Year's Equalized EP He Began Releasing A Staggering Amount Of Music Online. read less
