Chicago footwork pioneer DJ Rashad has died. He was 34.
Born Rashad Hanif Harden in Hammond, Indiana, DJ Rashad co-founded the Teklife crew and rose to prominence in the footwork and juke scenes, pushing his 160-BPM tracks farther than most of his contemporaries. Tracks like “I Don’t Give A Fuck” were widely hailed by dance and non-dance fans alike, and last fall he and DJ Spinn toured the United States opening for Chance The Rapper.
