Jersey Club has been making some serious waves in the past year and has quickly become one of our favorite genres at FUXWITHIT. Though it’s been around for over a decade, it has just recently garnered worldwide attention. If you’ve listen to our Satin Sheets x Silk Beats playlists you should be quite familiar. If not, this the perfect way to get acquainted. We’ve listed 6 of our favorite Jersey Club producers below and we feel there’s no better way to familiarize yourself with a musical genre than by listening to it. Some may take offense to us including so many producers from outside of New Jersey, but that’s fine let us know in the comments. Without further adieu let’s get into it.
Dj Sliink – Hailing from New Jersey, the self proclaimed “Jersey Club King” has been instrumental in bringing Jersey Club music to a world wide audience. I originally came across Sliink on his collab with Flosstradamus – ‘Test Me’ and have been watching him closely ever since. Since then, Sliink has dropped some the biggest Jersey Club tracks to date. His collaboration with DJ Hoodboi & Trippy Turtle on the remix of August Alsina – ‘Sucka’ is the perfect track to introduce newcomers to the genre. His remix of Toni Romiti – Miss Me ( Ft. Dj Bake) shows a darker side of his production while still containing stunning vocals. The vocal chops, kicks and rap samples are all perfectly placed. Other notable tracks include: Le Youth – C O O L (DJ Sliink Remix), Wale – Bad (DjSliink Booty Bounce Remix), and Trey Songz – Na Na (DJ Sliink Remix). In addition to producing great music, Sliink is also a huge supporter of fellow artists; constantly re-posting and sharing Jersey Club tunes from other artists. Just take a scroll through his SoundCloud and see all the artists he has backed.

Dj Hoodboi – The first of our unknown, masked and mysterious producers to make the list. DJ Hoodboi has made a huge name for himself remixing R&B tracks into Jersey Club bangers. With remixes of Sisqo, R. Kelly, Genuwine and August Alsina under his belt, Hooboi has proven his ability to make sexy tracks even sexier. He’s also done some pretty stellar remixes of rap tracks flipping Big Sean’s – ‘Marvin & Chardonnay’ with Trippy Turtle and Future’s – ‘Honest’ with Arnold. His biggest track to date is an official remix of Chromeo’s summer smash ‘Jealous’. Quite possibly the best remix of the track yet and easily one of my favorite tracks for enjoying the warm weather, this is a must listen.

Trippy Turtle– Another mysterious character; Trippy Turtle is said to be an alias for another well known producer. Early speculation was that it was a side project of Cashmere Cat, but recent appearances of the two together have dispelled the rumors and also lead many to believe Trippy Turtle is actually fellow Norweigen Lido. Regardless of his identity the producers abilities are undebatable. His standout collaborations have already been noted above but he has a ton of stellar solo work. His remix of ‘Give It 2 U’ will have you signing Robin Thicke like it’s 2013. Other must listens include his flip of Twista’s – ‘Wetter’ (which does not contain Twista) and Trey Songz – ‘NaNa’. Much like his homie DJ Hoodboi, the Turle was recently recruited to do an offical remix for a big name artist (Ed Sheeran) and he did not disappoint. Check out ‘SING’ below.

Promnite – Promnite is another unknown alias who burst onto the scene with his debut album Love songs for what? which featured Jersey club and chill remixes of popular Rap & R&B. I recently purchased it off BandCamp and it was easily the best $1 I’ve spent in a long time. Stand out tracks like ‘She Get It From Her Mama’ and ‘4:34’ demonstrate why he deserves a spot on this list. His sensual remix of R. Kelly – Legs Shakin and Denzel Curry – THREATZ [Promnite Edition] (though the latter is not Jersey Club) further prove why Promnite is one of the hottest producers out right now.

Vices – What do two white dudes from Orlando, Florida know about making Jersey Club music? A lot, apparently. The duo known as Vices have dropped some of the best Jersey Club tracks of the past year. Most notably their collaboration with Jailo – ‘Loving You (Long Time)’ and solo effort ‘Wanna Luv U’ exemplify the elegant, melodic sound that is being infused into the genre. Their most recent collaboration with K1K0 – ‘C’mon Bae’ sees them flipping a Donna Summers disco record. It’s an infectiously sweet tune that you can’t help but enjoy. In addition, they’ve done killer remixes for Twista & Kanye West, Liz, Migos, SirOJ and many more. All this adds up to Vices being one of the best breakout production duos of the year.

Nadus – Coming straight out of Newark, NJ and a member of The Brick Bandits (alongside Dj Sliink), Nadus just dropped his stellar debut EP Broke City (sidebar: he will be donating all proceeds of the album to the Newark Boys Chorus School). The EP features standout tracks ‘Nxwxrk’ & ‘Sharpe James’. Both tracks contain epic builds, majestic synth work and fuse Future Bass and Jersey club seamlessly. Outside of the EP, Nadus has dropped serious tracks including his trigger happy remix of Kanye West’s – ‘Send it Up’, ethereal rework of Drake’s – ‘Furthest Thing’, and the explicit but banging DJ Funk – Dat Ass (Nadus Remix).
