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 late 90s/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. Subsequent young producers pushed for the progression of the style in the late 2000s, bringing it to global audiences.^[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 tresillo or shuffled 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]
