\nlet’s talk baltimore<\/strong>. rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, here’s what wikipedia<\/span> says about ‘baltimore club’:
\n“Baltimore Club, also called Baltimore Breaks, Baltimore house, and Dew Doo Beat, is a genre of House and Dance music. A blend of Hip-Hop and Electronica, it was created in Baltimore, Maryland in the early 1990s by Scottie B<\/span>., Frankski<\/span>, Miss Tony<\/span> and DJ Spen<\/span> and has since been performed by artists such as Rod Lee<\/span> and D.J.Technics<\/span>.
\n“Baltimore Club is exemplified by its 8\/4 beat structure and tempos at or near 130 beats per minute. It combines repetetive looped vocal snippets similar to ghetto house with humorous vocal samples … Much like the rave-era sub-genre of Techno music known as Breakbeat Hardcore, Baltimore Club sounds as if the music was purposefully produced in a hurried manner as the each song is made with a limited pallette of sounds and is based on a similar templates. Some say Baltimore Breaks grew out of Miami Bass, largely due to Frankski<\/span> working with Luke Skyywalker Records in the early 1990s, remixing songs such as Disco Rick<\/span>‘s Wiggle Wiggle in 1992. … Despite its roots nearer to Miami Bass, the sound of the music itself more closely resembles Ghetto House.
\n“Baltimore Club has long been popular in Baltimore, largely in African-American venues where DJs spin exclusively Baltimore Club, but has recently spread beyond the city’s borders to Philadelphia and New York City and inspired offshoots in New Jersey (D.J.Tamiel<\/span>) and Alabama (Bamabounce<\/span>). This expansion is due largely to the success and influence of the DJ duo Hollertronix<\/span>, who present Baltimore Club in conjunction with hip-hop, rock, and other dance music.”
\nso there you go – if you disagree with any of the above, i recommend editing the article<\/a> (such is the joy of wikipedia). as it says, things have started to move recently in the baltimore club scene. there is, as one of the main protagonists spankrock<\/strong> describes it, “a second generation” of baltimore club producers coming through. with many of his recent mixes, diplo<\/strong> is proving to be a key figure, alongside those working under the collective title of baltimore bass connection <\/strong>– the aforementioned spankrock<\/strong>, chipset<\/strong>, c.rockswell<\/strong>, xxx-change<\/strong> and more. i could add low-budget<\/strong> and dj ayres<\/strong> in there too, both of whom have recently dropped b-more productions. i’ve also been getting into 19-y-o curtis vodka<\/strong>‘s mixes as found on the hollertronix forum (one of the main homes for discussion \/ file sharing of b-more, baile funk and other such great music).
\nafter releasing his ‘viola’ mix cd and his ‘put the pussy on me’ 12″ double set on money studies, spankrock<\/strong> was recently signed to big dada. his debut release backyard betty’ is an incredible calling card for this scene – dark, deep, sparse, smart and more bass than your ass can handle. another great tune that i’ve been dropping this season is diplo<\/strong>‘s remix of ray charles<\/strong>‘ ‘i got a woman’ – destined to be a party favourite for a long time to come. and – lucky you – it also kicks off our mp3 treats for this week:
\nRAY CHARLES i got a woman (diplo remix)<\/a>
\n3RD BASS shut your mouth (diplo remix) <\/a>
\nSPANK ROCK put that pussy on me <\/a>
\nSPANKROCK rick rubin (snippet) <\/a>
\nSPANKROCK what i look like (snippet) <\/a>
\nLOW-BUDGET call it murder (rmx of damian marley’s ‘welcome to jamrock’)<\/a>
\nDJ AYRES broke ass home (baltimore club)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
