What’s going on winnie cooper?? Special thanks to the boys for having me on board.
I will start with some words. Scott was picking my brain for justification on why bmore still needs to be talked about, and i promised him i would post what i told him, so here goes:
Baltimore Club is a totally new genre of music with new rules and new ideas, but no matter what, it is closer to house then hip-hop. Baltimore City was unique in its urban musical development in that they embraced house instead of rejecting it. While most cities, by the time the 90’s arrived, lost house to hip-hop’s homophobia, in Baltimore they had a drag queen MCing at one of the biggest clubs. Bmore loves house. Go to DJ Technics’ site and see how many mixes he has dedicated to house (can’t find that section right now but it’s there somewhere).
So, yeah, bmore club = new black house, and to me it’s an exciting departure from Whitey’s stronghold on the genre for the past decade or so.
Here’s a fresh summer house jam from Baltimore:

I love the contextualization of music. and I have to agree with you, of course.
Welcome to winniecooper!
House is still alive and well in Baltimore. The club music however is getting ripped off like crazy at this point though and personally I think its fucked up. Its become an easy label to put on anything with “sing sing” or “think” brakes and nobody from outside the city ever does justice to the music in comparison to whats made here.
By the way “Summertime” is produced by Jump Chico Slamm who also made the song “Funk Dat” back in 1993 along with many other classics.
Thanks for posting some real Baltimore music.
