Hangin on
I went to a night called Aint It Black the other week at the surprisingly good but terribly named Favela Chic, and saw a DJ team called Yo Mamma! play a Baltimore style set. It was fun.
Forgive my ignorance but I know nothing about Baltimore anymore – I can’t keep abreast of everything! It all sounds the same to me – either a modern hip hop hit or a dance classic cut up percussively in Ableton with a Sing sing or Think break underneath. I try not to analyse things too much because it stops me enjoying myself and makes me old and cynical sounding.
This is my favourite ever Baltimore style track that wasn’t made in Baltimore.
BTW New material from Venom and Damage is coming soon.
Weren’t you going to do a Baltimore remix of Baltimora?
Oh yeah! I forgot about that – will try and do it tonight. Might be impossible because it’s an awkward tempo.
PS When you gonna reply to my email/s? Daniel Lee is very sadfaced.
Actually, all the clueless kids who make baltimore don’t give a damn about tempo and just timestretch things to nastiness in Abelton, no matter how horrible it sounds, to make it work at 130bpm.
new material!!!! hell yeaaaah!
