It was Lil Silva, I guess? I haven't heard it. The first one didn't appeal to me much cause L-Vis 19zzzzzzzzz

the first one is cool as tools for jacking house, sounds good with like dj international or trax acid tracks
i just grabbed the lil silva one, it sounds ok but didn't grab me

I've been all about Jersey shit in the past year or so, I hadn't really been paying attention to Bmore. Although when I started a thread about a great Jersey club vocal track, it didn't really take off. DJ Joker f/ Sabrina, "My Body" (Track of the year?)
― The Reverend, Monday, 24 September 2012 22:21 (7 months ago) Permalink
me too, didn't see that thread! Amazing tune. I started one on Swizzymack (Philly party music cacophanist) but noone was interested :(
I guess the only names to get much attention outside Jersey have been Sliink and K Millz, but there is an astonishing amount of crazy stuff getting released daily on soundcloud from what seems like hundreds of producers. I'm so into it I went and did these did these http://soundcloud.com/benny-brassic

The party I was at a couple weekends back had this amazing dj (from Portland, improbably enough) who was playing mostly his own Jersey club remixes of everything. I have rarely sweated it out so hard.

Let the official record show that just before midnight on September 30, 2012 at the Baltic Room in Seattle, WA, Salva brought in the katz.

the late great (unintentionally?) bumming me out over here
i have no idea if this is right but as i said the night they first did the song on the radio it was raining buckets outside, so i always heard it as in "it's raining, better bring the pets inside for the night"

he's not, apparently
"The concept of 'Bring in the Katz' was an idea that Porkchop originated. Pork came to me a little over a year ago with the idea of making a club track about 'Bring In The Katz.' I had no idea what he was talking about, but I wanted to hear him out on the idea that he had. He told me that he wanted to make something that was simple, but at the same time catchy with a banging club beat. He let me know about all of the elements he wanted included in the track, along with the flow of the sequences. He wanted me to be the guy to formulate his idea and create a track called 'Bring In The Katz.' I thought about it and said, 'This is going to be interesing.'
He went into the radio station studio and recorded all of his vocals in one take. He handed me the CD and said, 'Here are the vocals for the track. You can go through the CD and grab all of the vocals that you think you can use. Work your magic! I know you will put your KW spin on it!' Once I received the CD from him, I went to the studio and sat down to begin putting everything together, gathering all of the elements that he wanted in the track, along with his vocals. The rest was up to me. It took me about two weeks to produce the track. Once it was completed, I played it on the radio on a Friday night during my club set. The rest, as they say, is history. For this track to be just a simple, fun, catchy type of track with vocal references to Baltimore DJs, Baltimore clubs, etc., we had no idea that this track would spread all across the coast the way that it has. We thank everyone for enjoying and partying to it!" - KW Griff
