rolling Baltimore club music thread

slower than I'd like to admit, but that's really my fault. adapted more of a "however long it takes as long as it's done right" attitude than my whirlwind "let's do it!" optimism early on. but i had a great interview with Say Wut recently and i'm gonna do my 2nd interview with DJ Equalizer soon.

just found out about this collection, looks awesome

TT the Artist. Who else is happening in Baltimore club music these days?

The new Abdu Ali album Fiyah!!! i incorporates Baltimore club music and more. Sarah M Hughes does free jazz solos on it. I like it

The work of the musician Abdu Ali, for example, combines the influences of punk, rap and Baltimore club (the city’s explosive, ecstatic brand of hip-hop inflected house music) to create something bracingly new. A gender nonconforming artist, Ali spoke about the need to recognize the contributions of women and queer artists to the city’s musical history — particularly the pioneers of Baltimore club, such as Miss Tony, who recorded tracks and spun records in drag through most of the ’90s, and K-Swift, one of the city’s most popular young D.J.s at the time of her death in 2008 — while also expanding the scope of what’s possible in the city. In 2013, Ali co-founded a concert and party series called Kahlon, which had the explicit goal of putting alternative and experimental black, L.G.B.T.Q. and women-identified artists on the same stage. As a Baltimore native, Ali noticed that too many of the shows they were going to, often dominated by straight, white artists, “didn’t reflect what the city really is, and what brings the charm to the city."
