WE'RE BACK!!!!!!!My apologies, it's been almost 2 years to date since the LAST Baltimore Club Music Town Hall!
We've had two Baltimore Club Music Days (lol) pass since then. Venues close. Songs made. Videos gone viral. Festivals came and went ... and what else???
Let's talk! What's up! What we doing?
Join me for the Baltimore Club Music Town Hall where we network and talk about #TheThings :)
This month, joining us for our glorious return and my special guest/panelist/host/feature is **Al Shipley** - freelance writer and editor for many things you know but most notably here for the late City Paper and similar local content. He'll be joining us to talk about Club, and HIS NEW BOOK WHICH RELEASES THAT WEEK ON AUGUST 19
"Tough Breaks: The Story of Baltimore Club Music" is the definitive history of how a city danced its pain away.
In Tough Breaks: The Story of Baltimore Club Music, music journalist Al Shipley draws from 18 years’ worth of interviews with dozens of DJs, producers, vocalists, party hosts, promoters, and the founders of the clubs, labels and record stores that shaped the genre. With the untold stories behind labels like Unruly Records and clubs like The Paradox, Shipley digs deep into big personalities, obscure samples, profanely catchy chants, and friendship and feuds that drove a competitive scene to keep the 130BPM beats going for decades. Baltimore icons who died tragically young like Miss Tony and DJ K-Swift are remembered through the eyes of friends and collaborators, and producers like DJ Booman, DJ Class, and Diamond K reveal the inspirations behind some of their classic tracks.
Al will have hard copies on hand to purchase.
I hope to see you all!
Your friend in Balt Club,
Ducky Dynamo <3
