Baltimore Club

TGRIOnline.com made together with DJ Pierre a mix with some amazing club classics and tracks from new talent!

DJ Pierre is a rising star. Still under 21, he was already voted the 2009 Best DJ in a Club by the Baltimore City Paper. He’s risen quickly to prominence and spins weekly throughout Baltimore and has amassed quite the sizeable following in the past year. His developing production style and his skills as a DJ will be clear and obvious by the end of the mix.

From current scene godfathers like Emynd to legends like KW Griff, Scottie B and Rod Lee, to those influenced by the sound like DC’s Nouveau Riche crew, Philadelphia’s Federation Sound collective and NYC’s Cousin Cole, alongside criminally underrated local talents like James Nasty, and the youth of someone like Murder Mark, this mix indeed achieves the impossible and is everything to everyone.

Yesterday, Al Shipley of the Baltimore City Paper, a journalist whom I respect and look at as a definite and most appreciated peer in the industry of discussing club music, released his list of the top 10 Baltimore club tracks of 2009. Upon reading, I definitely felt compelled to drop my own version of a “Top Bmore Club” list as well, for the sake of adding more fuel for discussion about what was a year that saw the pool for the far reaching effects of club music deepen and widen significantly with the mainstream success of DJ Class, as well as nods to work by Bmore Original Records by the mainstream as well. Club music is at a definite crossroads, which you will tell by the content of this list.

Honorable mention:

James Nasty “Dance Motherfucker,” – Owes a lot to Griff’s “Chris Rock Joint” for its success, but the Katt Williams sample NEVER gets old. Track breaks down on the chorus in a magical manner.

DJ Class feat. Fatman Scoop “Dance Like a Freak,” – Before adding Scoop, was okay. With Scoop, outlandishly street and much harder edged.

DJ Pierre “Let Me Get That” – So minimal, so tight, and Pierre’s so young. I strongly feel that the entirety of Baltimore should get together and give this young DJ one hint each to being better han he already is. Protecting and developing the future is ALWAYS important. There’s an entire crew of solid young DJs in the Bmore club scene who deserve it, not just Pierre, but with him having the spotlight most often, he’s a solid place to start.
