Basslines? We Don't Need No Stinking Basslines!

It sounds like acid house to me, dude ;)

yeah acid house without the acid and without the house...

i like the b-more track that samples the "muppet show" theme. there's another good one built on motorola pager noises.

I became a House DJ because that's where the basslines were. Why anyone would want FEWER basslines is completely beyond me.

As to the easier splicing, that's why God gave DJs EQ.

Matt, that's the same impression I had when I heard it described. But its music, it needs to be heard, really it works, it makes sense, its good. Think ghetto tech meets "hardcore" in the 1991 british breakbeat sense and you're halfway there.

The tracks I heard through that web site sound like a cross betwen Two-step Garage and Ghetto House. I don't hear much similarity to early 90s Brit hardcore, which is a shame, because I really think of that stuff as rave music's Golden Age.

I don't think this stuff will last. But I do hope that some of the relentless loopedness of it makes its way back into house.

I'm from B-More,

off top B-more house has been here for years, so fuck ya'll who say it's dying

It's just like other local music. A lotta people fail to realize, Jazz was once a local music, and Hip hop was a local music, Go-Go is a Local music, Crunk music WAS a local music, you as long as you have a culture that it caters to, it will always live. If it dosen't blow up on a national level, so what, but unless Bin Ladin flies a plane into Ravens stadium, Our shit will always be hear. Stop commenting is it gonna last or not. You like it you like it, you don't you don't

I've lived in Baltimore since '95 and as long as I can remember this stuff has always been on the radio in pretty much the same form. I don't think it's ever going to be the next big anything. It's just too...stupid, for that. I mean it's just a breakbeat loop and a sample repeated 100000 times.

Funny that you bring up psy trance too. That may have been the case in '96 but these days it's full of basslines and much worse for it. They are strangling the music.

this is rediculous, i think you should check out the basement boys who hail from baltimore.

Hello nice people.
Do you know a shop or a website where I could buy some Baltimore Ghetto House on line. Please help. Kazey

Hello nice people.

You guys are all morons. B-more blows...what a ghetto POS city...



Think of B-more club music as the Miami Bass of that area. It is an amalgamation of overmodulated breakbeats using a call and response format to get the listener involved. It probably wasn't meant to blow up nationally, but wherever I go, I expose people to it and they love it. Those of you who hate, continue to hate. That is your perogative. And to the one called Hater; what music has your city created? Get at me--Touch
