Interview: Baltimore Club (w/ Scottie B, Shawn Ceasar)
On March 9 Baltimore goes French with Justice at Sonar. But to make up for the slight Gallic lapse Baltimore club icon Scottie B will step up behind the decks after the Justice set to rep the home team. Aural States recently sat down to talk to Scottie B and Shawn Caesar, legendary DJs, owners of Unruly Records and pivotal figures in forming the genre known as Baltimore club.
If you need a Baltimore club primer check out Andrew Devereaux’s essay “What Chew Know About Down the Hill?”: Baltimore Club Music, Subgenre Crossover, and the New Subculture Capital of Race and Space at the Journal of Popular Music Studies. I originally learned of the article through Al Shipley’s Government Names website.
Or you can opt for the less academic approach and listen to the Scottie B tracks after the jump.
Be on the lookout for the new Scottie B mix album From Bmore With Love soon.
