Here's a little something...


Well now you've one more thing to look forward to. That is of course if you enjoy all night dancing, great music and women who ignore you...well two out of three ain't bad.

Escort is a group best known these days for their icy cold disco single, "Starlight." But lets not overlook DJ Ayers, one half of T&A (Tittsworth & Ayers). Both churn out Baltimore club remixes of some classic tunes like Earth Wind and Fire's "September" or Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke." Let me explain what's called "Baltimore Club Style." I bet most of you already know what it is, but for those people who aren't afraid to give you masturbation material by admitting their somewhat lack of musical knowledge, here goes:

Wikipedia:
More often than not, the breakbeats are pulled from two records: "Sing Sing" by Gaz, and "Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins. Much like the rave-era sub-genre of techno music known as breakbeat hardcore, Baltimore club sounds as if the music was purposely produced in a hurried manner, as each song is made with a limited palette of sounds and is based on similar frameworks.

So what you have is one of two simple, uptempo, repetitive breakbeats. The soul music is there to convince you, but the beat is there to fuck you. Imagine dancing with your luscious girlfriend to a Sly and the Family record in your small dark overheated apartment set to the beat and rhythm of the headboard banging against the wall in the next room...(sex).
