info aja dapet copy paste dr wikipedia :P
The Music :
Baltimore club, also called "Bmore Club" or "Club Music" is a genre of house and dance music. A blend of hip hop and chopped, stacatto house music, it was created in Baltimore, Maryland in the early 1990s by pioneers Scottie B., Frank Ski, Big Tony, and DJ Spen.[2]
Baltimore club is based on an 8/4 beat structure, and includes tempos around 130 beats per minute.[3][4] It combines repetitive, looped vocal snippets similar to ghetto house and ghettotech. These samples are often culled from television shows such as Sanford and Son and SpongeBob SquarePants,[4], though can also be simple repeated calls and chants. The instrumental tracks include heavy breakbeats and call and response stanzas similar to those found in the go-go music of Washington, D.C.. More often than not, the breakbeats are pulled from two records: "Sing Sing" by disco band Gaz, and "Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins.[1] Much like the rave-era sub-genre of techno music known as breakbeat hardcore, Baltimore club sounds as if the music was intentionally hurried, as each song is made with a limited palette of sounds and is based on similar frameworks.
Baltimore club was born in nightclubs such as Club Fantasy, the Paradox, and Club Choices.[2] The original musicians of the genre were influenced by Michael Jackson, and it was later combined with elements of Miami bass, [3] but influence from hip-house is the cornerstone of the style. Club Paradox also hosted one of the most popular hip hop-themed club nights on the East Coast, "Fever", and helped to spread the popularity of Baltimore club with a wider audience. The Paradox Friday night club DJs, KW Griff and Rod Braxton, took some inspiration for their sets and production from the British breakbeat hardcore records[3] they heard at Fever and on V103 mix shows. The Blapps! Records (UK) label released several records between 1989 and 1992 that are considered classics in the Baltimore genre, as well as in the British rave scene. "Don't Hold Back", "Too Much Energy" and "Let the Freak" were sampled and played heavily by DJs and producers, and would define the Baltimore club sound.
In the late 1990s, Baltimore club music developed a cult following in the North Jersey club scene, particularly in the Brick City club genre of Newark, New Jersey. This spread stems from the distribution of mix tapes from traveling Baltimore deejays. There were also a number of Boston-area radio shows in the mid-nineties that played Baltimore club music.
Recently the genre has gained popularity in Baltimore's rock underground, due to Baltimore club nights at the Talking Head Club and others. Baltimore club was featured in Spin Magazine in January 2006.
In recent years Baltimore club has moved away from clubs like the Paradox and into the studio with rap artists. This combination of club music and rap has created a new subgenre in hip hop music to rival other regional scenes. The club movement has gained momentum; in January 2007, Bossman produced a Baltimore club remix for Diddy on the Bad Boy Records label (though it was poorly received). DJ Excel has remixed Hangar 18's "Baking Soda" for the independent label Definitive Jux as well. Say-Wut is building a strong following in Europe, and receiving play from other DJs such as Sinden, Diplo, and Spank Rock. The most recent noteworthy crossover of the Baltimore sound would be the hit "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. off of her album 'Kala'. Produced by Diplo, this single was featured in the trailer for Pineapple Express and shot to #4 on Billboard charts shortly after.
The Dance :
Baltimore club dances are usually hip hop dance, but some dancehall influences are also incorporated. Due to the fast pace of some of the songs, the dances are performed at a faster speed. The newest dance and a most popular one is the Crazy Leg. A difficult technique to master, but looks simple. A more popular dance, the Wu-tang is a dance originating out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The dance involves a jerking of the arms in an up-and-down/side-to-side and outward motion as if one was reaching toward or away from someone. Each individual person adds their own spin to the dance, be it fancy footwork or mimicking gunshots. The dance has become very popular around the Tri-State Region and is comparable to the Chicken Noodle Soup dance of Harlem, the Bay Area's hyphy, Atlanta's crunk, Baltimore's rockin' off or "shake off", and Compton's krumping. This dance is not associated with the Wu-Tang Clan or any of its members.
Another more recent dance is called the "SpongeBob". The dance involves landing one's right foot out to the right while the left foot is slightly kicked out and elevated, then bringing the right foot in (by hopping) and kicking the left leg behind the back and repeated by switching. It starts slow and then progresses. This dance is reminiscent of the classic hip hop dance move called gliding (or sliding) as the movement of the feet seem to glide back and forth (if the dancer performs it correctly). The dance is most often associated with the song "Tote It" by Blaqstarr.
The newest Jersey dance performed to Baltimore club music, but mainly done to the official song by DJ LILMAN, is called "Swingin It" or "Swing Dat Shit". The dance originated in the west side of Newark, New Jersey.
These dances can be viewed on YouTube.

mr.scruff sih cha yang inspirasi gw banget, quantic juga, jazzanova juga !!
cuma waktu di glastonbury gw amazed banget sama setnya a-trax
New school hip hop ... Menurut gwe ...
Nice ...
basicly from hiphop ,tp mnurut gw ngga juga siy . . .
menurut gw sih semuanya sah2 aja.. gw coba maen satu set 100% bmore gw sendiri yang mabok... jadi akhirnya gw udah dapet formula yang pas aja antara combinya bmore, fidget, dubstep n electro... jadi orang ga bosen... tapi kalo mau ditelusuri kesamaannya, it's all about that hip hop influence...
right on brader,kalo gw combine b-more,tech house,electro but not to many fidget's kyknya rada teror buat crowd sini ;D
fidgetnya tergantung sih kalo terlalu switch (meskipun di itu hero gw) sih emang pusing, yang lebih ke boy 8-bit or duke dumont gitu ga terlalu ribet lah...
hi
bmore will be one of the hypest beat on 2009 sounds like 2steep old school meeting new wave
Machines don't care

Hahaha, gw baru tau b-more dr mr Hogi + anak2 Agrikulture pas bareng mreka kmrn..
Kalo buat set full b-more mungkin malah jd bosenin x ya, krn beatnya monoton gitu2 terus..
ya makanya kalau main yg variatif...

@wedhus
coba cek www.baltimore-club.com (http://www.baltimore-club.com)
kebetulan 3 track b-more gw d feature d sana :p
Makin jadi aja om echa
kalo ga salah klan principle of south (POS) dari jogja pada mainin b-more dah sejak taon 2003an...
anggotanya ada dj latex, dj dash, dll...sering juga bikin event b-more di jalanan...
yup,anak2 hiphop sini,mas anton n mas hogi juga sering nyelipin b-more d set mereka
meski d negara asalnya us genre ini ga terlalu gede n kentel bgt unsur hiphopnya
tapi justru pas dah blend ma kultur dance luar us bikin genre ini tambah asik
d banding aslinya b-more gw lbh prefer sound2 b-more "modern" kayak afrojack,dj punish,diplo,d-jaz,a trax and any mad decent releases are worth listen to
just my 2 cents
cheers
