Gourmet Beats

Music in Baltimore is full of life. From the booty shaking Club parties, to the hands-in-the-air Soulful House scene, it’s a place where people lay it all out on the table. I recently moved back to the Mid-Atlantic region, and Baltimore was the first place I visited. I was invited out to play on Thanksgiving by the guys over at Moog and although I had been away for over three years, immersed in other places and other sounds, that Baltimore life came flooding back. I set out to make a simple deep house set, and ended up with something full of soul. Perhaps it was memories of long nights dancing to Ultra Nate at Sugar, or DJ Spen at Paradox, but that Baltimore feeling crept over me and this was the result. Enjoy!

An Omnipresent force in the Baltimore music scene, DJ Knowledge has been bringing his unique blend of turntablist roots and deep, soulful house to the area for over a decade.  As a member of the now-defunkt Sonic Soul Collective, knowledge played alongside some of the genre’s most prolific names, and his powerful charisma and charm is nearly impossible to ignore.  A dear friend to Gourmetbeats, we were delighted when he slipped us this mix.  Recorded live at Mosaic in Baltimore, it’s one of those mixes where you can almost hear him reading the crowd.

“The deeper I go, the more knowledge I know…”
