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!

A lot happened this month in Gourmetbeats news…

Gourmetbeats.com turned SIX! It came so quick that we barely knew it was here. Joe Nice as always killing it on Gourmetbeats Radio.

Joe Nice tied the Knot! Sorry ladies, but dubstep’s most eligible bachelor is now off limits. Text received from Joe on the day of: “It’s a nice day for a White Wedding.”

Dubwar! Not one to let his recent nuptuals disrupt the beat, Joe traveled to NYC for the most recent installment of the legendary DUBWAR party, featuring luminaries Pinch and Maryanne Hobbs.
