I just had an interview in Baltimore over the weekend. The place is a shithole and it sucks. Even if it had the best deep house in the world, it isn't worth living there. Recently, they are trying to declare their own version of "Martial Law Lite":

108 homicides in 4 months for a city of around 600,000. I stopped downtown during rush hour for a bite to eat and all I saw was scariness. And what is up with everyone limping?
Once I left, traffic on the beltway and on I-70W was ridiculous. Stop and go for over an hour. There are many people who work along the beltway (not even in the city- most companies have left downtown Baltimore) and still live 60 or more miles away from where they work, hence the bad traffic all along I-70W.
I'm curious though, where is the ill deep house coming from in Baltimore? I used to go to a place called Sonar Lounge, which I still think has some stuff going on. Buzzlife used to run Redwood Trust, but they pulled out when one of their main promoters was murdered, unsolved till this day. DC has mainly a lounge scene from what I hear these days, as Nation has closed its doors. My inkling is that most of the deep house is coming from the DC rather than Baltimore area, at venues such as Five and Fur.
As for the event they are having in August, its true Baltimore is mainly a hip hop city, but it will draw enough people from Philly down to Richmond, VA to support having the few big name djs. As you may know, Philly and NoVa don't really have any clubs or attract any Djs other than the occasional drumnbass or breaks night, so this event will probably be well attended by the masses.
