Bread #1: Party Preview
Do you like club music? Wait a second, that probably doesn't mean what you think it means — "
club" in this context refers to a very specific sound, born in the early '90s in Baltimore and New Jersey. Known as Baltimore club or simply "Bmore," this sound (fast, halfway between house and hip-hop, built from sampled breakbeats, and often featuring call-and-response style vocal samples) was for decades a regional sound, limited to the mid-Atlantic. Enter
Rushmore: Based in London, he (alongside Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990 from Night Slugs) discovered the Bmore club sound in the late '00s and began adapting it for London and beyond, mixing it with British dubstep and bass music, placing it in an entirely new context.
Bread, a new party, focuses on this new recontextualized international sound, and is bringing Rushmore — alongside some like-minded DJs and producers — out to our fair city for the first time:
San Francisco by way of London by way of Baltimore. Get it!
