Baltimore’s MC Top dropped by the studio last weekend to cut a few songs for his latest mix tape. He came in for the night and cut 4 songs. We were impressed with his output and thought we’d share a few samples here with you.
Thanks to all of you who came out to the open house. We had a fantastic turn-out and enjoyed meeting many of you face-to-face. We hope to continue to host events where musicians can schmooze and brain-pick and hatch their next opus. If this is something you’d be down for, shoot us an email or sign up for our newsletter “Plugged In” at the top of this page.
From Noble Lake to Private Eleanor and Small Sur, it feels like Baltimore is in the middle of some kind of soft rock renaissance, with a number of the local indie scene’s best bands playing and singing in hushed tones, as if gathered around a campfire. And at the forefront of that quiet army is Beach House, whose 2006 self-titled debut garnered so much national acclaim that the band actually scraped the Billboard album charts at #195 with their latest, Devotion, earlier this year.
Producer, musician and analog fundamentalist Steve Albini (Big Black, Rapeman, Shellac) and Kim Deal (The Pixies, The Breeders) have been busy constructing an all-analog concept of recording music: The All-Wave Recording Movement.
