The golden years of Baltimore Club, aka Doo Doo were in the mid nineties. It was a regional musical scene whose sound did not make it out of the city limits for the most part. Some say that the first bmore club record was Frank Ski's "Whores in this House".
What you hear nowadays is leftover 12"s from the end of the scene a few years back. Most of the label's stopped pressing 12"s a few years back and it became difficult to buy after Music Liberated (the primary store that sold this stuff) closed when it's owner, Bernie, died in a traffic accident. DJ Technics store closed as well. A lot of the artists still put out CD's (Rod Lee, Technics, KW Grif). Also, DJ Technics has a few new 12"s available which just do a poor job recycling older tracks whose original producers had far more originality. For what it's worth, the stuff from the mid-nineties was amazing. One golden release after another. Turntable Lab still sells deadstock every so often, but most often it's pathetic relative to the older releases. The stuff to lookout for are any records from the 90's from these labels: Nuclheaz, Unruly Records, Hardhead Records and In Your Ear.
