We get INTO IT! Our discussion of the film Dark City: Beneath the Beat gets into the history of Baltimore Club, the differences between Baltimore, Philly, and Jersey club styles, the problems with grant funding in the arts, and the importance of having multiple sources, especially when it comes to dance teachers. Our attitudes collectively shifted as we really get into the nitty gritty of the movie. We're excited about how TT the Artist, who produced the film, is experimenting with the film medium, as a choreographer and musician, as well as a film maker.

WE GOT A THEME SONG. Big thanks to beloved Philly DJ Lil' Dave for hooking us up. Check out his soundcloud or his awesome music history podcast Excellent Reception.
