DJ Jimmy Jones - 1-2-3 mp3 album

The J, the I, the M, the M, the Y - this record pitches up the KRS-One sample at the intro. The booming breaks and funky rhythms that follow it are representative of the glory years of the Baltimore sound - mid-nineties bmore was more original, raw and brimming over with marching-band energy. Producers had not yet resorted to the gimmicks that have plagued "modern bmore" as I call it. Every record came with acappellas and breaks - you could DJ a set by mixing and matching the records and mix quickly in and out of the massive breaks and samples. Forget the main track, you would just roll your own with the tools provided!Back in 1995, I played this to a large gaggle of rave nerds in a hot New Hampshire warehouse as part of a larger baltimore breaks set (that's what we called it in Boston - bless and RIP Tim Haslett for making this available up there). When the break kicked in, they lost their minds.Make no mistake, this record is part of the bmore religious cannon and will stand the test of time. Forget the Mr. Postman samples, this is the real deal!
