ROLECAST 009: Tittsworth – KRUNK001 Side A (Classic Club Mix) by Role ModelsPodcast

Before Tittsworth was touring the world, headlining huge parties, playing international music festivals, or running one of the best dance clubs in the nation, he was a fixture of the Washington, DC and Baltimore rave and club scenes. One of the top local drum ‘n’ bass DJs, he played nearly every local venue, including small bars, warehouses, and internationally acclaimed weeklies like Buzz at Nation. Influenced by club and hip-hop, he eventually branched out, hosting his KRUNK dance party at the now-closed Singapore Bistro in DC and making Baltimore Club tracks. Titts was instrumental in Baltimore Club’s resurgence, first releasing vinyls on his own featuring, and eventually teaming up with DJ Ayres to form T&A Records, still going strong in 2012. Today he co-owns U Street Music Hall and continues to tour the world as a DJ while releasing a steady stream of dance-floor slaying dance tracks.

Titts has given us permission to re-release his 2004 mix-tape, KRUNK001, which he used to school unknowing DC and Baltimore clubbers in Baltimore Club, House, Miami Bass, Ghettotech, and Classic Hip-Hop. Pre-Serato, Side A provides a trip through his crates of club, house, and other “booty music.” The mix feature classic tracks ranging from well known bootybass pioneers like 2 Live Crew and DJ Assault to the house legend Cajmere to Baltimore Club classics by scene legends like DJ Technics and the Doo Dew Kidz. Enjoy this slice of DC/Bmore scene history and keep your eyes out for Side B, Titts’s take on classic hip-hop.
