This is great.

i was listening to 92q the night chop started goofing w/ griff on the air and they came up with this -- it was a super heavy rain that night, like a torrential downpour, and i was like fuck this is the greatest thing i've ever heard, he seemed to go on for like 15 minutes straight

wait a second ... there was a club constructions 2?

It was Lil Silva, I guess? I haven't heard it. The first one didn't appeal to me much cause L-Vis 19zzzzzzzzz

the first one is cool as tools for jacking house, sounds good with like dj international or trax acid tracks

i just grabbed the lil silva one, it sounds ok but didn't grab me

but this track is ... just huge!

this is amazing

when he brought in the katz i was totally blindsided

speaking of l-vis 19zzzzzzz

I was expecting him to bring many things, but not the katz.

what the hell is this

Yeah, that's one of the brilliant thing about this track, nobody fucking expects the katz. xp

when they did it live on the radio lots of other animals were eventually brought in, did any of those versions make it out there?

I don't think so

that's a shame. one of these days i need to bug chop about if there are recordings of those.k

YES! OH! OH! OH! YES! YES! OH! OH! OH! YES!

gimme some of that womm

the katz fake out too!!

i feel like i need an explanation of this like one of those pedantic over-detailed explanations of an image macro you get on tumblr

the katz fake out too!!

Can this be a place to talk about new Baltimore/Jersey stuff in general?

oh yeah i made that video in high school too

i would argue that track does not "bring in" enough katz to be on this thread, oet along the general bmore thread

it is appealing but i had to turn it off during the trance breakdown

also compared to griff it sounds like there's no sub bass

i had to check that it was still on

it has no WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP Y'ALL FEEL THAT

maybe bmore is leaving you behind, have you thought about that

murder mark has a lot of good tracks that aren't really club music and that's one of them

bmore noooooooo ;_;

i hope we are spoiled w a wave of new bmore tracks and maybe footwork dudes will look at 130 bpm tracks

I've been all about Jersey shit in the past year or so, I hadn't really been paying attention to Bmore. Although when I started a thread about a great Jersey club vocal track, it didn't really take off. DJ Joker f/ Sabrina, "My Body" (Track of the year?)

me too, didn't see that thread! Amazing tune. I started one on Swizzymack (Philly party music cacophanist) but noone was interested :(

I guess the only names to get much attention outside Jersey have been Sliink and K Millz, but there is an astonishing amount of crazy stuff getting released daily on soundcloud from what seems like hundreds of producers. I'm so into it I went and did these did these http://soundcloud.com/benny-brassic

The party I was at a couple weekends back had this amazing dj (from Portland, improbably enough) who was playing mostly his own Jersey club remixes of everything. I have rarely sweated it out so hard.

really digging those mixes Benny B, thankin u xp

just found this tweet from about a week after the original 'bring in the katz' broadcast (on april 8th 2010)

this is eligible for the top 77 on account of no one outside Baltimore heard it til this year, right?

ha sure no complaints from me -- better the orig than any of the remixes imo

I hope someone at Decibel Fest brings in the katz. No one did last night, at least not in my presence.

Let the official record show that just before midnight on September 30, 2012 at the Baltic Room in Seattle, WA, Salva brought in the katz.

are people mainly playing the o.g. or one of these remixes?

I've only heard the original out.

ok so i am just going to ask this: what does it mean to bring in the katz

you should ask big l or k swift, they already know

I like this ballroom remix, although obv it isn't the bomb the original is: http://soundcloud.com/schwarz420/feel-yr-body-katz-ha

oh wow

that track is intense, even for schwarz

HOLD UP GRIFF

YOU GOTTA VISION IT

the late great (unintentionally?) bumming me out over here

i have no idea if this is right but as i said the night they first did the song on the radio it was raining buckets outside, so i always heard it as in "it's raining, better bring the pets inside for the night"

i was just making a joke about the bridge part where he keeps saying "they already know", no bum out intended

i thought it was because animals were attracted to sub bass

I like thinking about how the whole time he's waiting, asking Griff if he's ready, that whole time, he already knows what he is going to say.

my assumption has been that those staccato bursts are the "katz"

oh right, i forgot they got shouted out on that part of the song. chop shouts swift out on everything, but she died 2 years before this song was made.

thanks to this song, everytime our cat Puck walks into the bathroom or bedroom in the morning, my bf and/or myself shouts out "BRING IN THE KATZ" "OHHH" "YES"

oh man, i forgot they had passed away :-(

well the "big l" he's shouting out on there is supa dj big l the living baltimore dj, not big l the dead brooklyn rapper

thanks to this song, everytime our cat Puck walks into the bathroom or bedroom in the morning, my bf and/or myself shouts out "BRING IN THE KATZ" "OHHH" "YES"

I have started doing this as well (& I live alone)

oh i was kinda wondering about how that big l was connected

he's not, apparently

"The concept of 'Bring in the Katz' was an idea that Porkchop originated. Pork came to me a little over a year ago with the idea of making a club track about 'Bring In The Katz.' I had no idea what he was talking about, but I wanted to hear him out on the idea that he had. He told me that he wanted to make something that was simple, but at the same time catchy with a banging club beat. He let me know about all of the elements he wanted included in the track, along with the flow of the sequences. He wanted me to be the guy to formulate his idea and create a track called 'Bring In The Katz.' I thought about it and said, 'This is going to be interesing.'

He went into the radio station studio and recorded all of his vocals in one take. He handed me the CD and said, 'Here are the vocals for the track. You can go through the CD and grab all of the vocals that you think you can use. Work your magic! I know you will put your KW spin on it!' Once I received the CD from him, I went to the studio and sat down to begin putting everything together, gathering all of the elements that he wanted in the track, along with his vocals. The rest was up to me. It took me about two weeks to produce the track. Once it was completed, I played it on the radio on a Friday night during my club set. The rest, as they say, is history. For this track to be just a simple, fun, catchy type of track with vocal references to Baltimore DJs, Baltimore clubs, etc., we had no idea that this track would spread all across the coast the way that it has. We thank everyone for enjoying and partying to it!" - KW Griff

lol that griff misremembers the song as being half as old as it actually is though

fyi Pork Chop did a version of "Diced Pineapples" where the entire song is just about eating diced pineapples with ham. he does the Wale poetry slam intro in a Maya Angelou voice.

lol at the end of this dj angelbaby mixtape he's all like "them katz is still here! get them katz outta here! BRING IN THE DOGZ!"

has no one made a hiphouse cut up joint of out popped a molly i'm sweating WOO yet

james takes two to make a thing go right iirc

theres always about 50 NJ Club versions of any rap hit you care to mention. Here's one from the Brick Bandits.

ha, i just realized i posted one of your mixes in another thread completely unaware it was by an ilxor

oh right, cheers! Hope you liked it.

Haven't listened to any of this stuff for ages, need to do a catch up I think

this is amazing btw

^^^ truth

i wish threads for new hyped tracks like this one didn't always have capslock thread titles because i see them on SNA and assume they're from ITR or something and ignore them

What else should I put on a mix tape that centers around this song?

who let the dogs out

I was thinking "It Takes Two" but is that too obvious?

here's a v good mix w/ "katz" right in the middle
