@raiders_records has presented something really special here.  While we absolutely love this track by @jpeglove, we must emphasize that this entire 2-volume release is a top notch pivotal endeavor highlighting a nascent shift toward club culture being ruled more firmly under the female sphere.  

'Queens of Club' pays tribute to 'Queens of Baltimore', an early Bmore Club 12” from 2001 featuring recorded vocals by: Mz. Thang, Kotton the Cutie and Lady Shaunda.  (Side note:  Posse Up tried to contact these artists recently, if anyone knows how to reach them please let us know!).  

While 'Queens of Baltimore' put the women at the forefront, it was still distributed and produced by men.  Raider’s' 'Queens of Club' pays tribute to this early achievement while simultaneously 1UP’ing it as a project that is completely produced and managed by women.  The stereotype that producing is a man’s domain can be put to feckin rest as is a testament of the quality of this endeavor.      

While this follows the tradition of pioneering female producers – least we forget about Kemistry and Storm who co-founded Metalheadz, not to mention DJ Rap – it also serves as a reminder – since the very fact that such a project remains a rarity in 2020 mans that there is still werk 2 do.  

Posse Up salutes and welcomes female producers, label owners, deejays, and emcees.  We feel strongly that music is multi-dimensional, and that added depth is desperately needed, whether that's grounded in gender, sex, ethnicity, culture, social status or entire MF’ing species (yo shouts out to the extraterrestrial transgendered).  The more depth the better, especially in club genres that exhibit raw sexuality, such as: bmore / jersey club, miami bass, ghetto tech, ghetto house, vogue, etc., or music inspired by these genres.

Disclaimer:  Most of us are producers twisting out our own interpretations of 90s dance music.  The artists on this label are, for the most part, not the originators; we hope that you support the originators more than us because we wouldn't be here without them.

Demos:  send via private soundcloud, refer to VA's for our style. If I don't respond it's likely because you are submitting a different style than we release e.g., love techno but don't release it. Or, it's just not what would go well with the other submissions at the moment. This label receives a lot of demos and is run by one person so it is hard to respond to everyone. 

Premieres:  We're actually not a premiere destination. We work with a lot of artists, and the premieres you see here are just a helping hand for those that we work with on a regular basis.
