It's that time of year again and we are thrilled to be back with our third year of Baltimore pride and the sweaty, summer dance mayhem that is MY CREW BE UNRULY. We've recruited the best of the best club producers and selectors from the Northeast for three rooms and seven hours of music at the legendary Paradox warehouse club in Baltimore City. Those who know, know that being here makes you feel like you're a part of history in the making - where club kids battle next to house divas and your flanneled Natty Boh-toting neighbors. In summary:

- 18+ for entry at all three rooms of the Dox, including the outdoor yard.
- FREE BEER and BYOB for those that are 21+.
- FREE BREAKFAST at 5am
- First 50 to buy tickets get free goodie bags / mixtapes / tshirts

The City Paper's annual Big Music Issue is out this week, and it features No Static At All, my story about the rise of streaming internet radio in the Baltimore hip hop and club scenes, alongside lots more interesting articles (including an oral history of Baltimore clubs like Paradox and Choices by Michael Byrne, a piece on the Latin music scene by Robbie Whelan, and an article by Raven Baker that parallels the DIY scenes of Baltimore and D.C.).

I spoke to DJ Excel, Amotion, DJ Diamond K, Dirty Nation Entertainment and Shaka Pitts for my article, and listed a few website addresses for Baltimore-based internet radio stations in it. But there are a lot of other people with shows and stations right now, and I wanted to compile a list in this post of all the ones I know of, just as an easy guide for anyone who reads it and wants to check out any of this stuff, and hear underground Baltimore music on their computer any time of any day of the week:

Baltimore Klub Krank Radio @ DirtyNationEntertainment.com
Bmore Original Radio
Buck Jones Presents Baltimore Talent
Deep Flow Radio
The Diamond K Show
DJ Chris J Live Baltimore Club Mix Show
DMV's Blogtalk w/ G Major
Real Talk w/ Spitts McMan
Revolt Radio @ Wordsmithmusic.com
Unruly Radio
X-Rated w/ 1st Family

Honorable mention to DJ Technics, who had a radio stream on Baltimoreclubtracks.com for a number of years that doesn't appear to exist anymore.
