Jay Steinhour of the Basement Boys. Clearly more comfortable behind the scenes, but I guess dj'ing is just like riding a bike.

Ultra Nate performing some of the tracks that helped put us on the map.

I think I'll start working out again

Teddy Douglass hitting the decks last.

Thommy was clearly prepared for this night. A brilliant set.

If you missed this party you missed vinyl, cd's, & tshirt give-a-ways.

"Rejoicing", "It's Over Now", etc.

Thommy Davis...one of 3 original members of Baltimore's Basement Boys. DJ Neosoul(L)

Thommy was clearly prepared for this night. A brilliant set.

This was a very exciting party.  The guys clearly prepared for this night.  On a holiday where Balto & DC had tons of House parties to go to, my loyalties rest in my hometown on this night.  I would have surely missed something special. I wanted to write something exciting but it seems like the more I give someone there just due the more they get hated on. So here is a quote from someone at the party that's from the New York/New Jersey area.  "For what it's worth, that party was as close to the paradise garage experience as I've ever had.  Just my two cents for anyone who never went there.  You might as well say you have now!."
 

This party was in promotion of a new 2 disk cd set of tracks from their 15yr history.  Very nice, so pick it up if you can.  Club Trax or Midtown Records(downtown Baltimore) will surely have it when it is officially released.

Founding members of the Basement Boys were Teddy Douglas, Jay Steinhour, and Thommy Davis.  DJ Spen and then DJ Karizma would later join the Basement Boys.  The writer/producer/musician Neal Conway was also a huge part of the early success of the Basement Boys along with Ultra Nate', Mass Order, and Crystal Waters.  Currently, Teddy Douglas and Jay Steinhour remain in the Basement Boys label and production house.
