Chip is one of the owners of Midtown Records pictured with

DJ Oji, fresh off of a dj set in Chicago.

Donnie dj's @ Goodlove Bar, Red Maple, etc and Momi is the Manager of the Brothers in the Struggle. Momi's is so fun.

Our 1st resident dj who could no longer avoid the camera. Gotcha' Henry.

Momi & Karizma(watch out for his new Kohesive project)

Marty & Sheila have slammin' House tracks on the b-sOuL cd and Geoffrey C has done a remix of the Floetry track "say yes".

Watch out for something special from dj Oji and Una this year as some tracks have already been completed.

Jason is an acquaintance of dj Pope's and a longtime listener of the now defunct "Underground Experience". He has a lot of musical talent and we had an eerie feeling that we could be looking at the next Satoshi Tomeii and wanted to capture his picture now. Good luck Jason.

After much confusion on this day because of the snow, Midtown Records was convinced to open up for the listening party despite the mess(snow) that occurred over night.  So on Friday(2/7/03) afternoon the Black Books Cafe and DJ Pope scrambled to get emails out and the website updated so our friends would still come.  We also had to quickly find refreshments because when we initially cancelled the party we also cancelled the food order.  The result was a party with a small family type atmosphere that brought together a lot of Baltimore's House artists/dj's.  Of course John Johnson and dj Pope(b-sOuL) were there.  But Sheila Ford, Marty St. Michaels, Ultra Nate', Momi & son, dj Oji(just back from Chicago), Henry "Da Man", dj Karizma, Geoffrey C, Donny Burlin, Lynette Smith, Jay Steinhour(Basement Boys), dj Patrick, Jason Din, and other House heads showed up to support the listening party.  Although we have pictures I believe dj Patrick got the picture of the year.  As we were all preparing to leave he got a shot of all of us and could come out looking like the documentary "Great day in Harlem", where all the great Jazz artists were brought together for interviews and a photograph was taken with all the legends of the time.  Thanks to Chip and Zik of Midtown records for hosting this event.
