Baltimore is bringing you a four day festival filled with rock, soul, R&B and HIP-HOP music. Noise In the Basement is a massive gathering of indie-record stores, representing over 700 stores from the US and Canada, in Baltimore, MD.

Soul and R&B acts on the bill for September 17th are K’NAAN, One Block Radius, and Nappy Roots amongst a host of astonishing artists.

My Crew Be Unruly presents a Tribute to K-Swift on Friday, September 19th at Fletcher ’s Bar. DJ K- Swift was best known as the Queen of Baltimore Club Edgerton’s radio show Off the Hook Radio which aired on 92.3 WERQ-FM. K-swift masterly orchestrated the rise of Baltimore’s club music onto the airwaves. She was also the founder of Club Queen Entertainment, a group focused on creating signature graphics, production and management within the music industry.

The festivities will wind down lavishly at the Sonar Lounge at 407 East Saratoga Street in Baltimore featuring Kindred Family Soul, Eric Robeson, Janelle Monae, Noot d’ Noot, and Ndelible, along with local celebrity DJ’s and special music industry guests.

Music Monitor Network convenes twice a year, once at the annual NARM meeting and again at a separate Music Monitor Network Convention and Creative Conference, called Noise in the Basement, which is held in Baltimore, MD in September.

Music Monitor Network was formed in June of 1997 to benefit both mid-sized independently owned music retailers and record labels/distributors. As retailers with 2 to 30 stores, Network account chains are large enough to deal direct with the major labels and are considered to be very important accounts in terms of breaking artists. By combining the marketing efforts of mid-sized chains across the country, the Music Monitor Network allows labels to save time and money by enjoying economies of scale in the execution of innovative promotional/advertising campaigns.
