For our latest installment of Originators, we focus on a niche genre within Baltimore club music, shakeoff. Shakeoff may be one of the most insane-sounding genres to someone unacquainted with it: high-BPM Club that uses deftly chopped Lil Jon samples and gunshots as instruments. I got a chance to catch up with DJ K-Spin, who is widely credited with the creation of this wild genre. We spoke about Baltimore club, shakin’ and rockin’ off, and the origins of the iconic “whats” and “heys” that define this genre. As always, K-Spin provided a mix, blended in the style of the dance battles to which the genre is so strongly tied.
