JIALING x Farsight: Baltimore Meets The Bay (Club Selects)
JIALING x Farsight
Sept 26, 2024
Following the release of their joint 'WHISTLE TIP' EP, B'More Club aficionado JIALING and San Francisco DJ/producer Farsight give the nod to their respective hometowns with ten of their favorite club tracks from Baltimore and The Bay Area.
To celebrate the release of our collab EP, peep these ten tracks of Baltimore & Bay Area club music that inform our styles and contribute to our shared vision. This EP happened very organically with the support of Clasico Records (big ups!) and marks several years of friendship and mutual respect. We had fun writing these dancefloor-ready tracks that blend our sound palettes while showing our personalities – trust that you'll be riding with the best of the West and East Coasts when you roll these out at your next function. WHISTLE TIP GOES WOO WOO!
JIALING and Farsight's WHISTLE TIP EP is out now via Clasico. Listen below or Buy it on Beatport.

JIALING - FREAKY HORNS [Baltimore]
Freaked those Bmore horns - bring in the cats! Grateful to have worked with fam on my first Clasico release! The track is inspired by my hometown of Baltimore, and is always so much fun to play - both inside and out of the 410!
Farsight - Think Well [The Bay]
"Think Well" is a track off my most recent solo EP, which came out on Dusky's label 17 Steps. This tune represents my love for breakbeat-driven music and is a modern approach to the sound. I chose it to show some recent work of mine and rep for the Bay.
MIGHTY MARK & TT THE ARTIST - Say Yeah [Baltimore]
Mighty Mark and TT the Artist on an electro beat just slaps. It’s a great tune to get the dance floor participating and moving. The duo’s entire catalog on Moveltraxx is not one to be missed.
Tasti Box - San Francisco [The Bay]
This track is featured as part of the very first release by Zoëmagik, an iconic San Francisco label from the early '90s. Featuring exuberant rave stabs, hip hop influenced vocal samples throughout the tune and of course a generous helping of breaks, you can just imagine this lighting underground SF dance floors on fire back in the day. Proud to have this on wax!
DJ Who - Shitty Samples on Acid [Baltimore]
Where old school and new school meet. Chip Watkins (aka DJ Who) never drops the energy on this breakbeat banger released via the '90s Baltimore label Defective Records. Influences of early trance and Florida breaks can be heard throughout this release. If you like smokey synths, groovy percussion and funky vocals, this one’s for you.
Bassbin Twins - Bassbin Sound [The Bay]
Although this cut is from 2008, Bassbin Twins is an essential '90s San Francisco electronic artist with roots firmly in the underground rave scene. This tune features a bouncy, swung — almost UKG style rhythm to it.
Big Tony aka Miss Tony - Whatzup? Whatzup? (How You Wanna Carry It) [Baltimore]
A classic. This is the legendary Miss Tony aka Big Tony’s second release produced by Scottie B and Shawn Ceasar on Unruly Records. Still carries 30 years later — crazy! RIP MISS TONY!
Anoesis - Heavy Water [The Bay]
This track is a sublime mixture of breaks and progressive / early trance sounds. It's exactly the kind of psychedelic, driving, '90s futuristic sound that so many contemporary artists are working hard to capture. It stands the test of time and can really hypnotize a dance floor when deployed at the right moment.
DJ Booman - God’s Got It (Kade Young B-More Beats Remix) [Baltimore]
Kade Young does a stripped-back club mix of Booman’s soulful house track, showcasing his crisp drum and percussion programming. Released on Unquantize, the sublabel of Quantize Recordings by DJ Spen, the track showcases the interaction between house and club music in Baltimore.
Bastiengoat - to a level where love is real [The Bay]
Shout outs to the Bay Area homie Julian (aka Bastiengoat) — this one is a great example of their sound and is a real sub-rattler. Party-starting vibes inside!
