The Who – Baltimore Music Collective
The BMC is a production and promotional collective working with several organizations and other promotional companies dedicated to bringing over the top events featuring the underground sound.
Starting in 2005 with the Baltimore Music Conference, and in 2010 collaborating with Morphius Records to produce the Baltimore Independent Music and Arts Festival (BiMA.fest), we began by producing an annual event which included all genres of music from rock & roll to country as well as electronic and dance music.
Realizing though that sometimes less is more, in 2011 we decided to concentrate on our first love…
dance music with all its genres and sub-genres!

The What, Where & When – MIXOLOGY
The Mid-Atlantic’s premier dance & electronic music event brings DJs, live performances, emerging artists and music, industry buzz sessions, workshops, demonstrations, new technology, networking, dance performances and art exhibits all together for a celebration of dance music and it’s creative culture!

“The Parties and The Music”
The artist showcases and parties hosted at the Paradox, Baltimore’s most legendary venue along with other venues to be determined, provide you and the artists with a non-stop entertainment experience all week!

The venues we select to host our parties at are located in downtown Baltimore and have been selected because of their history rich in dance music and/or their commitment to the future of it! The Paradox was a part of the beginning rave scene in Baltimore and have seen many of today’s famous DJs during their starting days!
Still in existence and still hosting parties every week, the Paradox has seen the electronic dance movement from its start and know it’s far from finishing!
Additional venues hosting parties over the weekend, which are soon to be announced, are also a vibrant part of the Baltimore Dance Scene these days and we happily include them in this “history in the making” event!
All venues will be selected for their downtown locations and eclectic amenities and combined will easily accommodate the event’s 7,000+ expected guests… be one of them!

We welcome all genres of dance music, MC’s, vocalists and livetronica at MIXOLOGY. Past performers during the BMC and BIMA.fest have included upcoming artists as well as Wu Tang Clan, Tittsworth , Adam F, Terry Mullan, Bossman, Planet of the Drums, Dynamix II, LTJ Bukem, MC Conrad, DJ Icey, Future Rock, Micro, Charles Feelgood, Deiselboy, Illy Emcee, Bad Boy Bill, 12th Planet, Smash Gordon, Oh Snap!, Get Em Mamis, Scottie B, DJ Pope, Dave Nada, Mullyman, and Headhunterz Inc.

“Meeting of the Minds” & “The Sessions”
Our “Meeting of the Minds” will bring together veteran and new DJs and producers to discuss issues being discussed on message boards and in booths all over the country!
Then it’s breakout sessions for smaller groups to discuss and suggest possible solutions and ideas culminating at the end of the day with “Mind over Matter” as everyone joins together again to share what’s been discussed.
Seminars and Workshops also being held at this time are designed with both the seasoned and those just starting out in mind.
Our overall program is designed to bring all together to discuss and present new ideas, discuss industry issues, and build new inroads for business development.

Although informative and educational, we offer a relaxed atmosphere for our attendees as well as round table open forums so even those just starting out will find themselves upfront and personal with some of the hottest tastemakers in the biz.

Speakers and panelists include artists, producers, managers, record label executives, entertainment attorneys, media and PR moguls such as some of these past speakers… Fiona Bloom – The Bloom Effect, Martin Atkins – Invisible Records, David Andler – Morphius Records, Nokio – Dru Hill, Brian Mc Ternan – Salad Days Studios, Junior Goris – Team Pitbull, Corey Boddie – Boddie & Associates, Paul Gardner – The Gardner Law Group

“The Marketplace”
The Marketplace brings together the latest technology, products, services, and gear plus an array of music and technology professionals where they can interact, exhibit, conduct deals, and take part in a number of interactive workshops.

“Record Fair”
For those looking for that one song they know brings everyone on the dance floor to it’s knees but their copy is scratched… we have the solution! Showcasing new and used releases from hundreds of labels and including a trading and exchange area for all the vinyl junkies attending!
