With origins from the east coast Baltimore Club Music (or B-more) has be continuously evolving as more producers continue to put their own spin on the 8/4 beat structure with tempos around 130 beats per minute. Genres like Jersey Club, Philly Club and others have emerged, and some of the brightest young producers in the game are holding it down for the club music scene. Check out our list of 10 Club Music producers that are absolutely killing it on their production/DJ game right now (in no particular order).
(In before the Hater): Before I continue on with this article, there has been a lot of talk around some masked producers ransacking the Jersey Club scene, and some of those artists are featured in this article. Not because we are trying to take food off the plate from Jersey Based producers, but because these masked artists make some amazing club music, period. This post isn’t strictly around Jersey Club music either. We do pay tribute to some of the best Jersey based producers in our What is Jersey Club Music? post though, if you want to check that out as well.

A producer that has been in the game for quite some time, and has garnered support from some of the biggest underground dance music leaders. Austin, Texas via New York, DJ / Producer Dubbel Dutch (a.k.a. Marc Glasser) has been putting his own spin on club music since he burst on to the scene. Coming through with some of the most unique productions and remixes I’ve ever heard in the club music space, DD is a producer to get familiar with. There is also speculation that DD is goes under the secret moniker DJ Funeral, although it has not been confirmed. I was playing his Slow Club Mix (featured below) on repeat for about 6 months straight, strongly suggest you check that mix out, it’s just too good. Check out some tracks and mixes from Dubbel Dutch below:

One of the most popular club music ambassadors in the game right now, with multiple collaborations with Flosstradamus, and leader of the cartel music crew, this New Jersey based young gunner has been making nothing but big moves over the past year. More importantly, his production has been nothing less of on point. Check out some dope Jersey Club tracks from Dj Sliink below:

Dj Hoodboi

Another masked producer taking on the jersey club music style of production, DJ HOODBOI has already garnered support from Mad Decent and other key players in the scene. Similar to Trippy Turtle, he’s got a y2k R&B style, selecting remixes of tracks that were hot when I was in Junior High (and I’m not complaining about it either). Whoever is taking on the DJ HOODBOI moniker has definitely been producing for quite some time, but unlike the others, I have absolutely no idea who this guy is. Regardless his beats are clean, and everything he’s been putting out is top notch. Check out some Jersey Club stylings from DJ HB below:
Janet Jackson – I Get Lonely (DJ Hoodboi Remix)

Ginuwine – Differences (DJ Hoodboi Remix)

Ciara – Blow Ya Back Out (DJ Hoodboi Remix)
