I was shocked to read today on HipHossip.com that DJ K-Swift died on July 22 in some sort of pool accident. Not that anyone ever clicks this link on the side of my page (under blogroll) BaltimoreClubTracks.com, but that’s my way of getting my Baltimore house music fix when I need it. Today might be such an occasion.
She was a regular on Baltimore’s 92.3 (92Q), and I’m sure this has been all over the airwaves locally (that’s what I get for being trapped inland).
Here are some article links so you can read about DJ K Swift and her contribution to the unique flavor that is Baltimore club music…as well as a rockin’ female dj in an industry dominated by men.

RIP DJ K Swift
K-swift you were always bangin in my iPod. YOu make me run faster when I hear you cuttin on da 1s and 2s. If I graduate it will be because of Bmore Club Music, and esp. because of you. You show hope and hard work for young women! Let your skills inspire!
K-Swift’s sudden death was a shock to everyone in the Baltimore Metropolitan area. She was in the middle of the Baltimore Club Music scene. She was the only female DJ on commercial Baltimore radio for a while. She also accomplished a personal goal by loosing some a lot of weight in order to be healthier. She was an inspiration to other female’s that wanted to be DJs.
We will see if another female steps up to the plate and brings the female radio DJ to a new level.
