Jersey Club or “Brick City Club”, hence the names, originated in Newark, NJ in the 1990s. Jersey Club also has its origins in various genres such as Baltimore Club, Detroit House/Techno Ghetto Tech and New Jersey’s House scene.
Jersey Club became an established genre in 1999-2000 when Dj Tameil, a Newark native, began to play Baltimore Club songs at the parties he hosted and established a style of his own based on elements of Baltimore Club. DJ Tameil joined forces with the “Brick Bandits”, another prominent Jersey Club crew, and they became the pioneers of Jersey Club.
