You Know What
Rub Radio welcomes Jesse Tittsworth to the show this month,
throwing down a set of Baltimore club, rave jams and exclusive remixes,
then sitting down for a deep and personal interview about food. Scorpions!
Tripe! By the way, he has a new album out called "12 Steps" and
it rules! Plus Ayres, Cosmo and Eleven play tons of new and classic
hip-hop, house, and even some dubstep. Listen at http://www.scion.com/channel2 or iTunes > Radio > Hip-Hop > The Rub on Scion Radio 17
New record on T&A!
Out now - 12 Steps - The T&A
Remixes
Go to TurntableLab.com for Vinyl and Digital.
Europe - order the vinyl at Juno.
MP3s also available at
Amazon and
iTunes
Five primetime party remixes of joints from Tittsworth's debut
album on Plant Music, and you know Titts & Ayres
wouldn't skimp on the remixers for this one. Melting Pot's DJ
Day kicks it off with his feel-good Latin/disco/Bmore hybrid
mix of "Here He Comes" with Pitbull on the mic and Nina Sky channeling Hall & Oates. Watch for the squelchy keys toward the end - glad to know Day's back
at it. Meterhead follows with their take on "Drunk As Fuck" with hyphy forerunners The Federation, where they replay New Order's "Blue Monday" and whip the whole thing into an electro-80s whomper. Sammy Bananas (Fool's
Gold) transports Kid Sister and Pase Rock to Spring Break '92
with his mix of "WTF" featuring a hyper "Rump Shaker" jack, while Bird Peterson puts the bassline/fidgit chop on Ludacris' "Southern Hospitality" for his remix of "Tear The Club Up 2008." Bay area producer and recent Fool's Gold signee Trackademicks closes things
out with his take on "Drunk As Fuck" with an clever sample that reveals itself right at the end.
Bonus: DJ Day mashes his "Here He Comes" instrumental
with Big Daddy Kane "Raw." Download it for free here.
So
me and Eli have teamed up like Voltron or Ten Speed & Brown
Shoe, or Power Man & Iron Fist, on some new newness. A lot of things are happening and one of them
is our brand new party that we're starting this Wednesday in Manhattan.
For a while now we've been on some "more really good music needs to be played out the right way to really good people" and so because of that we're really going to go "all in" on this jawn.
Expect lots of disco of course. Also house music. But we're
also going to be doing the damn thing on hip-hop and soul and funk as
well.
Kind of like back in the day when one would go out to a club
and you never knew what to expect to hear, although you expected to kind
of hear everything / anything and that you KNEW it would be fresh. That's
kind of like when people actually trusted DJs and would go with them
on a whim... "Hmmm, I don't know this record but it's groovy and Eli / Cosmo is playing this
so I have faith in my dude(s)." Dig me?
So yeah, I mean this is just the teaser type steez and the
real jumpoff will be coming soon... but understand that this is official.
BANG! w/ Eli Escobar & Cosmo
Baker - Every Wednesday night @ 105 Rivington St. New York. All chips
are in. Expect some really crazy shit in the coming months, like some
really REALLY crazy ill shit that is on some mind blown type steez. We
hope to see you derelicts out.
Love,
Eli & Cosmo
Friday, November 28
Jake One just came out with a new
album featuring MF
Doom, Freeway, Busta Rhymes, M.O.P., Little Brother and a bunch of other great
rappers. If you feel like hip-hop isn't what it used to be, you have to hear this record!
This very well might be my favorite club record of 2008. BANGS SO
HARD!
Wednesday, November 18
Quarter Water (DJ Ayres and Matt Cee) EP out now at Turntable
Lab!
My side is all blends which I have been playing out a lot. "Push
It" over "Higher State of Conciousness," the "Face Down Ass Up" vs "Calabria" joint (extended), and Paul Johnson vs High Powered Boys "Get Down." Matty Cee goes in a little deeper with the excellent juiced up 2008 version
of Inner City "Good Life," an original house tune with a bunch of samples including Jungle Brothers on "Sooo Real" (this is my favorite of the bunch), and Ralphi Rosario "You Used to Hold Me" over Mason "Exceeder." This EP is super limited edition so don't sleep.
† †
When you buy the record on Turntable Lab it comes with a free
CD that has all the MP3s on it.
Bun B of UGK drops in on Rub Radio this month and talks about everything from
Pimp C's legacy, to maintaining a level head in the music business, to his love
for Massive Attack and The Raconteurs. The Rub dudes head out to Chicago to hit
the studio with Willy Joy and Zebo, who give hilarious interviews and dig deep
in their soul and juke crates to throw down exclusive mixes. DJ Eleven hops on
the turntables with a gang of Outkast-related joints, DJ Ayres plays house music
and Cosmo Baker cuts up brand new hip-hop. Listen!
The show is also on iTunes now, which is a huge improvement for people who had
trouble streaming it in the past. It's still streaming only but now you can access
it directly through iTunes. There's two ways to do it, either put this link in

Check it out, we have a ton of new Rub Radio online right now!
This month on Rub Radio, the boys
welcome two big dog special guests. The first is none other than
Drum & Bass legend Photek, who discusses his career from being signed to Virgin Records
in the UK at age 19 all the way up to scoring film and television
in Hollywood; then he blesses the turntables with a bass-heavy
DJ set. Then Rich Medina stops by to rock the party and shoot
the bull in a "This is Your Life" session with Cosmo, Ayres, and Eleven.
The show is also on iTunes now, which is a huge improvement for people who had trouble streaming it in the past.
It's still streaming only but now you can access it directly through
iTunes. There's two ways to do it, either put this link in your browser-
Or just open iTunes then click on "Radio" then "Hip-Hop" then "The
Rub on Scion Radio 17"
On Brooklyn
Radio we have 2 new sets, both live from the Do-Over. This
is one of the livest parties in LA, and both Eleven and Cosmo played
there this summer. Lucky for you, they were recorded and you can download
both from Rub Radio. Don't say we never gave you anything!

I'm from Philly and of course you know us folks from the 215 have a rich history
in soul music. On top of that, Philly was one of the epicenters of the great "neo
soul" movement of the 90s and beyond. Of course Raphael embodies all of that, so of
course when I had the opportunity to work with material from someone who I
consider one of
the greatest living artists today in the world, I jumped at the chance.
When I was talking to The God Rehani and I was telling him about this mix and
about Raphael's new album he was incredible enthusiastic. And, as someone who
has worked with him on music, the first words that came out of his mouth were "Genius.
That man is a genius." At the time I had been struggling with coming up with a title for the mix, but
the term "genius" immediately struck a chord with me. I also had been struggling on how to actually
make the mix considering that there's so much material out there that the man
had his hands directly on. What to include, what to cut, the decisions were
excruciating, and if it were up to me I would have made this a 5 CD box set
and still wouldn't
have had enough space to include everything.
This mix is a representation of Raphael Saadiq's sound - from the early days
of Tony! Toni! Toné! through his solo work and the neo-soul era, to his latest
endeavors - including music from his latest album. Solo records, collaborations,
guest appearances, productions, remixes, exclusives and more... I hope I did
Raphael some justice.

Damn, can you say stacked? Tittsworth and Ayres' T&A
label drops another batch of Baltimore club bombs on us, this time from a diverse
cast which includes Hollertronix associate DJ Sega, Finland's Top Billin crew,
Chi-town's Rob Threezy, and even the club legend himself, DJ Technics. Technics
steals the show with two different versions of Radiohead's hazy "Everything In Its Right Place" - I think the "Supa mix" is the best of the bunch, but you can't go wrong with the instrumental "Beatdown mix" or the bonus digital-only "FX Mix." Titts gives AC/DC the club treatment ons "Thunderstruck," Jim Sharp fuses Jungle and Bmore on "Champion Junglist Sound," Threezy cuts up LTD's disco staple "Love To The World," and Top Billin gives "In The Ass" some nasty dubstep bass. - Van Hammersly, Turntable Lab

New Weekly Party!
Free weekly! Flashing
Lights at Public Assembly! Catchdubs, Jubilee and I take over the club formerly known as Galapagos every
Friday to spin the best in house, techno, disco, bass, wobble,
bleep whiz shebang.
The Rub was
named one of New York City's best DJ nights in New York Magazine.
"The D.J. trio and hip-hop historical society collectively known
as the Rub have long since been a welcome local presence at a multitude
of one-off parties, and they have their own program on BrooklynRadio.net.
But their monthly Saturday-night jam at Southpaw, around since 2002,
is still the trio’s natural habitat. A no-pretense bash where Souls
of Mischief, Digital Underground, and old-school Ice Cube rule the
speakers? Damn, today was a good day."
I record myself a lot (internally using the Rane TTM-57) but I rarely put up
live sets. For the Scion tours I usually work out some sets and then
do things a little different each night, but do certain transitions
that I like the same way each night. A few transitions like the DJ
Kool / Jay-Z thing, and the Dr Dre into MOP, are things I've been doing
since last year and should probably retire...
Anyhow this set is really two recordings from two different cities
spliced together - part of a warmup set and then later on in the
more hype part of the
night. The edit point is "Mr. Scarface." I
played a lot more Texas rap but it would be dumb to post that part
of the set up because Houston for Dummies was the last podcast - http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/the-rub/~5/361468364/HoustonForDummies.mp3
