In 2005 we made a mix CD with a bunch of our blends, and it took off like a rocket, selling worldwide and garnering a ton of praise from music magazines and even the New York Times. So much so that a lot of people thought of The Rub as a “mash-up party” and we traveled the world playing clubs in this style. Over the next four years, we released two more mixes in the “It’s the Motherfucking Remix” series, and created a spinoff vinyl collection. As we’re celebrating our 14 year anniversary this Saturday, we thought we’d re-up the entire mix series. A huge shout out to all of our guest DJs at the party over the years who gave us remixes for the CDs, and special thanks to Nick Catchdubs and Four Color Zack for making the artwork.
