FOTR: Prince Klassen
Posted: September 5, 2017 Filed under: Friends of The Rub | Tags: fotr, Prince Klassen
FOTR this week is Prince Klassen. He’s a regular guest at The Rub and a top shelf FOTR if there ever was one. He moved out of NY at the end of 2016 and there was a short time where it was unknown if he was going to maintain his presence out our monthly event at The Bell House. Thankfully, things have settled in on a bit of normalcy and Prince Klassen has been a part of almost every Rub party so far in 2017. With his regularly scheduled monthly visits now, he’s been playing other parties and keeping up with his Wild Combinations Mix series out at Lot Radio. Check out his most recent mix below and click on some of his socials to keep tabs with our bud.

You already know Prince Klassen as our resident opening DJ for the last few years, so you should be no stranger to his impeccable taste and ninja dj skills. This month he takes over Rub Radio, and much like his sets at The Bell House, this is both a musicology lesson and a sensual treat; a journey for your ears and your ass.

FOTR this week is Prince Klassen as he’s one of our guests on NYE at The Bell House and he’s been a resident with us there for a solid minute now. He was so kind to deliver us 3 categories of his “Records of The Year”. Peep some wonderful music below.

Prince Klassen – MiMS Mix # 33
Posted: September 23, 2014 Filed under: Friends of The Rub, Prince Klassen | Tags: Prince KlassenHere’s my mellow Prince Klassen’s latest mix; I’ll let him tell you about it:
MIMS Guest Mix: PRINCE KLASSEN (Turntable Lab, NYC) by Music Is My Sanctuary on Mixcloud
Hey everyone,
This Saturday is The Rub’s annual Halloween party, pretty much our favorite party of the year, so we hollered at a couple of our favorite DJs to rock at the Bell House with us. Here are a couple of mixtapes from Bo Bliz and Prince Klassen for you to listen to while you’re getting your costume straight:
Bo Bliz – 19XX Mix – Crossfaded X The Decades by Crossfadedbacon on Mixcloud
This was the last regular Rub party. We’ll be back for a Halloween reunion every year, but The Rub is no longer a monthly or quarterly party.
Residents: DJ Eleven and DJ Ayres
Guests: DJ Low Beezy, DJ Lindsey, Prince Klassen and Brent Tactic

The Rub – Hip Hop History 2012
Posted: January 27, 2019 Filed under: History of Hip-Hop, Rub Radio | Tags: History Of Hip-HopThere’s an argument to be made that 2012 was one of the greatest years in hip-hop. The Rub’s History of Hip Hop 2012 mix argues the case forcefully, with wall to wall bangers in a plethora of regional styles.
LA’s DJ Mustard produced approximately 99.9% of the songs on hip-hop & R&B radio, and Kendrick Lamar dropped a masterpiece of an LP. Future, Macklemore, and Trinidad James blew up, Big Sean, Meek Mill and 2 Chainz had monster radio records, and Kanye’s G.O.O.D. music compilation kept him on the airwaves (alongside Jay-Z and Pusha T). NOLA bounce saw a big resurgence: Nicky Da B went from local artist to international sensation with “Express Yourself,” and the “Triggaman” beat found its way into big club singles by T.I. & Lil Wayne, Trina and Meek Mill among others. ATL-style hip-hop trap and EDM-style trap began to play nice together, and DJs like Bauuer, Diplo, Lunice & Hudson Mohawke, RL Grime and Cashmere Cat all had big hybrid hip-hop-R&B-EDM-trap records. The Bay area scene also produced a bunch of hits, especially HBK Gang. Throw in a NY renaissance – French Montana, Nicki Minaj, ASAP Mob, Action Bronson, El-P, etc – and you’ve got yourself a banner year for hip-hop.
