Bang Noyes just came out on Young Robots, a label I’m helping to run along with Philadelphyinz and RCMP. The group consists of 7L (of 7L & Esoteric and Bladerunners), Braun (of Bladerunners) and Spadafore, a studio musician from Miami who has produced hits for Juelz Santana, DJ Khaled and many others. The best way I can describe it is if 1993 Todd Terry had access to 2011 gear and production techniques. They gave us so many tracks that we couldn’t fit them all on the EP, so we’re giving away a couple of bonus joints. Don’t say we never did nothing for ya!

I banged this out backstage at The Rub so I could give this song a little more energy from the jump… both start with Lil Wayne’s verse rather than B.O.B., and have a more familiar, mixable intro. Strictly for the DJs!
Get hip to new dance discoveries and party classics, mixed live by beloved Brooklyn selectors The Rub. This month we’re joined by Australian turntablist / party rocker / video dj / teenage lycanthrope, Sampology. Just his intro alone will melt your brain, not to mention his extended DJ set and interview.
This show ran November 2011.

Mr Dibbs, the innovative DJ and producer, the one who has given so much of himself and his heart through music, entertainment and now food, has come to a place in his life where he is in need of our help. Last month he was diagnosed with Cirrhosis which is the scarring of the liver and poor liver function. It is the final phase of chronic liver disease. He is no longer able to work being that he is in and out of the hospital too much. In just a month, having no insurance, his medical bills have reached over $485,000. Please, if you can spare it, any amount would help. You can make donations directly to Brad through the paypal account email Hellkitchen@netzero.com. Go to Paypal, click send money, in the TO address type in: Hellkitchen@netzero.com. You can follow Brad’s progress at www.twitter.com/mrdibbs. Thank you all.
