New Rub Radio: RCMP



RCMP

Italo-disco wunderkinds RCMP open up their deep crates with a mix on Rub Radio this month, and get on the mic for a lesson in their local Pittsburgh dialect. For more on RCMP visit YoungRobots.com. And as always, the rubbers (Cosmo Baker, DJ Eleven and DJ Ayres) blaze through sets of hip-hop, soul, house and everything funky. Listen right here:

Tittsworth x Nina Sky x Pitbull x DJ Day MP3



img

Tittsworth just released his “Maneater”-nodding, Nina Sky and Pitbull-featuring “Here He Comes” as a single through Plant, which is good news for fans of boomy Baltimore club and appropriated Hall & Oates hooks. This version from DJ Day, which is basically a classic disco/Bmore hybrid, isn’t on that release since it came out on the 12 Steps Remixes EP through T&A last year. But, now we have an excuse to post it, and the passage of time doesn’t make it any less next level.

Go download the MP3 from our friends at RCRD LBL

Just a little update so people can make their plans for the holidays:

We will be throwing The Rub New Year’s Eve party in a warehouse space this year, at the Can Factory, where we’ve had our Annual Holiday Warehouse Party in the past. We will not be having that one, which would have been Dec 19 (darn recession). Tickets and flyer and such will be available soon, just keep checking back on our website or subscribe to the email list.
