Get up on new dance discoveries and party classics, mixed live by beloved Brooklyn selectors The Rub. This month we have special guest Mike 2600 ripping the set live from Minneapolis. A purveyor of real raw rap and full-figured funk and long-time friend of The Rub, Mike has gotten parties open from St. Paul to San Francisco, from Oregon to Osaka.
This show ran May 2012.
No rest for the weary as we drop a new mix for you guys today with our friends over at Brooklyn Radio. Take a listen as we feature tracks by Oliver $, Jay Fay Ft. G-Eazy, Azealia Banks, Cee-Lo Green, Sticky Ft Natalie Storm and more…
No big introduction needed, by now you should know that Ayres & Eleven aren’t sorry for party rocking. New Yorkers, you can experience this sort of thing live: The next Rub is April 28th at Bell House in Brooklyn! Should be killer as usual!

Friends of The Rub – Mick Boogie
Posted: April 20, 2012 Filed under: Friends of The Rub, MP3, Rub Radio, The RubOur pal Mick Boogie is already well-known for putting out really solid mixtapes over the years, but the one he dropped today is getting tons of attention. “The Grand Royal Mixtape” is an extensive mix from the Beastie Boy catalog and absolutely worth a listen. The back story on the cover of this mix is also quite cool to read about, as he and photographer Jonathan Mannion worked together to recreate the Paul’s Boutique cover.

Honestly, what better artist to listen to on 4/20 than Devin the Dude? Thanks to DJ Eleven’s hour-long “Eleven & The Dude mix,” we got you taken care of quite right. Tracklist after the jump.

Sam has been one busy guy this year with multiple projects under his belt. Last week, he put out a new track “La Musica” that we’re big fans of and is available for free download. Grab it below!
Can’t forget to mention his Young Jeezy “I Do” bootleg, which has been a staple in DJ sets all over the festivals the past few months. Such an addictive tune! Also available for free download below:
He also has been working on a very noteworthy cause called “DJ’s for Climate Change.” He’s put in a ton of his personal time to make a difference, and this past year was his biggest ever. Read more about his cause: DJ’s for Climate Change
Full support from us for this endeavor.
