Scott Melker Edit – Lana Del Ray vs Jay-Z
Posted: March 16, 2012 Filed under: MP3, Rub Radio, The RubExtended Rub family member and featured guest tonight, Scott Melker, brings us a big big track giveway today of a new edit he has made.
We’ve worked with Scott Melker for years, as he has guested at the Rub numerous times, toured with Rub members, and even collaborated on mixes with us as well. He’s one of New York’s top DJ’s that fits in with our mentality perfectly.
We are ecstatic to have him play with us tonight and even more gratified to offer you his new remix:

Live at Southpaw (February 2012)
Posted: March 1, 2012 Filed under: MP3, Rub Radio, The Rub | Tags: February 2012 Live MixWe put a whole lot of thought into our sets for the last one at Southpaw, and we wanted to hit a ton of Rub “standards” from the past 9 years in addition to the brand new music and classics we’re known for. The party was completely rammed from 10 PM til 4:00 AM, and this two hours is chopped down from the entire six hours we recorded. We edited it to reflect the arc of the party and tried to leave in the best parts without fucking up the flow too much, and you can hear all the drunken shoutouts and some of the crowd noise. This was the most fun party we’ve ever DJed in our lives, and we think it’s just a taste of what’s to come.

Last year a lot of folks asked me when we’re going to do History of Hip-Hop 2010 and I always sort of deflected the question, like “it’s too soon to have perspective on this stuff, let’s let it simmer and look back at it in a few years.” But the truth is (these are my confessions) I don’t feel personally engaged enough in new rap music to do it justice. There’s just too much to keep track of everything, and a whole lot what I listen to doesn’t work in the club (Action Bronson, Danny Brown), is too offensive to go on our monthly Rub Radio show for Scion (Odd Future, Danny Brown), is closer to R&B or club music than to rap (Drake), or has other DJs talking over it.
Plus when I’m driving around, my daughter is usually in the car and she makes us listen to Polish children’s CDs instead of Hot 97. Don’t get me wrong, I stay on top of it with the “rap songs that kill it in the club” and have my cute wordplay mixes and mashups edits, but more and more I find myself exposed to rap by DJ Eleven and guests who play The Rub like Nick Catchdubs, Grandtheft, Rico Uno and so forth. BTW if you want to know where my focus is as a DJ, look at my Top Ten charts from the last few years, and at the music we’re putting out on T&A and Young Robots.
However, there are plenty of good DJs who still do the work and definitely keep me on my toes; one of these is Matthew Africa. He’s just compiled two hours of his favorite 2011 raps, plus he has a great rap podcast with my favorite asshole heckler, Sergdun. These are especially good if you like West Coast rap, as they rep the Bay Area. I mean I would have at least put a Maino song on but what are you going to do.
TRACKLISTS ARE HERE (or after the jump)
The other folks I want to shout out are Southern Hospitality, they run a great blog and stay super focused on the new raps. So check them out.
