My birthday party is this Saturday at Public Assembly in Williamsburg. I’ll be joined by Starks & Nacey, Deep Sang, Cousin Cole, Phi Unit and Senari (DJ set) and it’s free!
Scion A/V Presents: Escort Interview from Scion A/V on Vimeo.
This month The Rub is joined by Dan Balis and Eugene Cho, the brain trust behind the 17 piece disco band Escort. They tell us about fanning out on Brian Eno, share their secret microphone placement techniques, and debate the likelihood of James Murphy owning a yacht. After a stellar Escort DJ set, The Rub dudes play some tunes of their own.
After you watch the interview, listen to the entire three hour Rub Radio show at http://scion.com/channel2, on iTunes > Radio > Hip-Hop > The Rub on Scion Radio 17
Or right here:
Scion A/V Presents: Midnight Magic Interview from Scion A/V on Vimeo.
Rub Radio heads to Portland, Oregon for a super heavy session with The Miracles Club. These throwback house heads share an interview and a deeeep dj set with us, then we take over the tables with hip-hop, moombahton, funk and more.
This show ran June 2011.
Rub Radio doubles up this month in celebration of four years on Radio 17. First up we have Midnight Magic, who bring their disco party to the turntables and join us for a chat. Then Strip Steve (Boys Noize records) goes hard with an exclusive mix.
This show ran May 2011.
Win Win is a supergroup who we’re lucky to be pals with. XXXChange, Ghostdad and Chris Devlin make weird awesome music and their debut album is out now! They play us a bunch of it and talk about funneling subconcious positive energy into music recordings. We’re also joined by our friends from Calgary, Wax Romeo and Fordinho, so stick around to learn exactly how far the latter can physically throw the former.
(this show ran in April of 2011)
I’m starting a new mix series on my site called Heavy Warmup. I love this DJ slot, it’s the time of the night when people are getting their second drink, the dancefloor is just starting to fill up, and the DJ can tease the crowd with great forgotten jams and new secret weapons. So I’ve asked a bunch of my favorite DJs to record a heavy warmup mix and I’ll be posting a new one every couple of weeks on my website.
DJ Eleven – Heavy Warmup Vol 2
DJ Eleven throws down a Heavy Warmup set! Tony Toni Tone, Pharrell, Stevie Wonder, Nate Dogg and loads more of your favorite 11 PM jams, quick mixed to perfection.
DJ Ayres – Heavy Warmup Vol 1
Here is Volume 1, recorded live at Bond in Las Vegas. Expect LL Cool J, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Ruff Ryders, Madonna, Neyo, Sharon Brown, Lil Louis, Janelle Monae, Robin S and a ton of unexpected 11 PM heat. Pre-bangers! Read the rest of this entry »
