We’ve been a fan of the Thre3style battles for a while now. Each DJ plays for 15 minutes, and has to spin at least 3 different genres of music. They shift the focus from super technical scratching and beat juggling battles (ITF, DMC) to a longer, more open format, party rocking competition. So when Red Bull approached The Rub to host the event at Southpaw, we jumped on it, reaching out to a bunch of different types of DJs to make it a real fun diverse night of music. Here are the DJs in alphabetical order:
Boogie Blind
Chela
Jayceeoh
Moma
Sam French
Sammy Slice
Terry Urban
Vin Sol
We’re going to start the comp at 10 PM sharp so be sure to go ahead and get to Southpaw early to catch all these awesome DJs. After the winner is announced, it turns into The Rub, as Eleven, Cosmo and I will be playing the party after the battle.
I don’t really know how else to put this… I’m a big Devin The Dude fan!
He’s the perfect combination of an exceptionally talented musician, a great MC, and a hilarious & charismatic guy. He’s been co-signed by and been on records with everyone from Scarface to Kool G Rap, The Roots to Jay-Z, Dre and Snoop to De La Soul. (And that’s only the big names! I’d be typing all day if I listed everyone that ever called him for a guest verse or some singing on a chorus.) Just before the first of the year, I sat down & started going through everything he’s ever been on to unearth all my personal favorites. While doing that, in addition to wishing I smoked weed, I got to thinking on how similar Devin was to another Dude character. Months later, the unholy combination of Devin Copeland + Jeffrey Lebowski + Joe Eleven emerged from the laboratory. And with that…

But wait! If you like the mix, make sure you cop Devin’s new album, “Suite #420” when it drops next week. On 4/20. (Ha) You can find buy links & all his tour dates at www.myspace.com/devinthedude

More Eleven news (Special Delivery & touring related)
Posted: April 8, 2010 Filed under: DJ Eleven, MP3, The RubAs Ayres mentioned a post or two back, I’m heading out on a Scion tour with Sinden, JOTS, and Frankie Chan for some middle-of-the-country shenanigans. But there’s more…
Moma & I just dropped a freeload EP of a couple remixes, featuring the talents of Janet Jackson & Aaliyah, to drum up noise for our monthly Special Delivery party, which we’re relaunching this Saturday, April 10th at Manhattan’s SubMercer (147 1/2 Mercer Street, in the Mercer Hotel). You can grab it at http://www.djeleven.com/foralimitedtimeonly/SpecialDelivery.zip
I’ll also be making stops in Palm Springs (to nerd out & be a fan at Coachella & to rock with DJ Day, Gaslamp Killer, Huggs, and J-Boogie), Cincinnati, Cleveland (with Terry Urban), and Toronto (with Big Jacks, Bozack, and Mensa) around the Scion dates. If you’ll be in any of those cities, head to www.djeleven.com for all the relevant details. Over & out.
Check out DJ Eleven on tour with our pals Sinden, JOTS & Franki Chan! All the events are free but you have to RSVP to get in. These tours happen every month to promote the Radio shows on Scion Radio 17, including Rub Radio. See all the dates on the Scion Radio 17 tour page, and more DJ Eleven tour dates at www.djeleven.com.
DJ Nu-Mark guests on Rub Radio this month. He talks about everything from his days as producer and DJ for Jurassic 5, to swing jazz, to crossing paths with a very young Kanye West, to crate digging and DJing around the world. Nu-Mark takes over the turntables for a banging live set recorded at The Rub party in Brooklyn. As always, Eleven, Cosmo and Ayres throw down, spinning new and classic hip-hop and dance music.

Here is an interview with me, Cosmo & Eleven talking about The Rub and soul music and such, on Cornerstone’s Suite 903 website.

I remixed my friends Business Class, and you can download the MP3 for free! The original is a hybrid bass-pop jam (get it right here). I turned it into a house tune, somewhere in afro-jack-beats territory. Download right here:
Business Class ft. Natalie Storm & Tifa – Running (DJ Ayres remix) (Sendspace)
Burlesque Design dug this remix so much they put it on their Do It To It 3 CD – a bunch of our friends have great tracks on it, and you have to see how insane the packaging is:
My favorite tune on the CD is Pumpkin Patch’s remix of the Doobie Brothers – that’s coming out on Young Robots sometime soon.
