Natalie Storm
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.
I asked Top Billin to remix Rob Threezy’s “The Chase” and although it wasn’t done in time for the EP (due to a computer crash), it’s finally here and free for you. Grab it over on Mad Decent and go buy Rob Threezy’s “Let’s Go Ravers” EP on Amazon.com, Turntable Lab or iTunes.
“If Rob Threezy’s membership in the Chicago’s Ghetto Division isn’t enough proof that his tracks represent the new vanguard of the Chicago sound, then perhaps this astounding remix from Finland’s Top Billin’ will convince doubters. Given the original’s stems, Top Billin’ somehow make “The Chase” even more of a Windy City club banger, channeling the monstrous kicks of Cajmere, the sampling style of early Larry Heard projects, and even a bit of Adonis’ acid. In no uncertain terms, this is a perfect house track, and one hell of a remix.” – Thomas Rees for XLR8R Magazine
This month The Rub welcomes DJ Kayper, London dj extraordinaire and host of The Hype Show on BBC‘s Asian Network. Kayper rocks a set of old-school hip-hop and London dance music (with serious skills), and talks about her journey from teenage turntablist to eclectic club and radio DJ.
The Village Voice wrote a very flattering recommendation for The Rub: ” If hip hop is what you’re looking for, go to Southpaw for the Rub’s monthly sweat-fest. Residents Cosmo Baker, DJ Eleven, and DJ Ayres are some of the city’s finest and will keep you dancing with a masterfully mixed set of rap, funk, and probably no Lady Gaga. The line for this party can be tiresome, so get there early.” Join us, won’t you?
Tittsworth & I have a new release, rock to this! Rob Threezy is an unstoppable young producer and DJ from Chicago’s Ghetto Division crew. Rob is best known for his unique take on Baltimore Club fused with classic Rave samples, having jumpstarted a whole movement with his now-classic “The Chase.” With releases on Mad Decent, Fool’s Gold, Nightshifters and Fabric Live, Threezy has been banging out hits nonstop since he first released “Love To The World” on T&A less than two years ago. “Let’s Go Ravers” sees him stretch out, from the minimal 808-driven “Round House” to hyperactive dubstep on “They’re Coming,” along with his signature rave/club anthems “Your Love” and “Let’s Go Ravers.” T&A label owners Tittsworth and Ayres provide remix support; Tittsworth injects dark synths and stabs into “Round House” and DJ Ayres takes “The Chase” into tech-house territory. Rounding out the EP is Rampage (Ghetto Division)’s mix of The Chase, bringing even more energy to the rave banger.

Dave Nada invented Moombahton (pronounced Moom-buh-tone) at his little cousin’s house party when he slowed an Afrojack remix down to 108 beats per minute. Since then, he’s been making reggaeton-tempo edits of Dutch house and tropical house, and clubs have been going crazy for the stuff. By popular demand, we give you five Moombahton edits for free!

Our good friends and die-hard Van City representers, Matty C & Neoteric, just posted the mix I did for their White Light mix series. I’m heading up that way to rock with Neoteric on Saturday & to close out the 2010 Olympics on Sunday, with similar pomp & circumstance to how Ayres & Cosmo rang it in I’m sure. So the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Click down below to grab my mix. And make sure you explore the other mixes in the series. They are all great!
