#TBT – DJ Eleven – Live From The Do-Over 8/11/13



TBT this week is an hour and a half of incredibly funky music from DJ Eleven Live at The Do-Over LA in August of 2013. Easily one of the most famous parties on the planet, Eleven brought it like he always does. Classics and new bangers from that Summer pepper this mix in a relenting assault. Stream in full above and let warm weather vibes give you a hug on this Thursday in November.

Rub Radio November: Prince Klassen



You already know Prince Klassen as our resident opening DJ for the last few years, so you should be no stranger to his impeccable taste and ninja dj skills. This month he takes over Rub Radio, and much like his sets at The Bell House, this is both a musicology lesson and a sensual treat; a journey for your ears and your ass.

TBT today to our History of Hip-Hop Mix from 1997. This year is easily identified as a cornerstone year of golden era hip-hop. Some of the greats laid down some bonafied classics in this 12 month period and they are clearly represented in this mix. Biggie flexed with the release of “Life After Death” right after he was lost to a senseless murder. Wu Tang returned with their second full length as fans went full blown nutso. Gang Starr dropped another classic LP. Master P solidified a full blown No Limit movement with the release of “Ghetto D”. Mase, MF Doom, The Beatnuts, Redman and more solidified their place in the scene with top shelf tunes as well. Check the mix in full below by stream or download.

11.7 – That New New



TNN is back this week for the first Monday in November (jeezus it’s November already) and as always, there’s some cool new music to share. In what feels like a bit of a warm up week leading up to the 4th quarter impending rush of new releases, we’ve got a handful of noteworthy things to tied us over. First up is a new one from two of the biggest stars on the planet in Future and Drake. They toured together a good portion of the year and it’s a surprise to no one that they release more music together. Second, we’ve got a new one from Ninja Tune mainstay Bonobo who’s got a new album dropping right around the corner. This first single and video is a great first taste. Finally, we’ve got a full EP drop from Sluggers on Fool’s Gold, one of the more interesting names in currently in weird and banging house music. Check out all 3 releases below.
