FOTR: DJ Sure Shot
Posted: October 27, 2015 Filed under: Friends of The Rub | Tags: DJ Sure Shot, fotr
#FOTR this week is DJ Sure Shot, a longtime homie and collaborator. He’s been holding down NY for a decade plus on the club and private event circuit and is easily one of our favorite DJ’s in the city. Notorious for his open format deftness and ear for the right track and mix at the right time, he’s received official nods from the likes of Diplo, Mark Ronson and Nick Catchdubs…who called Sure Shot’s “Heavy Warmup 4” set below his “favorite mix of the year” in 2011. Click some links, peep this great Neptunes tribute mix and make sure to join us at the Bell House Saturday for our annual Halloween jump off.

FOTR: Four Color Zack & Hedspin
Posted: October 7, 2015 Filed under: Friends of The Rub | Tags: fotr, Four Color Zack, Hedpsin
We mentioned these two former Thre3style World Champions a couple weeks back as the latest World Finals were being held in Tokyo. Now we finally get to see these two shred Verboten on 4 decks this Friday night. Both DJs have been FOTR’s (Friends of The Rub) for some time now and to have them in the same room throwing down together for The Rub has us on special level of being geeked. Peep a couple of recent mixes from these dudes and link up with them on the socials. And definitely don’t miss the festivities this Friday at Verboten.

Rubble Kings – The Mixtape
Posted: October 1, 2015 Filed under: Friends of The Rub | Tags: Rubble Kings
In case you missed it, Rubble Kings is a recently released documentary about the war torn gang era of NY from 1968 to 1975 that was fueled by failing race relations and an overall “unfocused rage”. The movie focused on the events during this time period that broke down these walls and ultimately gave birth to hip-hop culture. Just this week saw the release of Rubble Kings – The Mixtape which effortlessly showcases the amazingly powerful music of this time period from all walks of life. Director Shan Nicholson enlisted the help of additional Rub homies Sammy Needlz, Rok One and DJ Tahleim to put this amazing project together and give this documentary a proper soundtrack. Listen to and download this fantastic mix below.
