New music out this week from our guy DJ Eleven as he teams up with Mike Baker the Bike Maker for The Provocateurs EP. Released on 11 inch records, this album features 11 tracks filled with tight beats and very clever rhymes. This is feel good Bay area hip hop at it’s finest. We’re proud of our dude Eleven for this one!
You can buy this release at any of the following digital retailers: iTunes, Beatport, Amazon, and Juno. If you’re an MC out there, make sure you cop the instrumentals for each track, also available.
Maybe the best part of this release is the fantastic video the fellas made for the lead single “Mike Check.” Bonus points to you if you know the films this video references!
We’ve known Four Color Zack for quite some time now, so it’s no secret to us he is a world-class talent as a DJ and an in-demand designer. His DJ sets have always made our eyeballs pop out, but this summer has been his coming out party on the big stage. Recently, he participated and WON the Red Bull Thre3Style US National Finals against a stacked crew of DJ’s. His final routine, available below for a listen, is just incredible. His mix out of the house anthem “(I Wanna Give You) Devotion” into Young Joc’s “It’s Going Down” into “Tequila” is nothing short of remarkable. How in the world did he come up with that? He’ll be heading to Chicago at the end of the month to play for the Red Bull Thre3Style World Championship.
Last week, he recently released a new mix for Kicks Hawaii called Weekday Warrior Part 3. It’s a great blend of old and new music that really demonstrates his versatility and tastes, not to mention his blending ability.
You can download a recent live set of his recorded during his residency at the Fortune Sound Club from August 17th HERE.
And we can’t forget about one of our personal favorites of his from a few years back. How about a 30 minute mixtape consisting of only songs by The Dream? This still gets constant rotation for us. It’s that good!
Make sure you stay up to speed on one of the best of the best by following him on Twitter
We wish him all the best at the World Finals this month in Chicago!
Throwing a popular party like The Rub in New York City for 10 years strong will always be a defining accomplishment of DJ Eleven’s resume, but how about his astounding catalog of mixes he has put together over the years? Luckily for you, he has compiled an all in one site so you can grab up to FORTY-THREE mixes he has worked on during his time so far with The Rub.
This is days worth of content and material for your listening pleasure. All mixes are available for both streaming and downloading.
Our featured guest this Saturday, Jasmine Solano, is a New York city tour-de-force. As versatile as they come, we’ve seen Jasmine rise to the level of a prominent DJ, rapper, and streetwear model. A fixture in NYC nightlife, Jasmine really has carved out a niche all to her own. We first heard about her as she played and toured with rap duo Ninjasonik back in 2009. Since then, she has traveled as Wiz Khalifa’s DJ, opened Rock The Bells, was featured in Rocawear’s 2011 campaign, and released multiple solo tracks of her own. This week, she drops her new EP “Rap” featuring a collaboration with Yelawolf and tracks produced by DJ Wonder, Brenmar, and DJ Fresh Direct. We’re digging her sound quite a bit and are thrilled to have her play Saturday night with us.

She recently released a new video for the single “Cruisin” which you can watch below:
If you’re new to Jasmine’s career, here is the track that started it all, her catchy 2010 anthem “That’s Not It.”
Come check out one of the true rising stars this Saturday at The Bell House. Doors Open at 10pm so get there early!

Our 10th year anniversary was everything we could have wanted it to be. Just Blaze and Mike the Gaff were our special guests on a night that saw record crowds at The Bell House. It was DJ Ayres’ birthday to top it off and his birthday cake was pretty much the greatest thing ever. The crowd in the front room was treated to not one but two sets from Just Blaze, as he mixed from one classic he produced to another. It really was sing-a-long hour as one of the great producers of our time got down and sweaty with us. Rahnon looked beautiful as ever holding down the door, as she has for the past 10 years now. It was a real family feeling all night. We thank everyone for coming out and celebrating an anniversary that still seems surreal. 10 years and counting!!!
Big shout to Kenny Rodriguez for taking the pics for us. Check out the photo album HERE
