FOTR this week is DJ Sober out of Ft. Worth, TX. He’s also our special guest for our 14 year anniversary party this Saturday at The Bell House. Sober has been steady carving his name out in the Lone Star state for years and it’s safe to say the scene wouldn’t be what it is without him. He’s been part of long running parties such as “The Party” and “Big Bang!” and made a name for himself spinning major sporting events and traveling all over the country. He’s coming to NY to rock the front room this Saturday to celebrate this special night with us. Check out his Satin Sheets Vol. 5 from earlier this year and make sure you catch his set Saturday night as we ring in year 14.

FOTR this week is Doc Adam. This staple of the Pacific Northwest, whether he’s in Seattle or Portland as he seems to migrate between the two, has been around since the Hollerboard days and is still holding court to this day. He’s always playing various different types of parties and rocking numerous styles, something that can be attested to his diverse musical palate. He’s also been a consistent contributor to the DJ edit game over the years. If you ever grabbed any of those edit packs on his Tumblr back in the day, consider yourself lucky to be sitting on that DJ weapon gold. As of late, he’s been steady updating his Heartthis.at page (RIP Doc’s Soundcloud) with new and old edits that are all freely downloadable. He just threw up a bunch of new ones earlier this month and you can peep a small selection below. Click some of those socials and give this dude a follow as well.

FOTR this week is the 143 collective out of LA. Founders Siik, SOSUPERSAM and Partytime created the party in 2013 in effort to create a space for LA folks to hang out and listen to/vibe to their favorite slow jams. Within months of starting up, 143 was packing out dive bars and venues and had ultimately become a big success. Over the past 3 years and change, they’ve had live guests like Ashanti & Ja Rule, Ginuwine, Sisqo and Jon B and guest djs like A-Trak, DJ Wonder, Gaslamp Killer, Questlove, Joe Kay, Jubilee, Mr. Carmack and so many more. The party has hit the road before and they return to NY this coming weekend in a collab event with The Rub out at Coney Island. Check out some videos and links from the 143 crew below as well as details for Saturday’s upcoming event.

FOTR this week is our good bud Steve1der. He’s been a fixture in LA for well over a decade whether on the DJ or remixer tip and is highly influential in both realms with working DJs all over the world. He’s always been one of those working DJ heads that actually has his ear to the ground for new sounds and has a knack for helping break dope records and plays them in way where they resonate with the listener. This Saturday, he returns to BK for his 2nd trip to The Rub and we’re super stoked to have him back in the building. He also provided our guest mix for Rub Radio this month, which you can peep below as well as keeping up with all his socials. And make sure to not miss his set Saturday night at The Bell House!

FOTR this week is the Night Bass don AC Slater. He’s been putting wobbles in house music long before bass house (or EDM for that matter) was a buzz word and continues to slang it all in multiple ways in 2016. Between his Night Bass label, his own production output and being a constant ambassador for the scene, AC Slater works as hard as anyone for the sound and vibe he’s helped cultivate from the ground up. Yesterday saw the release of his latest solo EP “Bass Inside” on OWSLA. The video for the title track and stream for the collaboration with fellow low end house figurehead, Chris Lorenzo, are below. Check em out and click some links to stay in the loop with AC.

FOTR this week is BK’s own DJ Spinna. As one of the biggest purveyors of all things good music on the DJ/party circuit, Spinna continues to leave his lasting impression whenever and wherever he plays. He’s also an extremely accomplished producer with a very impressive discography spread out over years of releasing music and mixes with labels like BBE, Rawkus, Nite Grooves and many others. He’s carved out a name for himself in recent years as well doing tribute nights for the likes of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and the recently deceased Prince. In honor of Prince, his birthday and his recently named “Prince Day” in his native Minnesota, Spinna will be at Good Room in BK tonight for a celebration of Prince’s life and legacy. Check that out if you’re in the area and check out a recent (almost) 3 hour marathon set from the man below.

FOTR this week is Jubilee. We’ve featured her in this column before and we’re giving this Miami born/NY based dj/producer and curator another nod because she’s just dropped Part 2 of her Magic City compilation series. This musical homage to Miami is layered with all sorts of influences and genres and features the likes of Salva, Ape Drums, Addison Groove and L-Vis 1990, among many others. Ayres personal chimed in on this comp to say he likes LouisVExclusive’s “Dab Daddy” best, as it sounds like the Miami Bass side of T&A Breaks 1 thrown in a blender. And Strict Face’s “Skyway Condo” is a really pretty to end the comp – we used it to close out Rub Radio in May! Stream Magic CityII in full below or grab the DOWNLOAD.

FOTR this week again is Austin’s DJ Mel, as he’s our guest for The Rub at The Bell House this Saturday. As mentioned before, Mel’s pretty much the man in Austin, TX. Whether it’s been his Rock The Casbah 80’s themed special events, his insanely long running weekly Monday party at Nasty’s or being the official DJ for University of Texas Longhorns basketball, he’s always steady on the grind. What’s brought him to a national stage in recent years is his work DJing events for President Obama in the past and now for Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Check out Mel’s slick recent Phife/A Tribe Called Quest tribute mix and all the links to his socials below.

FOTR this week is Fool’s Gold co-founder and globetrotting DJ, A-Trak. He’s one of the most influential DJs on the planet and continues to rep for real djs and creatives in everything he does. He’s been a long time friend of The Rub and should really be no stranger to you at this point. It’s crazy to think it’s been almost 20 years since he made history as the youngest DMC winner ever, a record he still holds to this day. In 2016, you can catch A-Trak running all over the world festival circuit and continuing to push his growing arsenal of original productions. His latest tune featuring Phantogram recently went up for streaming and is officially released this coming Friday. Peep it below and follow this “United Hairline” on his socials if you aren’t already.
And hard to believe this is almost two decades old but it’s always worth noting where it all started…
