Big shout out to Queen Majesty and DJ Marvel. Look out for our NYE announcement coming soon!
FOTR: Queen Majesty
Posted: November 25, 2014 Filed under: Friends of The Rub | Tags: deadly dragon sound, friends of the rub, queen majesty nyc
Queen Majesty has been one of our closest homies for a long time. Her involvement with Deadly Dragon Sound in New York’s Reggae world is unquestionable and her knowledge in the genre is untouchable.
With her long running radio show on East Village Radio recently coming to an end (RIP EVR), her focus has turned towards her amazing hot sauces and now legendary club night, Downtown Top Ranking.
We are stoked to have Queen Majesty joining us this Saturday at The Rub. She will be rocking the front room with another FOTR, DJ Marvel, from Canadia. Until then get a ginger beer, roll one up, and listen to a mix she did a few months back for The Good Life.
Stay Up With Queen Majesty
FOTR: Misun

We go way back with Misun: their “The Sea” EP was released on Ayres & Tittsworth’s T&A records, and The Rub collaborated with them on the awesome “Feel You”. We’re really stoked on their debut album, which just came out this week!. They cover a ton of styles, from rock to pop, R&B to western without sounding inauthentic or stagey, and the songwriting is confident and fun.

FOTR: Theo Bark

Theo Bark (aka Wise King T, aka Bad Barks, aka the bald white guy with a beard on the left in the picture) has been a friend of The Rub since we were working with Spitkicker. In fact, Theo A&R’ed this mix that Eleven did with Spitkicker and MF Doom:
DJ Eleven & MF Doom – Next Spit 3 by Djeleven on Mixcloud
In the years since, Theo made some great music videos for Jazzy Jeff & Peedi Crack, Marco Polo & Masta Ace, and Hezekiah & Bilal. He’s also become one of the most hilarious and perceptive people writing about music.
Take the rest of the afternoon off and catch up on Theo’s observations about music festivals at The Huffington Post, Thump, and Animal New York. (His piece on attending HARD Summer sober is particularly great.) Also, you can watch him interviewing a gazillion up-and-coming artists over at Huff Post Live.
FOTR: Jubilee & DJ Lindsey
Posted: October 23, 2014 Filed under: Friends of The Rub | Tags: DJ Lindsey, fotr, friends of the rub, jubilee
Our friends Jubilee and Dj Lindsey have been on fire as of late… well, they keep a steady flame under New York it seems and we are stoked to have them as this month’s guests for the Halloween shake down at The Rub!
Jubilee recently contributed to the long list of Fact Mag DJs with her rad mix. The mix opens up with her latest remix for Sam Tiba, cooked up with fellow Brooklyn Bass gawd Burt Fox.
Jubilee’s Fact Mix 461 is hot fyah
Check out Jubilee’s collabo remix with Burt Fox for Sam Tiba
Lindsey apparently got her heart broken recently while trying out to be Pharrell’s DJ, but that didn’t stop her from putting out this incredible mixtape featuring some of latest R&B that may or may not be from the future.
The Good Good by DJ Lindsey
Catch both of them this weekend at The Rub’s Halloween extravaganza!!!
If Ian Curtis was alive to see this he prolly would hang himself again. Nah, I’m good.
FOTR: Dave Nada & Jen Lasher
Posted: October 5, 2014 Filed under: Friends of The Rub | Tags: dava nada, dj mixes, jen lasher, love in this jersey clubLongtime homie Dave Nada and wife Jen Lasher made love in the club…. while what you’re thinking is prolly true, I’m talking about their new mixtape ‘Love In This Jersey Club’ for Mad Decent Radio. The mix celebrates the sexier side of Jersey Club and the duo run through some of the bigger remixes from the last couple of years from Nadus, Sliink, Hoodboi, Cashmere Cat, Tameil & more. Shit is banging.
Dave also made love to himself in the club once a few years ago, ‘Love In This Bmore Club‘
