Between Prince Klassen and our special guest from Dallas, Texas is taking over The Rub this Saturday!
Coming off a packed SXSW schedule and tour stops in DC, Philly, Pittsburg and Boston (where he rocked with the homie DJ Knife to celebrate the release of “Strange Brew 4“), DJ Sober is fittingly wrapping up his tour of the Northeast as our guest at this month’s Rub.
When dude’s not putting together great mixes or smashing parties all over Texas, he’s making dope original music with PICNICTYME, his partner in Booty Fade. Check out their recent EP here:

Yup. It’s Mixtape Monday–New Year’s Edition! Q: What makes this monday different from all other mondays? A: You don’t need a stack of the newest and true-est mixtapes to get you through the grumpiest day of the workweek with your sanity intact. You need that one ultimate Mother Of All Mixtapes to provide the soundtrack to your New Year’s Eve loft party. Or romantic NYE for two on a beach in Bali. Or meditating on top of a Mayan pyramid in Tulum waiting for the sun to rise on Quintana Roo. Or trying to keep your sanity intact while you watch the ball drop on a TV in your step-parent’s rec room in Blawnox, Pennsylvania. Or WHATEVER craziness you are planning to get into at 12 midnight, December 31st, 2013.
That’s why we have foregone the usual Mixtape Monday format and teamed up with DJ Ayres and DJ Eleven–collectively known as The Rub and known to be the residents of what may be New York City’s purest dance-party party (it’s called The Rub). Don’t nobody want you to show off your obscure library records when the ball is fittin’ to drop on 12 midnight, and Ayres and Eleven kept it true to form and eschewed music show-offery for a pure selection of the year’s bangers from Drake to Disclosure to their own productions with dancehall queen (and shameless Larger Upper) Natalie Storm, all mixed in the signature Rub style. Plus they threw in a little Prince for the annoying music nerds hanging around the DJ booth to make requests (hi, that’s us). Without further ado, Okayplayer presents The Rub’s official New Year’s Eve Mixtape, 2013. Press play to enjoy below–and look for the free download to drop like a glowing crystal orb sometime between now and midnight tomorrow! Happy New Year.

Tracklist after the jump
“Longtime FADER readers and marginally aware New Yorkers are no doubt familiar with The Rub, the legendary Brooklyn party now in its second decade. (Next one is June 29th at the Bell House.) With umpteen mixtapes under their belts, DJ Ayres and DJ Eleven released the first ever original The Rub EP this week. Buy it on iTunes, download their celebratory FADER mix and then read an interview with the pair, including DJ Ayres’ deft, preliminary analysis of Yeezus as Kanye’s becoming-a-dad album and DJ Eleven’s best breakfast recipe.”

Special Guest: The Freshest from Canada (We got all 4 of em!)
We all know that Thanksgiving Eve is one of the best party nights of the year, especially for those who live in New York and do not leave New York. The city clears out, nobody has to work in the morning, and we all wake up knowing we’re going to eat all-day long on Thanksgiving. Basically we are all some grown adults feeling a little like Ferris Bueller as we go out tonight.
Well, the best part of all of this is that we are throwing a huge party tonight with our good pals and party rockers, The Freedom Party. These guys throw an incredible weekly party at Le Poisson Rouge that fits The Rub-mantra perfectly. We have thrown a couple dual parties before and they always pop off. We suggest you put your party hat on and get out to Brooklyn early for what’s going to be the best party in New York City tonight.
Public Assembly
70 N. 6th St (Williamsburg, Brooklyn)
10pm-4am
$10 before midnight
$15 after
Here is a video recording from the last Freedom party to get you in the mood for tonight
Another year and another batch of incredible Halloween costumes at The Rub Halloween party. Thanks to all of ya’ll who came out to celebrate with us. There was something really special about the energy of the night, and boy, did shit get real in NYC less than 48 hours later. We hope all of our friends and Rub family are holding up well during the aftermath of such a storm. Enjoy the photos below, all taken by our good friend Kenny Rodriguez.
