1 Week Away!



Getting closer and closer to party time everybody!!! Come see our new digs and close out April with a sweaty good time.


Our pal Mick Boogie is already well-known for putting out really solid mixtapes over the years, but the one he dropped today is getting tons of attention. “The Grand Royal Mixtape” is an extensive mix from the Beastie Boy catalog and absolutely worth a listen. The back story on the cover of this mix is also quite cool to read about, as he and photographer Jonathan Mannion worked together to recreate the Paul’s Boutique cover.

Happy 4/20 – Devin The Dude



While we know many of you guys are celebrating the unofficial holiday of 4/20, we figured we should help y’all out by giving you the perfect soundtrack for all your festivities today.

Honestly, what better artist to listen to on 4/20 than Devin the Dude? Thanks to DJ Eleven’s hour-long “Eleven & The Dude mix,” we got you taken care of quite right. Tracklist after the jump.

“Friends of the Rub” continues this week with a friend that is near and dear to our Rub family, Sammy Bananas.

Sam has been one busy guy this year with multiple projects under his belt. Last week, he put out a new track “La Musica” that we’re big fans of and is available for free download. Grab it below!

Can’t forget to mention his Young Jeezy “I Do” bootleg, which has been a staple in DJ sets all over the festivals the past few months. Such an addictive tune! Also available for free download below:

He also has been working on a very noteworthy cause called “DJ’s for Climate Change.” He’s put in a ton of his personal time to make a difference, and this past year was his biggest ever. Read more about his cause: DJ’s for Climate Change

Full support from us for this endeavor.

Big congrats to Sammy on getting engaged this year as well! Sorry ladies, you’ll have to try and find another mustache out there. This one’s taken.

The Bell House Residency begins April 28th



After a fantastic housewarming party in March, it’s time we get down to business and start our monthly residency at The Bell House on the last Saturday of every month.

Mark your calendars and join us on Saturday, April 28th.


Our next installment of “Friends of The Rub” showcases a really unique live project by Vancouver DJ team The Freshest (comprised of DJ’s Seko, Marvel, Kutcorners, and Rico Uno). The duo of DJ Marvel and Kutcorners absolutely crush it here with a mix of R&B/Rap tricked out with some dirty synths and keys, all played live. They make this look far too easy!

Keep in touch with The Freshest by checking out their website as well as their Twitter timeline.


This week, we start up our new bi-weekly series “Friends of the Rub” as our way of keeping you in the loop with our favorite artists and colleagues. Can’t think of a better way to get this going than with our good buddy Matthew Africa and his latest release “Yay Game: The Best of E-40.”

After an amazing run at Southpaw, we were all excited to get our foot in the door and start a brand new era at our new home The Bell House.

The night was a smashing success.  We thank you all for coming out to celebrate and support us in our new digs.  The place was packed and our guests all brought their ‘A’ game.  It was such an honor to have Max Glazer, DJ Sure Shot, Scott Melker, and Kool Kear rock with us and they did not disappoint.

Reminder – We will be back the last Saturday of every month starting on April 28th!

Scott Melker Edit – Lana Del Ray vs Jay-Z



Extended Rub family member and featured guest tonight, Scott Melker, brings us a big big track giveway today of a new edit he has made.

We’ve worked with Scott Melker for years, as he has guested at the Rub numerous times, toured with Rub members, and even collaborated on mixes with us as well. He’s one of New York’s top DJ’s that fits in with our mentality perfectly.

We are ecstatic to have him play with us tonight and even more gratified to offer you his new remix:
