The Rub’s Best of New York Mix
By Raspberry Jones
Distance—or lack thereof. It helps narrate the eight million stories of New York’s organized chaos flow. What qualifies as an invasion of privacy elsewhere, is a New Yorker’s way of saying, “excuse me.” The roars of a crowded life: Learn to exist atop one another, yet figure out how to live on your own. Make sure to cherish personal space, thoughts, experiences—but don’t get precious about sharing them on every street-corner, rush-hour subway, or club dance-floor. To survive, keep the things you love close and protect them; though don’t forget to brandish them sharply when expressing your individuality. Especially, when expressing your individuality amongst your people.
Inevitably, your people will have an anthem, a rallying call. His and her people will too. Most New Yorkers do. “Their” song or “their” artist, one long ago taken stock of, and never the twain shall part. Getting your own isn’t hard—it’s a town built on music. There are as many personal anthems in this city as there are clubs, and as many clubs as posses, each at a conscious arm’s length from the next—different neighborhoods, different strokes, and so on. Separate but equal, they sometimes call it—which is, frankly, bullshit—but it does offer an educated musical consumer a limitless choice of which rally to call his/her own.
Though on occasion, they all rally together. Arm-lengths shorten, the separation falls away, yours and theirs becomes ours—and the city sings with one voice, dances on the same beat. This pretense of musical U-N-I-T-Y mostly lasts no longer than a New York minute, an oasis. Yet when it does come around, the city transforms into that mythical place you read of in books, the one you were moving to. This one song engulfs your every move. Your local DJ sets off the dance-floor with it. The midnight jeep boys blast it, keeping you awake. The Garden blares it during time-outs—and maybe some jock choreographs a dance to it. Now the bartenders, the baristas, even the bros. It grows tiring. The oasis dissolves. Though its memory remains, residue retained on the tip of your tongue and on your breath, stuck in your ear forever.
The New York Anthem is a category. Look it up! Impervious to distance—or lack thereof—folding time and space, triggering memory, defining careers. Ask Frank or Liza—or O.C. Each generation gets the one(s) it deserves. Not a sentimental journey, but utilitarian in its emotional and rhythmic output. Just like the city that it serves.

#TBT The Rub – Under The Boardwalk
Posted: August 6, 2015 Filed under: TBT, The Rub | Tags: TBT, the rub
For #TBT this week in the most literal sense possible, we revisit the Rub Radio mix, Under The Boardwalk, from last summer. To be completely honest, this mix contains some of the most classic songs ever made and Ayres and Eleven put it together last year as an official send off to summer. While it seems that summer is still going strong, kids are getting ready for their return to school and pumpkin spice season is coming way sooner than you might expect. There’s nothing on this mix released after 1968 just to give you a perspective on how timeless this music really is. Revisit this tasty summer send off below.

Now that Man Trance is officially a thing and this week’s #TNN artist, Ten Walls already has a couple of these MT anthems under his belt…it’s exciting to hear new potential summer weaponry from him. He dropped “Sparta” back on the first of the month and it feels like he’s got another big one on his hands. The booming layered horn melody is kind of everything and the entire groove of the track is quite slick and engaging. The two sided single is on sale now at all your normal interweb places where you purchase dance music but you can stream the title track in full below.
