Boy, this month we bring in a true heavyweight in Harlem’s own Boogie Blind.
“We’ve played a bunch of parties with Boogie Blind over the years but this is his first time rocking our residency at the Bell House. As the protege of Roc Raida (RIP) and youngest member of the X-Ecutioners, he won the 2001 Vestax world championship and has been representing Harlem all over the world ever since, as Pharoah Monch’s tour DJ, and he’s a bad ass club DJ to boot.
If this doesn’t put a smile on your face, I don’t know what will: Boogie Blind’s tribute to Roc Raida, 2009″ – DJ Ayres
Here is a recent rehearsal mix from Blind, all 45s!
We could post videos of his routines all day, but here is his award winning routine in the 2001 Vestax World Championships:

Boston, represent! While we here in Brooklyn might not agree with you on baseball teams (Red Sox Suck!), one thing we know is that Boston always has a crop of incredible DJ’s. One of them is our guy DJ Knife.
“Every time we make it up to Boston, it’s a pleasure to get to rock with DJ Knife. A great DJ and an always hilarious dude to party with, Knife has been throwing Fresh Produce with DJ Tommee for about as long as we can remember. He just dropped the latest volume of his Strange Brew mix series. Scroll down to grab it and the first two volumes.” – DJ Eleven
We’re stoked every time he sends us a mix. They’re always terrific and make you wonder “Where the hell did he get that remix from?”
This one is hot off the presses:
Strange Bew Vol. 2:
Strange Brew Vol. 1

This month we bring our talented pal Samplology back to The Rub. He originally played with us 2 years ago at Southpaw and was absolutely incredible. When we heard he was on a US/Canada tour, we knew we had to bring him back!
Hailing from Australia, Sampology has been a regular on the festival circuits for years now, bringing a style that blends audio and visual components together to really make him stand out from his peers. He’s a terrific turntablist who is always very clever with his transitions. His live show “Super Visual” is a combination of music and live video and is a real show-stopper. He’s also releasing an album shortly this month so we’re happy to have him come celebrate with us.
When we say he plays a huge live audio/visual show at festivals, this is what we mean:
He has a ton of mixes available on his website, but his Parliament Funkadelic mix is a great starting point for you:
He has an official remix just released for the artist Twinsy that you can download for free below:
Make sure you guys stay in touch with Sampology through his TWITTER and FACEBOOK accounts.

We’re geeked for our special guest this month as we bring out our dude DJ Parler!
“The homie DJ Parler grinds! Parler (pronounced par-lay) is a D.C. native, music industry vet (having worked in Artist Development at Universal/ Geffen Records & KOCH Records), tour DJ for Donnis & Kidz In The Hall, resident DJ at Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival and the Donuts Are Forever party, and owner of Up To Par Audio (www.uptoparaudio.com). His live sets never fail to destroy crowds, and he’s pretty much the nicest dude you’ll ever meet.” – DJ Eleven
He’s been at the head of the class when it comes to mixes for quite some time, so if you are unfamiliar with his work, take a dip into this mix “Where’s the Love” and you’re set. High quality stuff!
He’s probably most well-known for his SAMPLOLOGY Mixtape series that truly are some of the comprehensive mixtapes you’ll find. Started up in 2007, his Notorious B.I.G, J Dilla, and Nina Simone chapters are incredible listens all the way through. Luckily, he has them ALL available for a free download on his WEBSITE.
You can keep up with Parler on TWITTER and FACEBOOK.
