TBT this week takes a look back to May of 2013 with that month’s edition of Rub Radio from 3 years ago. First glimpse at this tracklist is like “wow are these tracks really 3 years old already?”. But it’s true as Disclosure and Duke Dumont were just getting their feet planted on the global scene, Flosstradamus was just beginning to get a second life from the EDM trap explosion and it was really just an interesting thing at the time that “Blurred Lines” felt a similar vibe to “Got To Give It Up” before lawsuits in regards to the likeness were even a thing. Lots of fire in this mix though and some tracks that have really stood the test of time as there are some long term staples in here for sure.

#TBT today to Rub Radio’s April edition from three years ago and reminisce what the summer of 2013 sounded like. You’ve got the eventual #1 record in the country in Daft Punk and Pharrell’s “Get Lucky” which went on to dominate the Grammies in February of 2014. Major Lazer’s “Bumaye”, which was a glimpse into their potential global appeal and is still a record that slams in the club. James Blake’s “Retrograde” rounded out the mix and hinted at an album forthcoming that was going solidify him as a voice of the decade. Lots of other notables in here like Rustie, Lil Wayne, Big Sean and more. Revisit in full below!

#TBT – The Rub – History of Hip-Hop 2006
Posted: March 31, 2016 Filed under: History of Hip-Hop, TBT | Tags: History Of Hip-Hop, TBT, the rub
#TBT this week is the History of Hip-Hop mix from 2006. It’s truly hard to believe these tracks are 10 years old at this point since so many of them still get heavy rotation in so many DJ sets. Forever anthems in here from Rick Ross, T.I., Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, E-40, Clipse and many more. It’s arguable that some of these rappers became icons with their hit tunes from 2006. Either way you feel on that, fact is this mix is loaded with 10 year old fire tunes and well worth the revisit below.

TBT this week is the History of Hip-Hop mix for we did for 1986. It’s crazy to think this mix now references music that’s three decades old.

#TBT – DJ Ayres – 80’s Re:Union Mix
Posted: March 10, 2016 Filed under: DJ Ayres, TBT | Tags: DJ Ayres, TBT
TBT this week takes us back to the sounds of the 1980’s with a killer mix from DJ Ayres. This 80’s Re:Union Mix is a deft mix of New Wave, Post Punk, Alternative and Dance music from so many favorite artists and tunes from the time period. With so much of this music approaching the 40 year old mark, it’s safe to say most of this tracklist falls into the bonafide “classics” category at this point. Madonna, David Bowie, Prince, Donna Summer, The Cure and so many other great artists are featured here. Revisit this mix below and get your 80’s fix on in a major way
