Quick look back to just two years ago with today’s #TBT of the January 2013 edition of Rub Radio. Always interesting to look at these and see what was cracking, or on the verge of, back then. Full stream and direct download are below for the essential revisit.

#TBT today is simple and there’s not a lot to say about this killer mix from Ayres other than it’s so much choice Nas catalog and Ayres is on the controls for 53 mins and change. New upload due to a special request so it only made sense to share it again. Stream and download are both available below.

TBT: History of Hip-Hop 1998 (Mixed by DJ Ayres)
Posted: December 3, 2015 Filed under: TBT | Tags: DJ Ayres, TBT
#TBT today has us looking back at 1998 and what an interesting year for hip-hop that was. Immediately post Biggie and 2Pac murders, it was invigorating to see (and hear) so many great tracks seemingly inspired by the void those two legends left behind. Or maybe all of this music was slotted for ’98 anyways and it was mere coincidence timeline wise. Who knows. Whatever the case may be, so many anthems and crew bangers dropped this year and a ton of it is mixed to perfection here by DJ Ayres as part of the History of Hip-Hop mix series. Stream and download are below.

Rub Radio – Luv U Better Mix by Brooklyn Radio on Mixcloud
While this was originally released a couple years ago as a Valentine’s Day themed mix, the stress of the recent political climate and flood of opinions on social media made love seem like something very important was being overtly ignored. Enter today’s #TBT mix in this Luv U Better Mix for THUMP that’s loaded with so much amazing late 90’s and early 00’s R&B bangers, it should immediately improve your mood. Guessing you’ll be reminiscing quite heavy as well…

#TBT The Rub – Hip Hop History 2002 Mix
Posted: September 17, 2015 Filed under: TBT | Tags: DJ Eleven, TBT, the rub
The Rub’s History of Hip Hop series was an extremely ambitious mixtape project to take on but like always, these mixtapes are curated and mixed with absolute precision. Of course, leave the 2002 version of this series to be one of my favorites and it’s our #TBT mix for the week. Seriously though, 2002 was an amazing year for rap with Cam’ron’s Rocafella debut, Clipse flipping everyone on their ear with their first officially released LP, Scarface dropped a classic in The Fix and so many of the big party cuts became instant classics. Revisit this stellar mix with a stream or a download below.

#TBT DJ Ayres – DJ Ayres’s Laboratory
Posted: August 20, 2015 Filed under: DJ Ayres, TBT | Tags: TBT, the rub
So in 2012, Ayres dropped a nice little series of mixes with the insanely talented Mike 2600 designing all the cover art. For today’s #TBT we revisit the DJ Ayres’s Laboratory set that’s loaded with catchy indie dance tunes, remixed pop gems and some tastefully turnt levels towards the end. Ace as always. Stream and download this one below.

#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.
