I’ve decided to throw a classic mixtape on my web log every Thursday, and I needed a truly original name for the series, so I came up with Throwback Thursdays.  I hope the name isn’t taken!

This is one I did for The Rub History of Hip-Hop series, and it just landed in the top ten Best of Mixcloud 2012, even though I mixed it in 2008 and the music is all from 1993.  So it’s like wearing a throwback over another throwback.  Way back!  Back into time.

I was 17 in 1993 and I have very fond memories of driving around in a Chrysler listening to tapes by the Beatnuts, Alkoholiks, Tribe Called Quest, Das EFX, Ice Cube, etc etc.  TBH I feel like Hip-Hop History 1994 was a stronger mix, but 1993 has way more streams, so I assume somebody famous tweeted about it or something.  But the entire History of Hip-Hop series is awesome, with one mix per year from 1979-2009 mixed by Cosmo, Eleven or me, and can be found here and here.

Close your eyes and picture the cast of Hee-Haw at a massive rave – “Good People” is the soundtrack, a rollicking banjo banger. This release marks the second outing on T&A for both the Smalltown DJs and Grandtheft, following up Loving The Vibe and Gangsta Musik / Splash, respectively. Early support from Soggy Bottom Boys, the Duke Brothers, Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel, Barney Fife and Jeff Foxworthy.

The Good People EP comes out on January 8, 2013, with remixes from XXXChange and Nacey. XXXChange’s remix is hard as fuck, while Nacey’s is deeper and more melodic. The B-side, Stuck Here, is a tech-house floor-filler with an equally irresistible hook. The Good People tour is currently rampaging across Canada.

Smalltown DJs & Grandtheft – Good People  Full EP coming January 8.

DJ Eleven’s Last Beat Remixes EP comes out November 27 on iTunes etc.

Another year and another batch of incredible Halloween costumes at The Rub Halloween party. Thanks to all of ya’ll who came out to celebrate with us. There was something really special about the energy of the night, and boy, did shit get real in NYC less than 48 hours later. We hope all of our friends and Rub family are holding up well during the aftermath of such a storm. Enjoy the photos below, all taken by our good friend Kenny Rodriguez.

NEW RUB RADIO! 

COSTUMES MANDATORY!
