My Dad's New New Mixtape

My dad is always writing down playlists and new songs in his notebook. Then when he has about 100 or so compiled he will usually narrow them down to fit on one mix. Then he puts them on his ipod and it becomes the soundtrack to his life for a while. This is the latest playlist, and this time he got our good buddy & dj Ivan Rankic to help him out and string them together into a continuous mix. The result is pretty awesome.

The Rub & Smalltown Djs Tour Video & Mix

Last month we went across the country with Ayres & Cosmo Baker. It was so epic and we had the best time ever on the road with these guys. It was all great music, great shows & great friends consistently along the way. We compiled a bunch of good footage out there - as well as a live mix of what we were playing on the tour (link below).



Here is the Mix (tracklist in the comments section):
THE RUB & SMALLTOWN DJS - Sixpacks, Shotguns & Serato Tour Mix (right click "Save Target As" to download

A big thanks to Red Bull, WeSc, Stirling Agency, and all the promoters and party goers in each town. Hopefully we will do it again SOON.

Let the hilarity ensue.

Rock, Break & Boogie (Smalltown Djs Edit)

This tune was produced in 1985 by awesome Italo Disco pioneer Salvatore Cusato. It's a great combination of Moroder style disco and early 80s rap music. He also did this amazing and hilarious tune Robin Cook's Comanchero.

This edit makes it a little more dj friendly for the clurb:
LET'S ROCK, BREAK & BOOGIE (SMALLTOWN DJS EDIT) - SAVOIR FAIRE & UPTOWN EXPRESS

Enjoy.

Malente

Malente has started a new record label called NO BRAINER. He is our favorite German of all time. (we like him even more than Katarina Witt)

Can't say enough good things about this guy - but more specifically his production is next level. To celebrate the launch of the label he's done a new dj mix. This would be a great way to kickoff your weekend.

BONJAY

Also - in case you missed this last month, Bonjay have a new single. They've played twice in the last year with us at Hifi and hey brought the house down both times. They are undoubtedly one of Canada's brightest up-and-coming dance music talents.

Here you can get their awesome new single called "Stumble" - FIYAH!

Telephoned Tour Tales

A couple of weeks ago we ran into Sammy Bananas & Maggie Horn as they were on tour opening for Chromeo & Holy Ghost! in Calgary. Always great to see them, and I'm sure they will be back through town VERY soon. They did a rundown of the whole tour (which looked like a blast) and you can check it out here:

TELEPHONED TOUR TALES (via Rcrd Lbl)

We're really stoked for them as Sammy is one of our old buddies - we even did a mixtape together in March 2007.

Telephoned tell a friend.

GRAHMZILLA

Our good buddy Grahmzilla aka Nautiliss (also a member of Bassanova with Jess Jubilee) just sent me this awesome remix of Kathy Brown that he did. This one is for the djs - and I can't wait to play it in the club. Download link is in the Soundcloud player below. HOUSE MUSIC!

AZOTO - SOFT EMOTION

Azoto only had 2 albums, but they were both hot as shit, and the vocals are always the best. I did an edit of their tune "Soft Emotion" to play early in my set at Shambhala. It's shorter and beefed up a bit. Enjoy.

HUGGS SUMMER MIX

Huggs is a legendary DJ troubadour. He has played with us a million times at Hifi, but he never has a mix done that we can use to promote with. This summer he just finished a few mixes, which is great because he has phenomenal taste. Its full of a bunch of non club and indie rock type tunes. It should be a good listen for a Monday morning. Also - There is a download link on the proper Mixcloud page below.
