Never shall a mix from Cosmo Baker or any of The Rub guys ever need much of an introduction or second-guessing about whether it’s worth the listen. Recorded October 2010 at The Byrdhouse in Brooklyn and here for the sharing today. Enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »

“Me and Mike B did a “dual set” for 2.5 hours at LA’s Do-Over and we recorded it. I think you might like it, it’s kind of fun to listen to…”

I actually stumbled across this one yesterday after I got the email about the The Rub x 2008 mix. I didn’t mention it because I wanted to save something to give you all today. I rode to it last night on a late trip to Best Buy & it gets the thumbs up. Read the rest of this entry »

Cosmo usually creates some entertaining mixes that have energy unlike a lot of these fucks. And since the man DJs nationwide on a nightly basis, you can bet your last $5 that he knows how to keep the music moving. Those factors plus his previous mixes allow me to blindly post this & say “download & listen.” Read the rest of this entry »

Words By DJ Sorce-1

All the responsibilities of adult life can overwhelm and make for some long, stressful days.  Sometimes I need to remind myself to take a breath and relax.  Luckily for people like me, The Rub’s Cosmo Baker crafted “Still Good” last year as a mellowing soundtrack for the summer.  I’ve recently rediscovered this soothing collection of jams and it has been on repeat ever since.  Minimal mixing, impeccable song selection, and an unbeatable flow help make for some very necessary summer listening.  This mix is perfect for sitting on the porch with a brew, a neighborhood barbeque, or some quality alone time with your lady.  Whatever your idea of a great summer time is, “Still Good” is the perfect soundtrack.

Download the mix for free, compliments of Cosmo.
