This is a wild Baltimore Club mix promoting Schwarz and Mark Brown’s new dance party, Shakeoff. The event was conceived to give a new generation of fast, jarring East Coast club music its own outlet. Narwhalz will be emceeing the party’s launch (and by the looks, he also designed the flyer) with guest producer DJ Rip Knoxx. If you’re in B-More, make sure you drop in.
Dubbel Dutch’s first EP for Mixpak, Hymn, drops on November 15th. If you haven’t heard the tracks already, get familiar with this minimix by the man himself:

Mixpak 025 is brought to you by DJ Ayres, founder of legendary NYC hip-hop party The Rub, that sees its 10th anniversary next year. Alongside his worldwide DJ gigs and presenting a radio show on Brooklyn Radio (and now on Scion A/V too), Ayres is responsible for a heap of official and unoffical party-smashing remixes in a huge range of genres, from ‘Pro Nails’ to ‘Move on Up’ to his latest remix of Max Glazer’s Flatlands riddim. For Hip Hop heads, The Rub’s History of Hip Hop podcasts are unmissable, just as his T&A Breaks LP is for B-More fans.
Alongside Tittsworth, Ayres also heads up T&A Records, the label that counts Dave Nada’s ‘Moombahton’ EP, TNT’s ‘Hot Gyal’ and Munchi’s ‘Murda Sound’ amongst its 28 releases. His versatility as a collector and selector is only further exemplified by his exclusive Mixpak FM mix, which runs seamlessly through Dancehall, Jungle, Moombahton, Funky and even a few Mixpak releases. Ring the alarm.
