Rubber Stamped Mixes - podcast cover

Rubber Stamped Mixes

Rubber’s sets are all about versatility, he is equally at home dropping an Afro Tech club set, Beach / Sunset House vibes, Disco, Funk, Soulful House, Progressive / Trance or some fat Breakbeats plus he loves Drum and Bass. No matter what genre he is playing you will not find anything minimal, it is all about the melody and soul, hence his Slammin, Melodic, Electronic Music tagline. Nobody is going to get short changed either on set length on his watch. Rubber is renowned for journey sets with an average set being 3-4 and upto a record 9 hours long.

Currently in Dubai, previously London Matt Rubin aka Rubber has always loved his tunes. In London he ran his own JamBasha parties and rooms in association with House Music Heavyweights Kinky Malinki. In Dubai Matt had a residency at Fratelli and played regularly with Radio 1s / Hollaphonic’s Greg Stainer. Now with 3 kids and various sporting engagements live sets are limited. My gift back to everyone that loves their tunes is a regular podcast that spans the genres of decent electronic music.

DJ's, Groups and Tours Supported: Nick Warren, Bobby & Steve, Sebastian Ingrosso, K-Klass, Hoxton Whores, George Morel, CJ Mackintosh, Greg Stainer, Ian Carey, Choci, Drumattic Twins, Blank and Jones, Mische Daniels, Gordon Edge, Shades of Rhythm, Abigail Bailey, Raymundo Rogriguez, Graham Sahara, James Jackson, Mark Robinson, Grant Richards, Andy Ward, Dale Hooks, DJ Blush, Mark Dynamix, The Persuaders, Jamie Lee Wilson, DJ Flex, Afroboogie, Tom Craft, Stoneface & Terminal, Tocadisco and more...

After the success of #133 Too Much Information, I wanted to record another mix asap. The process takes so much time, time that I do not have. An opportunity came up with one of my best mates Pasha (aka Fluffer). Pasha is learning to mix, loves progressive house music and has spent hours record shopping. We agreed for him to jump in the deep end and for us to go back to back and record a set. I have to say he did a great job and I am excited to see how he develops his skills. Fluffer and I have b...

Episode 132: 132 - Rubber Stamped Afro Progressive Tech - Warrior II - Dec22

I am back as promised with a 2 part Afro Progressive Tech set to end 2022. After weeks of record shopping I narrowed my crate to 36 tunes. I spent a day looking at programming and rather than go 18 build up / 18 main set or an even 18 split, I choose my favourite 18 tunes for the 1st set which overall is a little more progressive but still has a defined Afro vibe leaving a darker less proggy set to follow in part 2. I further refined the part II selection and recorded it last night. Despite the ...
