The Rub

Fresh from celebrating the party's 13th Anniversary, The Rub is expanding! Starting Friday, August 14, 2015, The Rub will be rocking at Verboten the 2nd Friday of each month, with some very special guests.

This month Just Blaze, Lauren Flax, and DJ Lindsey join Eleven & Ayres to kick off the new residency

The Rub began in the summer of 2002, as a party where Brooklynites with good taste in music could come together, get wasted and dance until the wee hours of the morning. Even in that first year, it was clearly something special, garnering praise from the Village Voice ("best party in Brooklyn to dance sweatily to smart music"), New York Press ("best party in NYC") and many others. Thirteen years later, the original formula still holds true: great dance music mixed well, affordable drinks, and real people.

The Rub DJs have played shows with everyone from Gucci Mane to The Chemical Brothers, DJ Premier to Justice, adapting with the times but never forgetting the foundation of hip-hop, classic disco, funk and soul.
