Rube splits his time swing dancing to the big bands at St Pauls Wabasha St. Caves, reading Kerouac, collecting classic jazz & hip hop records, and honing his skills on the double bass. His debut EP Another Gone Record will be released on Jazz & Milk records in May.

In Rubes mind, bop jazz, beat poetry, big band swing, and hip hop live together. As Rubes first EP, Another Gone Record demonstrates, the fore mentioned arts get along very well.

The EP opens with Another Gone Record, where vocal scatting and chilled out hip hop rhythms mingle with big band horns and walking basslines in a tasteful downtempo mixer.

Get Up! picks up the pace at a tempo Mr. Cugat could appreciate as much as Mr. Bambataa might.

For Big Band Jump pts 3 & 4, label Founder, Dusty joins Rube for a percussion heavy number that builds and builds and builds! BBJ is an homage to Krupa, Rich, Cozy Cole and the Big Bands of the past, but this hard swinging track is made for modern clubbing.

Dharmabumrush completes the record. It is a bombastic style montage of scat singing, double basslines, mad blowing horns, funkified breakbeats and beat poetry.

Informed and inspired by jazz, beat poetry, and big band swing, the Rubes Another Gone Record is the kind of record that b-boys, b-girls, lindy hoppers, jazz cats, beatheads and hep cats can all appreciate.
