The duo—whose infectious, deeply danceable track “Anthem” has already been featured on CBC Radio 3, not to mention the playlists of a growing number of DJs nationwide—might never have created their “sexytime explosion” save for the fact that the Internet allows for a liaison between the 416 and the 514. “With Isis living in Toronto and myself living in Montreal,” Grahm explains, “I would send her beats and then she’d send me back an a cappella, which I would chop and throw back onto the beat. It’s actually a really efficient way to do it, because we can both work at the same time.”
Isis’s raunchy rhymes combine with Grahm’s dirty bass to create tunes that’ll make you wanna add them as a MySpace pal. Heck, nearly everyone else has, and Thunderheist has made the promo potential of the Web work for two folks who’ve been at this music thing for quite some time.

To most outside the 905 area, they’re unknown. Probably because they're too concerned with turning the gritty city of Hamilton upside down. Collectively, The Rubdown has finished tops at Recording Arts Canada and has played every major event in the 905 in the last 3 year.
Having opened and closed for more international talent than any other djs outside of Toronto: The Rapture, Guns & Bombs, Thunderhiest, Dj Dan, Donald Glaude, Green Velvet, Josh Gabriel, Dirty South, Chris Lake, Max Graham, Kobbe, Glen Morrison, Holosound, The Scumfrog, Andy Moor, Macca…as well as every top dj from Toronto like Mark Oliver, Jelo, Hatiras, Dekoze, Sydney Blu, M&S, The Roaches and The Junkies….they maintain their mantra of “Party. Chaos. Porn”
Why are they the go to guys? Because their collection is versatile, they always sound dope and they’re more entertaining than the last time you knocked boots. - Jean Pierre le Muff
