No Love Lost welcomes Finland's RICO TUBBS into the mix for our forty-eighth exclusive mixtape session. A seasoned Breaks man, RICO TUBBS has of late taken his sound in an entirely more wonky and bass heavy direction, a direction that NLLR clearly approves of. You might be familiar with RICO TUBBS via his current club bubbler "Gangsters," the recipient of some worthy DJ love across the globe and coveted BBC Radio 1 airplay at the tastemaking hands of Miss ANNIE MAC. RICO TUBBS has also snagged the attention of some of the hottest labels making waves in 2008 in dance, namely COUNTERFEET and TOP BILLIN', both of which have RICO TUBBS releases on their schedules. RICO TUBBS mix for No Love Lost is forty-five minutes of rolling bass bliss, featuring a couple of the man's own productions alongside the quality likes of MIDFIELD GENERAL's "Disco Sirens," "MSTRKRFT's "Bounce" and COUNT OF MONTE CRISTAL's "Dibby DJ." RICO TUBBS is a busy, busy man and to get the complete picture you should definitely check out his MySpace. Enjoy! -- Lee
