British-born Lee Coombs has been involved in the music industry since 1989, when he got his start at acid house parties in London and Cambridge. He went on to run several of his own labels including the legendary Thrust Recordings and collaborate with some of the most respected artists and producers in the world, combining breaks, house, electro, techno, and acid to create groundbreaking mixes in his own signature style. Coombs is a talented and innovative fan-favorite around the world, whether he’s releasing music through his own Thrust label or as part of the Lot49 team, or mesmerizing massive audiences filling dance floors from Australia to Burning Man. 2014 has been a busy year for Coombs! The massive single ‘Lilly in the Sky’ remained up the top of the Beatport charts for many months and has gone on to be one of the biggest selling Breaks tracks of 2014. Next up is the eagerly awaited new artist Album ‘Kaleidoscope’. Collaborating with up and coming Uber producer Kostas G, they have created a musical journey into the mind, traveling through Breaks, Tech House and blissed out Downtempo moments designed to move your body and soul.

Lee Coombs - Episode 066

 It was a great honor to play Breakfast of Champions this year and to have such a prime time slot. What a wonderful sunny January day for this landmark SF event. The city’s finest characters and freaks all made it out to rock the dance floor and kick off the year with positive energy. This set was my way of bringing some deep psychedelic vibes to the party while keeping the momentum high on the dance floor. - Shiny Objects

This week we’re pleased to welcome another of Tampa’s finest purveyors of the broken beat, Agent K (aka Kerry Lane) of Digital Records, to the Armory. Press play. Get down. 

Break Beat connoisseur, Agent K, is recognized as one of the most accomplished,respected dj's/producers in the Break Beat scene today. With over 300 single releases and 9 mixed compilations to date, he is surely on top of his game, consistently delivering his fresh distinctive sound one beat at a time. Creating a highly energetic atmosphere and filling the floor at every event is his specialty. Owning and operating his most successful label, Digital Records, he is determined to take the electronic music scene by storm. From Europe, to the Middle-East and beyond Agent K's fan base continues to grow. His mix of funky, nu skool and electro breaks remains at the highest profile and he keeps the masses on dance floors across America.

Agent K began his career in 1996, making appearances in various clubs and venues across Florida. With four years under his belt as a bass player in an alternative rock band, he took his talents into the studio to make electronic music. "I was attracted to the fact that there were unlimited creative possibilities to making electronic music, you can incorporate sounds from every genre of music there is."

It wasn't long after when he created the label, Warped Recordz, with production partner, Deuce. The popular "Agent K and Deuce" produced top selling tracks across the United States and became one of the most sought after acts of the funky breaks era in the South East, US. In 2004, Agent K began working on his own and managing the well-known Afterdark Records. He quickly became a hot commodity in the Nu-Skool movement of breaks and broke into international status working and producing with artists such as Aquasky, Deep Impact, Breakfastaz, and Deepcut. In addition, he went on his first European Tour and furthermore, a tour in the Middle East which started in Istanbul, Turkey. 

Currently working with Bella, they have taken production and performance to a new level. Agent K's work sets the standard with the number 4 song in breaks on the internationally recognized Beatport.com's "Top 10 of 2008", "Sierra Leone" (Phat Riderz Remix). Continuously getting airplay on XM-Sirius radio and one of the most demanded acts in clubs and venues around the world there is no stopping them. Highly anticipated projects and huge productions on major labels are in the works for these talented artists.

Agent K - Episode 083

Traveling to DJ over new years in Brazil was an amazing experience. Missing Breakfast of Champions and not being around my close loved ones was not the easiest call to make. I'm so thankful to have met so many very fun and awesome people even though I could barely speak a word of Portuguese. A big thank you to Ricardo and Fred from the Peninsula Beach Club Hotel booking me as their resident DJ. I hope for many returns in the future and in the meantime please enjoy Party People 7 Brazil edition. - Deckard

Bassben RIPEcast - Live From BOC 2015

When I heard reports of Bowie's death I assumed it was a grand hoax to compliment Blackstar, a hoax that would have fit well with the albums themes. But no, as reports continued to flood the web along with sentiments from fellow artists and performers I rounded on the realization that it was all true. What a shit morning. 

While I can point to the direct link between Space Cowboys and Bowie, I know it exists. His music and style influenced so many people in our group and the many vibes he created helped shape our aesthetics. A few of us started texting about the bad news and Andrea suggested putting together a tribute mix as a way of acknowledging all that The Thin White Duke meant to Space Cowboys. 

I want to add a disclaimer about this mix by saying I know it's not perfect and I know it leaves out so many awesome fucking songs. When I went looking for material I was surprised that—other than Let's Dance and Fame—there weren't many remixes out there. So I used what I could find, plus some originals, and at some point last night I decided I could either work on it forever or just be done. So it's done. It might be rubbish, but as Bowie says in the interview clip at the beginning of the mix, "All rubbish is wonderful."

On this weeks RIPEcast we are featuring a guest mix from San Francisco's DJ Celeste.  This is a live mix from the recent Loveboat Halloween event in San Francisco.  Here is a bit about DJ Celeste. @celeste-lear 

Hailing originally from Los Angeles but residing in the Bay Area off and on for 10 years, DJ Celeste Lear is a professional mobile event DJ who owns her own 6,000watt sound system and has run sound for and DJ'd hundreds of events, including over 200 weddings - but - this is really just the tip of the iceberg for Celeste whose sonic history runs deep and includes, possessing a degree in sound engineering and operating her own recording studio, 6 album releases on her own indie label, 50+ original song placements on film, commercial & television, plus a steady 15+ years history of consistently pushing the perameters in the music production & DJ world with her own unique vision for music. Another interesting note is that Celeste is deaf in her right ear from a car accident since she was 16, but does not let this handicap come in the way of her and her quest to ROCK THE WORLD!!! Recent highlights include, DJing at Outside Lands, Public Works, Love Boat Halloween as well as regular gigs for corporate clients such as Apple, Google, MOMA, Dell and StubHub.

Lee Coombs March 2020 DJ Mix

This month Power Hour Free Download come from Aussie party breaks producer Pecoe who has cooked up a groovy funk jam to go with his new LP - All for the Beat which dropped last week.
https://www.junodownload.com/products/pecoe-all-for-the-beat-ep/4470126-02/

In these crazy and uncertain times Pecoe has a few words to share:

"Hi folks how are we doing ? Weird and crazy times out there at the moment. Just seeing if everyone is alright to be honest. Be sensible, don’t panic and don’t believe some of the media hype. For sure the word pandemic is not a good one but nobody knows for certainty where this is all going, so just take care of each other .... that is all " /Pecoe
