Mmmm Deckard, my latest SC obsession!  Very lovely indeed!! Thank you ;)

amazeballs

For this installment of my chill series I found inspiration the moment I heard a vocodered voice singing Hotel California in the Luxxury edit. A week later I heard AfroQBen's amazing remix of Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith and I was off to the races. Being a New Wave kid as a teen I didn't get into many of these songs until my adult years and yet somehow I listen to this mix and it makes me feel like a teenager again. 

It's my birthday so please enjoy my birthday present to you!

Turn it up and shake yer ass!

Ethan - Live at FnF Campout XVIII

By far, my favorite experience at Burning Man this year was DJing atop Garage Mahal's Ganesh Bus - in the midst of a raging dust storm - on a magical mystical art tour in celebration of my dear friend Janet Love's 50th birthday. It was just insane out - a bus full of stoked Mahalers and random burners appearing out of the dust to climb aboard; so much wind and dust that I literally couldn't tell if we were moving or not; CDJs so near the end of their rope that it's a miracle they went the distance; fantastic art appearing and disappearing in the most surreal of fashions; and a bunch of deep, warm, happy and all around awesome house music. Truly the stuff magic is made of. The actual set was not recorded, but this redux version definitely captures the feeling and is the better, quality wise, for having not been recorded under those insanely wonderful conditions. My deepest love and thanks to everyone that built the bus and rode it that day. Dedicated with love to you, to Janet Love for your birthday and to my love, Flo, for the best Burn ever, baby. Love you all, tons.

Live @ FnF XIX

Born and bred in Washington, Keith Harris (a.k.a. Deckard) started DJ-ing in 2000, at venues and clubs in Seattle and Canada. He moved to San Francisco in 2005 where his skills and talent evolved and became even more prolific, garnering interest and accolade and earning him a spot in the underground music scene.

Deckard made his big splash as a member of Coda in 2006 at Burning Man. Soon after he joined forces with the Space Cowboys whose parties are legendary in San Francisco and Burning Man and whose Ripecast podcast was nominated for Best Podcast of the Year by Breakspoll for 2013.

Mixing together a blend of music selection including, but certainly not limited to breakbeat, nu funk, and house, Deckard keeps crowds on their feet and moving backed by his unique sound and ability to mix genres whether it be playing a sunrise set at Breakfast of Champions or closing down the main room in front of a packed warehouse.

Deckard has performed in a variety of venues on the west coast and Canada with DJs such as Jondi & Spesh, Uberzone, Lee Coombs, Plump DJs, Dylan Rhymes, Meat Katie, Elite Force/Simon Shackleton, Worthy and more.

Deckard - Episode 118

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."

All Rubbish Is Wonderful - 8Ball's Bowie Tribute

What a great B.O.C. this year! Every inch of this party rocked. It was one of the best yet and I have played all but one. Spreading my new engagement announcement, working Silent Disco, solid Dj sets everywhere, visiting with old friends and new party people made my BOC. The two puzzling parts were that some of the breakers on the generator mysteriously got flipped off around 7am and the advertising for another New Years day party (on our porto potties!). - Mancub

Funk N Beats Vol 4: Fort Knox Five

OUT NOW: https://fanlink.to/FNB4

23 unmixed/Dj Friendly tracks and a Dj Mix. With music from Ugly Duckling, Flow Dynamics, Kormac, The Allergies, Lack of Afro, The Noisy Freaks, Slynk & Skiitour, Basement Freaks, Malente, Fort Knox Five themselves & many more....

Released Fri 9th March on all digital stores.

Blurb:
The Funk n' Beats series from Bombstrikes continues to grow in stature! This time the label have headed stateside to recruit the almighty Fort Knox Five for curation and DJ duties! With such luminaryfunksters on board, the outcome is every bit as special as you would expect. The Washington DC based crew deliver the album with their trademark quality and down right funkiness, selecting future classics and digging deep for some unbelievable forgotten gems, in a way that only some-one who has been in the game so long could do.

Recent highlights from Bombstrikes' catalog are stacked alongside new music, hidden classics and exclusives. Just reading the track listing gets your feet itching to move, such is the pedigree on board. Featuring music from Fort Knox Five themselves with stone cold classics from the likes of Black Machine, Malente and Ugly Duckling, the quality keeps on oozing out via The Allergies, The Noisy Freaks, Lack of Afro and many more. Not to mention the exclusive digital release of seminal track 'Flex the posse by Rhythm Mode: D', an early collaboration between legends Mark Archer (of Altern 8 fame) alongside Dean Meredith (Bizarre Inc, Chicken Lips). There are so many outstanding tracks on the compilation that each would be a worthwhile addition on its own, but when added together, plus a funked out Dj mix from Fort Knox Five, then this is one mother of an album that cannot be missed.

OUT NOW
