I Like It Dirty 22: DJ Dane at Dusty Rhino Pre-Burn @ Public Works SF

Howdy Ripecast lovers! A friendly warning, this dirty and bouncy breaks mix will cause spontaneous and, at times, involuntary dance parties to break out whenever and wherever played.  Please listen with caution.  Better yet, don't! 

DJ Dane is known for his dirty, bouncy, sexy, booty-shakin' beats. You'll find him with a smile creating awesome at clubs, undergrounds, renegades and festivals in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Burning Man and beyond. He is a resident DJ of the Dusty Rhino and produces the popular I Like it Dirty Podcast, a unique blend of breaks, electro, house, deep house & tech house.

DJ Dane on the RIPEcast

This week in The Armory DJ Influence of San Francisco’s Strategik collective is on the decks dropping one of his signature dark and dirty breaks sets. Press play and enjoy!

Influence started his piratical career in a time called Ye Olden School. Quickly rising through the ranks of deck swabbing, plank laying, wenching, & rumming; his golden years came to end upon the capture of his ship by a band of jolly rogers on the ship Strategik (they were good with a cannon, but not so much with spelling). Locked away in the ship's depths, every night he was told, "Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning." All seemed lost, so he got into Djing, took over the ship, called himself Influence, and the rest was basically, history... basically.

Elite Force - Classics Mix 2019

The Space Cowboys are happy to bring you this very special, holiday edition of The RIPEcast courtesy of our good friends Slyde [slybeats.com, Fingerlickin]. Featuring their forthcoming release, "Russian Girls Are Dangerous" this delectable, 30-minute RIPEcast-exclusive mix is sure to keep you movin' through those long lines at the airport this weekend, Boys and Girls. 

Safe Travels and Happy Thanksgiving from The Space Cowboys, Everyone! 

Check out Slyde on their new website www.slybeats.com! 

Slyde have been gracing the breaks scene with their unique style of layered beats for almost a decade. 12Tree initially engineered Laidback’s ‘Frequency Delinquency’, with the latter’s belief that “rave is early break beat speeded up” running through its veins. The pair’s infatuation with funky, phat and well-produced breaks ensured they gelled perfectly and the album saw spectacular success winning Amazon’s Electronic Album of the Year in 2002.

Following various accomplishments with the breaks arm of the label Bolshi, the duo were reborn as Slyde. Under the new name and with a new home at Finger Lickin’, Slyde has seen incredible singles success with the outrageously funky Slippedy Slide and addictively infectious Krunk. Their last four releases under Finger Lickin’ sold over 15,000 records and every Slyde single has reached the Top Five of DJ Magazine’s Beats Chart as well as receiving extensive radio play on renowned stations such as XFM and Radio 1. After a chance introduction to Keith Flint of The Prodigy who immediately recognized their talent, the trio collaborated on Clever Brains Fryin’.

The duo have performed around the globe and back again at the very best clubs and festivals in all four corners of the world. They have started proceedings at Glastonbury for Annie Nightingale’s show on Radio 1, toured Australia, Asia and Canada, played slamming shows at Glade and fundraising parties in San Francisco for Burning Man and have rocked the floor at the world famous Womb Club in Tokoyo. Wherever Slyde perform, it is guaranteed they will smash up the dance floor.

Slyde’s discerning conception of break beats has resulted in the album ‘Everyone’s entitled to our Opinion’ that both reflects their core influences and origins and strikes with a sophisticated depth of sound, crossing breaks with melodic tunes and commercial awareness. The album featured a whole host of vocalists as the duo didn’t just want make breaks tunes that are easy to mix in a club, but wanted people to feel the lyrics and hear the songs.

Today, Slyde are bosses of their own, already successful label, ‘Slybeats’. Ripping through the city's underground like a cybertronic chainsaw and surrounded by urban grooves and industrial beats, Slybeats is set to dominate the musical landscape, flooding the dark streets with the laser lit sounds of the future.

This week the Space Cowboys are pleased to welcome, Bertie Dastard (a.k.a. Mike Perks), the editor and chief of Free Breaks Blog, a fellow-Breakspoll finalist this year in the 'Best Website/Blog' category. Mike is one of the good Samaritans in the world of breakbeat and he has been a huge supporter of The RIPEcast over the years. He launched his blog, which is a veritable gold mine of free tracks and DJ mixes, in 2010 (the same time The RIPEcast came into existence). If you're a breakbeat fan, bookmark Free Breaks Blog and check the site regularly. You can also follow FBB on Facebook. Finally, congrats to Mike for recently becoming a new dad!

"The mix is a combination of the best free breaks tracks that have been featured on the site over the years or are exclusive forthcoming material. I really could have made a thousand different mixes with the amount of quality tracks on offer but wanted to try and showcase the producers and sounds that are really pushing breaks worldwide right now. Deekline, Stanton Warriors, Krafty Kuts, Future Funk Squad, Mafia Kiss, Jurassik and Se7en Deadly Breaks are all at the forefront of the UK breakbeat scene and it shows with the amount of amazing music and parties they are involved with. We have been lucky to work with most of this artists in the past and have another exclusive from Se7en Deadly Breaks coming very soon which is featured in the mix. Marten Hørger and Lunathics cover the European side of breakbeat in the mix with the usually high standard of edits and remixes they are known for. From the USA I have selected the king of breakbeat re-edits REL1 who has provided us with 9 exclusives for the blog launch including the wicked breakbeat /trap edit featured in this mix. Also we have legendary breaker DJ Icey and long time blog supporter Sychosis with two more killer tracks. The Austrailian breaks scene is alive and kicking and Philly Blunt and Micah Black provide the material to prove it with two reworks that are pure dancefloor fire." - Bertie Dastard 

Bertie Dastard is the editor in chief of the biggest and best breakbeat blog on the internet, www.freebreaksblog.com. In its three year existence they have gone from a passionate "fan site", to being internationally recognised as the leading blog for all things breakbeat related and nominated in the worldwide, 2013 Breakspoll awards for best website. They regularly run exclusive features and competitions from the best artists in the scene including Stanton Warriors, Krafty Kuts, Sub Slayers, Aquasky, ILS, Fort Knox Five, Mafia Kiss, D-Funk, Hexadecimal, Unstable Label, Ground Level Records, REL1, Toronto Is Broken, Jinx In Dub and many more whilst always supporting the up and coming artists and "bedroom producers". In the words of Bertie himself "We aim to be the number one site for all things breaks, beats, glitch, funk and bass related."

Footprintsound.com NUGZ or Brian Cox, one of the first DJs to perform on a Boeing 747, began his career in music when he acquired a Fisher Price turntable at the age of 5. He started making “pause button” mix tapes from songs on the radio at the age of 10, and got on a set of Technics 1200 MK2 turntables a few years later. He now has over 24 years experience in the booth playing for millions of party people. Blodip says he’s the best he’s ever heard. His stellar sets are amazing, incredible mind blowing magic for your ear holes. His parties are a shitton of fun. His ability to not get distracted is beyond human. NUGZ is about toeing the line between light and dark, positive and negative, existence and non existence. Think yin and yang on two platters and this DJ is the bridge. He takes you on a journey, continuously comes correct with phenomenal sets and uncanny consistency. A true disc jockey in every sense of the word.
While living in Boulder, CO in the 90s, NUGZ gained two distinct achievements. He acquired residencies at Soma in Boulder (voted as one of the top ten clubs in America by BPM and several other dance music publications ), and the number one club in Colorado at the time, Vinyl (formerly 1082 Broadway in Denver). He consistently played with profound success at both of these clubs until they closed, along with numerous others in the Denver /Boulder area while still at a very early point in his career.
NUGZ moved to San Francisco in 2004, and when he isn’t traveling the world, or building art for Burning Man (DJ'd for last 16 yrs), he can be heard performing in prominent SF nightspots such as The Great Northern, Public Works, Mezzanine, Yoshi’s, and the legendary 1015 Folsom. Corporate clients include Adobe, Dianese, Wells Fargo, Facebook, and AOL. He made his mark creating late night underground soirees at a special little space know as “123”, with his production company Footprint Sound. These are still regarded by true nightlife professionals as some of the best parties in SF. He continues to produce weekly and monthly events all around the bay, and during these late nights and early mornings he shares the booth with the likes of The Stanton Warriors, Donald Glaude, Modeselektor, Tycho, Martin Buttrich, Deekline, Audiofly (a performance in his loft, 123 was their first SF show) to name a few.
He is able to blend drastically different beats from all sorts of genres, tell a story, and create a sound/vibe that are truly his own. A risk taker who owns it, works in heavy, moving, melodic basslines, with unexpected builds and drops, sometimes dirty sometimes bouncy, seamless transitions from house to slowed down breaks and back again.  Incorporating custom re-edits and remixes, the more bangin’ selections under cover of darkness revolve around House and UK Nu Skool Break Beat sounds, that range from deep, melodic, sexy, to dark, dirty, nasty, funky, grindy, techy, electro. In day light hours, you might find him spinning trip hop, down tempo, mid tempo and classic hip hop, along with sexy deep house and funk all over the bay area at places like bars, lounges, back yards, yachts, pools, rooftops, houseboat rooftops, small islands, basements, lofts/ warehouses, art galleries, Breakfast of Champions, Bay to Breakers, The SF Marathon, campouts, sidewalks, planetariums, Decompression, SF Pride Parade, the Golden State Warriors championship parade in Oakland, or Golden Gate Park. He is currently the sound engineer and resident DJ for the Dusty Rhino burning man mobile art piece where he is also a founding member.
