On this week's RIPEcast our close friend and PInk Mammoth resident DJ Jonathan Will with a live set poolside from Birds of a Feather 2024. 

From Jonathan, "This mix comes from closing out the pool party at the famed Birds of A Feather event on Saturday. 

There was so many things I liked about this party, different crews that don’t always get to play or be together because they do separate events, friends I hadn’t seen in years, bird puns (upon puns) for days, and great peeps. 

Special thanks to all the organizers that put it on and was honored to be amongst a killer set of djs with eclectic sounds. It was one for the bird books. Hope you enjoy."

UnSCruz — Santa Cruz's Burning Man Regional Campout — is my favorite event of the year, where my burner fam from the Bay Area and my hometown merge and dance, sing, and be silly for a whole weekend. This Friday night set was super special as I got a chance to experiment with some peak-time Nisene vibes and the crowd was ON POINT!  Sweat on the walls. Unforgettable. Thank you <3

There are just a couple of parties that I play enough times to make a completely specific set for each time, and make it my absolute best.

One is Lightning in a Bottle, which I'm not a resident of but have played 7 of the last 8 fests.

I've prepared for many different time slots at LIB, always looking at this large and spectacular festival as one where people primarily want to dance and have fun.

So I ramp up my funk and vocals (usually playful but i did have one protest lyric in this year's - you can't miss it).  

I lean on the uplifting side, spend a lot of time choosing music and organizing a playlist so i can play appropriately for my time slot and come back thinking it was one of the best sets I've ever played.  

Something that was different for me this year is I took a year and a half off from buying new music prior to LIB in order to reporganize my collection, which now spans 30 years.

Sometimes it's better to understand better what you already have before adding to a massive music collection.

But I never intended my break to be that long!  It just kept going.  And I had a couple of hard drive farts in the middle which didn't help.  

But anyway,  I started buying music again about two months ahead of LIB because I wanted to play an all new music set,  and I also wanted to to  take the time to understand the new music very well.

The problem with playing all new music at a gig is that I don't always take the time to understand it well enough to know if it's as good as the music I already have.  It's fun because it's new... but is it really adding something?

So this time I really took the time to select tracks - I was picky AF!  
This time I spent a lot of time also to play with my tracks, mix them in different ways and really try to only include tracks that were blowing my mind, so that I could give that to the dance floor.

Also spent a lot of time on tagging producers in this description - hope it helps you to discover some great new artists and music!

Patricio @ Lightning in a Bottle 2025

On an incredible river spot deep in the heart of Northern California we gathered amongst friends new and old to shake off any negative energy that had been collecting in our lives, while calling in only positive beams of light, warmth and love. The sun was warming up our world and the light was glistening off of the river water as we journeyed on our quest for the day. I had such a blast playing with everyone and felt so in flow with all these delicious tunes I have been gathering over the past few months. 

If you enjoyed this selection, please share amongst friends and support the artists that I included in this mix.  – Vitamindevo

This live broadcast and avatar performance by DJ Celeste was recorded at the MetaMusic Festival monthly event series at the new Neon Aqua Theater virtual world venue inside HTC’s VIVERSE platform and features a mix of house music with a progressive vibe and some drum & bass towards the end. 

Always a pleasure working with, Metacities, HTC Vive, world builders Cause and Christi and the VRARA . This event was also in conjunction with BitBasel and hosted on the Web XR social site the VIVERSE. 

I use a combination of OBS, Volta AR/AI software, and Pioneer DJ / Serato  for the visual and audio broadcast - you can view here: https://youtu.be/uN0ef0XW-VA

Through adversity, we find strength. This year was not without its challenges but it was without a doubt the most wonderful opportunity for growth I have ever had the good fortune to experience. Life is a gift and the human connections we make every day are all that will matter in the end. 

This set for me is a celebration of life and newfound inspiration, I sincerely hope you find joy in listening to it. Thank you to all of the incredible artists who continue to inspire me every day. As Matthew Caws said "the weight is a gift". 

I hope this finds you all happy, healthy and loved.

Eternal gratitude and love to DJ Dane, my brother Dane, Ed, Carol, Jenny, Seth & the DSS crew, Seth and Camp Bisous for hosting us and of course the Axolotl crew for hosting this morning on their beautiful art car. And of course my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who joined us for this wonderful morning and made it a magical moment in time I will never forget.

Possessing a penchant for writing music that combines elements of downtempo, trap, dub, pop, world and deep house, in studio and on stage, Celeste creatively fuses together deep, futuristic bass with unique sampling, eclectic drum loops and luscious sonic synth layering and organic instrumentation like cello & guitar. Her work has been featured on "So You Think You Can Dance", and on hundreds of placements on film, television and commercial since 2008. Her music has been likened to, CloZee, Bonobo, Atyya, Desert Dwellers, Odesza, Imogene Heap, Chet Faker, Tipper, Pretty Lights, Zero 7, Thievery Corporation, Bjork, Etc. 

"It would only seem fitting that the granddaughter of the inventor of the 8-Track cassette would have music in her genes." - Editor, Reno Gazette Journal.
