This week on the RIPEcast, Space Cowboys welcome back Smoove to the Bay Area. 

Aloha Funkateers 

Back in Y2K era San Francisco, there was a trend amongst the uber cool restaurants where  - as part of the dining room ambience - you would often find a DJ mixing live during dinner service. It was here, spinning vinyl all night propped up at the end of the bar, in this bastion of late 20th century California fusion cuisine I found my entrance into the fantastical wonderland that is the Bay Area DJ community. And it was here where I first encountered the Space Cowboys. 

The subsequent years featured a significant increase of the color orange into my wardrobe, Halloween undergrounds, a Unimog, breakbeats (so. Many. Breakz!) renegades in Golden Gate Park, that thing in the desert, decompression/recompression, Love parades, rhinestones, Martha, NewsBreakz, heartbreakz.  And yes, a New Year’s Day sunrise party. 

It was a glorious time to be alive 

So I think it’s fitting my first time back at BOC in *this many* years was the 25th anniversary.  I was hella psyched to be on this years line up because, if I’m being perfectly honest, I have missed you all. Spinning this set was a true joy and it was an honor to be back with the original crew.

Breakfast of Champions is always been a special day of welcoming the new year with new and old friends and seeing our community come together in one place is magical! Although I have taken a step back from DJing and posting mixes, but without fail, BOC inspires me to keep on playing. If you were there with me on the dancefloor, I was seriously soaking in all your vibes... thank you all for making it such a memorable set! 

Catch me next on 3/22/25 at 7th West in Oakland with Disco Donutz!

Featured this week another Space Cowboy who brings it. Every. Single. Time. A man who has never missed DJing a single Breakfast of Champions. The one and only Brad Robinson. 

"It was another great New Year’s Day and the sunshine. Thanks to everyone that came out for Breakfast of Champions this year and those who stayed late to hear me play after the sun went down.  Please check out the Sylvan Esso remix that I put together on the first track." -Brad Robinson

The music of LCD Soundsystem is perfect. From a DJ perspective what more is there to do than pay homage? With a couple exceptions I used the original versions of their songs for this mix. It's everything I love about the music of my favorite band of this era.

My set from Burning Man Decompression San Francisco, 2019 on the lovely Giving Tree Art Car. Please to enjoy a delightful little 45-minute tech house sandwich. It was so beautiful to play at sunset surrounded so many smiling burner friends!
