Mark Dekoda - Playing The Game (Original Mix) // Out Now

Music has the power to be a really beautiful thing. It marks certain moments in time that you carry with you your whole life. When ever you hear certain tracks they transport you right back to some place wonderful. I'm madly in love with my girlfriend Christina and went with her in 2012 to Lightning in a bottle where I played this set. LIB is a wonderful and diverse festival on the West coast of America. It was Christina's and my first festival together. I wanted to make it a really really special trip and decided beforehand to play only for her that day inspired by, and full of, my love for the most gorgeous, lovely and sweet girl I've ever met.

LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE 2012 PART TWO

This week's RIPEcast is from Space Cowboy's own DJ Deckard. Here's what he has to say for himself:

"Breakfast of Champions is consistently my favorite party of the year both to DJ and attend. I opened the outdoor main stage at 9am this year and for all intents and purposes got to play the sunrise set I had been desiring to play but never got the chance at Burning Man earlier in the year. I took it as an opportunity and honor to be able to set the tone for the morning and get the party off on the right foot. I loved getting to play more of a house oriented set with vocals and a block party feel towards the end of the set. I had a blast playing and hope it shows through in the set."

Here's the track list:

01 andhim - 55.555
02 Super Flu & andhim - Scuzzlebutt
03 Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now (Fennec & Wolf Remix)
04 Green Velvet - Bigger Than Prince (Hot Since 82 Remix)
05 Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime (Gigamesh Remix)
06 The Lumineers - Stubborn Love (Fennec & Wolf Remix)
07 Monkey Safari - Hi Life (Ole Biege Remix)
08 Delta Spirit - Yamaha (Fennec & Wolf Edit)
09 Urban Soul & Roland Clark - Have A Good Time (Monkey Safari Remix)
10 Purple Disco Machine - Move Or Not
11 WhiteNoise - Check Baby
12 TJR vs Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Bio:
Deckard began DJing in Seattle in 2000 and soon began playing gigs up and down the west coast. Upon moving to San Francisco in 2005 he fell in love with the electronic music scene which is so unique to the Bay Area. You can find him spinning at San Francisco institutions such as Mighty, Shine, Supper Club, Wish and the End Up. Deckard capped off a successful 2009 by joining up with the Space Cowboys Burning Man camp. Depending on the crowd, venue and time of day you might find him spinning downtempo lounge, funky big beat, tech house, electro or breaks.

DEEP DISH - 'QUINCY' [PETE TONG BBC RADIO 1 RIP]

This week we're thrilled to have our good pal, Deckard (aka Keith Harris) of the Space Cowboys, in The Armory. Press play. Get Down. 

"For me 2014 has been about playing upbeat party tunes. I'm exploring different sounds and going in new directions and hopefully providing something a little unique. With Breakfast of Champions and my sunrise mix paving the way here is another evolution on the sound. Remember to throw your hands in the air (song 3)... and finally a big thank you to Zach Moore who runs the Armory Podcast and was a driving force behind the Space Cowboys Ripecast (along with a boatload of awesome mixes from outstanding DJs). Thanks buddy and thanks for the opportunity to share what I've been playing out lately to this podcast." - Deckard

First To Cry

I Ain't Gonna Be The First To Cry

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!

DJ Deckard - My Definition Of Chill Vol. 6 -  Jukebox Hero

First off a heartfelt thank you to all the Space Cowboys who made this Burning Man an incredible experience. I have been afforded the chance to become a part of your wonderfully twisted family, play some of the best damn parties anywhere, talk shit, and build crazy projects and I feel blessed to be a part of it. I came to the Cowboys because of the music and stayed because of the personalities and attitude.
This year the Space Cowboys worked as hard as ever to build a 2 story saloon. Why? Because no one said no? Because who wouldn't want a 2 story saloon? The saloon rocked and now that we have one Burning Man under our belt with it I imagine we will figure out more and better ways to utilize it.

This mix is dedicated to all you Space Cowboys and especially those who were there around Noon on Thursday to enjoy these tracks I got to lay out for my semi-delirious campmates after a triumphant Hoe Down and a work of building that led up to it. I love you guys. - Deckard

Deckard RIPEcast - Party People 5

The My Definition of Chill series, which has always been the purest public expression of my taste in music, has exceeded all expectations I ever had for it. What began as a playlist of songs I liked to listen to at the end of the night has evolved into a soundtrack of my life. The reaction from those who have let me know how this series has been a part of their lives has touched me deeply and I appreciate every story and word of thanks I have received. Thank you for sharing and letting me be a part of your life.  

The inspiration for Vol. 7 Brazil started out as a series of unintentionally ignored emails and eventually came around to the formation of a new friendship, an incredible journey to Brazil, and what I hope will be a long term musical partnership based on a love of similar music and now this mix. 

I have to thank my good friends Ricardo and Fred from the Peninsula Beach Club Hotel in Bahia, Brazil for having the vision to bring me in as resident DJ for the New Years holiday and for sharing with me their slice of paradise. It was truly a pleasure to play for a group of amazingly beautiful and friendly Brazilians and the vibe continues to inspire me. 

This mix goes along with Party People 7 Brazil Edition. Different mood with the same inspiration. Thanks for coming along for the musical ride. You can find the complete tracklist posted on Facebook.

Deckard RIPEcast - My Definition of Chill Vol. 7 Brazil

http://deckard-dj.com/Chill/Chill.html
Summer is here and the time is right for... chillin' with my new mix. Decidedly non-club oriented. Some of these songs I've collected over the years and keep coming back to. Not to denigrate other downtempo mixes, but I can only listen to Kruder & Dorfmeister so many times before it's time for something different. So I made this mix for me, but I hope you enjoy it too.

My Definition of Chill Vol. II  Part 2

Back again to leisurely rock your boomboxes with My Definition of Chill Vol. 3. I've been overjoyed with the reaction I've received from the first two installments.  What began as a mix I was initially going to keep to myself ended up becoming my most listened to mix I've released. For volume 3 my life in San Francisco was a big inspiration for the songs that made it in. A departure in style from both volumes 1 and 2. I'm really happy to share these 22 songs with you that I've been listening to for the last 6 months I've been putting this together. Lots of cool stuff I've run across with vocals from Bob Marley, Al Green and Paul McCartney, a classic from DJ Shadow remixed in elegant style, old school chill classics with Orbital and Nightmares on Wax (I had to include them at some point) and some nods to particular friends with a few of the songs. I want to send a big thank you to everyone who has expressed their gratitude for the My Definition of Chill mixes. It keeps the wheels turning knowing other people are really appreciating the end result.

My Definition of Chill Vol. 3

Recorded @ Get Underground - Rex Club - Paris - 03/08/12

This week's RIPEcast is a special double header. We will be bringing you not one but TWO mixes from our very own @dj-deckard in celebration of his 50th birthday.

Here's what he had to say:
"A celebration of chill songs I love mixed in an extended set. This is also my 20th year DJing. I don't wish to get on a soapbox but I do believe in the power of music to unite and provide an outlet for these crazy times. Consider this just a small way of helping share some joy and especially good tune with much more to come. Thank you -Deckard"

ROBOTHEART 2012 PART ONE

ROBOTHEART 2012  PART TWO

Deckard - My Definition of Chill Vol. 4 Part One - More Chill

"Wow. My release of "My Definition of Chill Vol. 4 Part Two (Less Chill)" got a huge reception. Over 15,000 plays after SoundCloud featured it on their Explore Electronic music page. Really gratifying to know so many people took a listen and hopefully like what they hear. Here is Part One (More Chill). Initially I had these two parts together as one gigantic mix but over time each half took on its own personality. This one a bit more dreamy and lower tempo but still throws some punches." - Deckard
