Werk It! Sets for Kicking Ass

Breakfast of Champions! As always, my favorite party of the year to play.  I am humbled and honored to be able to play this party year after year.  The nerves always melt away the minute I step behind the decks and start seeing all my friends and the numerous smiling faces out in the crowd ready to rock it with me. BOC just seems to get better year after year. I hope you all enjoy the mix as much as I did playing it for you….Kapt'n

Kapt'n Kirk Live from BoC 2014

June 15, 2013 the Angels of bAss came together for a very special all vinyl reunion show in San Francisco. This recording is an excerpt from that evening featuring all 4 angels (j9, Tamo, ViaJay, Jess) tagging 2 x 2.

Angels of bAss Live Vinyl @ Project One - June 2013

Ok- it's been a while since my last studio mix, and this time I'm bringing out something a little different. Straight up breaks- a mix of both new tracks and some of my old favorites twisted together into 60 minutes of driving beats and grinding bass. I like to think of this one as good car trip music, but it would also be well paired with a beer in the park on a sunny day. Holla!

Live @ FnF Campout 2014 - Poolside

Always my favorite set of the year, this year's set from the 18th annual Friends and Family Summer Campout, keeps that tradition well alive. I played later than usual, starting at 4:00 am, so the track selections are just a tad deeper and tweakier, in the techno vein, but with a few fun house trax thrown in cos, er, I like house! Turn it up and shake yer ass!

Recorded Live at Space Cowboys 20 Year Anniversary at Public Works, San Francisco, CA in 2016.

Kap't n' Kirk & Marky Ray RIPEcast Live SC 20 Year Anniversary

This mix is about resistance, soul, hope, love, empathy, soul, and funkiness. It's partially a reaction to the deep outrage and anger so many, including myself, have felt and expressed since November. That much outrage, while justifiable, gets heavy fast, so I started looking for tracks that felt optimistic and free. There's some disco, soulful house, and a few excellent South African house tracks (mostly Black Coffee), and it starts with some of Obama's speech at the 50th anniversary of the Selma march.

It was an amazing event and we are looking forward to hosting more Bounce events in the future.  Use the below link to follow our event page:

Live from Bounce Jan 2018

On this weeks episode of the Space Cowboys RIPEcast, we are continuing to celebrate Bay Area DJ heroes by bringing you Jess Stockton from the Brass Tax crew.  Here is a few words from Jess about this mix:

"This mix is a midtempo/funky house journey through some of my favorite genres- soul, hip-hop, gospel, bluegrass, Dolly (yeah, Dolly probably counts as her own genre). It makes me and mine move our happy asses and I hope it does the same for you and yours. Shout out to my crews Brass Tax and Angels of bAss- proud to still be going strong after all these years with y'all. And to HazMatt and my little man QDubs- my biggest cheerleaders and harshest critics who egg me on with DJ treats (french fries and booty shakes) but also never hesitate to tell me when something sounds "yucky." Thanks to the Space Cowboys for the invitation and to everyone who still follows me and remembers my name, even after I've stepped away from the scene for a minute or two. It was good to be back behind the decks for this one, and I look forward to our next encounter on the dancefloor."

The Space Cowboys have been continuing to host weekly LIVEcast events on Saturday evenings to spread the love and raise some money for needy causes.  I had the pleasure of stepping in this last weekend to fill a last minute spot and bring a batch of fresh disco-fried house tracks.  Thanks to everyone that tuned in and enjoy!!!
