you'd drop this one in your sets back'n tha dayz, I knew when JK was spinning! moving thru ur system, my man JK!

So many memories! And sooo many hours of pre bodybuilding competition cardio done to these albums! These are part of my soul!

This set was first performed on January 1st 2024 in San Francisco at the Breakfast of Champions block party on the Space Cowboys main stage.

A RE:CONSTRUCTED set is a *long* way removed from a standard DJ set. It's a live/hybrid set.

Simon takes hundreds of tracks from his huge library, painstakingly deconstructs them (using Ai if needed to separate elements from the original tracks), and then pieces everything back together to create a hugely emotive and immersive musical story.

He uses Ableton Live and multiple controllers to trigger up to 16 individual channels of audio at any one time during the performance, and also performs live keyboard overdubs. The end result is a hugely addictive, compulsive and compelling blend of music that's often new, often familiar but always utterly unique.

Hope you enjoy the ride.

Tamo - Breakfast of Champions 2024 - RIPEcast

I am thrilled to invite you to experience the magic of my New Year's Day set at the iconic Breakfast of Champions party, hosted by the legendary DJ collective Space Cowboys. As a proud member of the Space Cowboys, curating this set was a labor of love, showcasing my favorite tech house tracks from the vibrant landscape of 2023. The Breakfast of Champions is not just a party; it's a testament to the Space Cowboys' commitment to a community that thrives on a shared passion of art, music and dance.   

Being a Space Cowboy is more than just a title; it's a badge of honor that represents a commitment to bringing joy to the people through music and dance. I am proud to have played a role in putting together this unforgettable event, where the beats echoed the spirit of unity and celebration. My thanks to the people who were there dancing in the street and you who are listening to this Ripecast.

Space Cowboy resident Rumblemunk is up on this week's RIPEcast with his live set from Breakfast of Champions 2024! 

In his words "I’m not a turntable-ist or an OG breakbeat DJ/producer, but when your set is in between Cut Chemist and Elite Force, whaddya do?

This set starts with a supporting MC, blazes through a mash-up of Drummatic Twins re-releases (thanks Nick), followed by my BOC 2023 release Shake That Thing, stops in with some Nick Thayer, bounces through my Eminight’s Doom bootleg, then settles in for an Elite Force medley (thanks Simon) that ends with playing the CDJ like an instrument. Brass Monkey gets us back on track heading towards a half time grind and shake, then resetting with a classic breakbeat, ending with my latest release, a Tears For Fears bootleg.

Thank you for all the love and support at this year’s BOC. Hope you enjoy the set and the memories!" - Rumblemunk

DJ TOUR Countdown Mix DJ SET

We had the absolute honor & privilege to perform at the Daybreaker SF: Peace Tour located at the breathtaking Grace Cathedral. This is the live 2-hour recording (Dancing Mandy is the first half, DJ Denise is the second half). Thank you for listening!

From Dancing Mandy:
Playing Daybreaker at Grace Cathedral was incredibly meaningful for me on so many levels. Growing up singing in church choir was my first connection to music, so being able to DJ in a house of worship (in my wedding dress!) really brought my musical journey full circle. I thought deeply about what to play, and decided that it was really important to play soulful, uplifting house music, the music that unapologetically spreads love in the face of judgement, the music that was created (and still is) to bring fellowship to so many Black, gay, and other marginalized groups when organized religion did not support them. For so many, house music IS church — the only church where they feel 100% loved and accepted for who they are. Bringing these seemingly two diametric opposites under one roof was a powerful experience and I’m so grateful to Daybreaker and Grace Cathedral for making it happen. So as Jack said…Let There Be House!
