This is the Third in a series of amazing mix tapes from East Cost legends Scott Henry and Dieselboy. Theses mixes were more experimental than the the standard "Fever" tapes and were used to push local talent and explore more intricate sounds. However this tape was actually a throwback to the early hardcore breaks sounds that both Scott and Dieselboy began playing before Scott split into breaks and Dieselboy went into Drum and Bass.  The tracks on here are from the very early 90's.  This is the first side containing Scott Henry's mix. This mixtape was released in 1997.

Our goal is to promote the tracks on this mixtape to educate the youth. Please let us know if there are any errors in the track listing.

Jeff Omega: All The Smoke & All The FIRE

Following the epic New Years Day event in San Francisco - Breakfast of Champions - is a legendary after after party called Last One Standing. I had the honor of playing for the most hardcore of ravers at club F8 sandwiched between two of my great friends and phenomenal DJ's: Eva + Dulce Vita.

Last One Standing

Skandar - Last One Standing

Growing up just outside of Toronto, Travis was first enchanted by House Music at 16, in the late 1980's as a Dancer first at an all ages Club called NRG.
At the age of Eighteen, the passing of his Grandfather marked the beginning of what would be an illustrious career as a DJ for Travis. Taking advantage of some money left to him, Travis purchased his first turntable, a grey 1983 Technics 1200 and a Rane mixer sourced from a mobile wedding DJ service who were converting to CD format. Record shopping took place at Traxx records in Toronto with guidance from Tim Patrick.
In 1993 Travis moved to London Ontario to attend University and during that time became disillusioned with the frat boy/keg party existence that was everywhere, and opted instead to jump in the car with like minded Dancers and House Music lovers and head to Toronto to attend Warehouse parties and all night Raves. The Dance Floors at these parties were filled with incredibly skilled break dancers and groovers from all over Southern Ontario and New York state and were so very inspirational to Travis. It was here that his DJ groove was really established with the soundtrack provided by the likes of DJ Dan, Mark Farina, Ritchie Hawtin, Dj Sneak, Roger Sanchez, Terry Mullan and many many more. He always gravitated to the more upbeat Chicago Style Sounds.

In 1996 Travis graduated from University and drove 2000 miles west to Vancouver where he planned to work in the Provincial Parks of British Columbia. He was stationed on a small island in the Gulf island chain and there he lived for the next two years, running and managing this park in the peace and isolation of the ocean and evergreen trees. There was no electricity at the Ranger station but he was able to run his decks from a Generator in the workshop. He finally purchased another turntable, a Technics 1100 series with a pitch knob that was extremely tricky to master. Practicing for hours and hours on this sub par scenario led Travis to become extremely precise at beat matching and long mixing. His record shopping trips required a ferry boat ride to the mainland and were at Bassix and Boomtown Records.

The year 1998 saw Travis move to Vancouver, extremely apt in the art of mixing house music. It was during this time that his friends called him The Holy Ghost.
Wanting to take his craft to the next level, Travis moved to London UK in 2001. He picked up a residency at Smile London and has played at various other venues across the city such as Oblivion, the Cross, the Fridge, the Viaduct, Turnmills and Bagley's.
There was a very vibrant Pirate/Underground Radio scene here and in 2002 he started his Radio show, called Believe, on Worldwide FM. He was quickly courted over to UnknownFM 90.2 where his shows were super popular and showcased his ever evolving Energetic US Funky/Jackin’ House style.

In March 2004 International DJ Magazine (IDJ) chose him as runner up in their monthly mixed tape competition. From this he was contacted by fellow DJ and promoter Roman Pushkin and he started going to Moscow and St. Petersburg regularly to play gigs. In all Travis played over thirty times in Russia and many other cities like Minsk in Belarus, Ufa, Ekaterinbourg, Magnitagorsk and Vladivostok.

As the years passed and Believe became more and more popular in 2008 Travis hooked up with a group of like minded house heads on ChicagoHouseFM.
In 2009 he got married to the love of his life in South Africa and although he still hacked around a bit on the decks he decided to focus on his real life. In 2012 his first Son was born and then a second one came in 2015 and he has been very Daddy focused ever since!

Now in 2020 the passion for Jazzy Jackin Underground Funky House Music still burns very strong in this Jedi so he now has his decks set up and is going to start up Believe once again, streaming his sound and video via the web. The Dj’s Dj Podcast.

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.
