BASSBEN Live at FnF Summer Campout 2022

I loved getting to play this set for my friends and family! What a special and magical time we shared.

FnF Summer Campout 2023

Without further delay, I’m proud to share with you my much requested set from Breakfast of Champion + It’s A New Day on New Year’s Day 2024!  I would have loved to share my live recording but due to a technical difficulty, I had to recreate the magic in a studio mix. It was amazing to kick off the new year with joy, love and hope rocking my set on the Heavy Petting Zoo stage to a sea of party people and all my friends up on stage. The highlight was debuting the track that DJ Denise and I produced at the top of my set. It’s always one of my favorite events of the year and this year was no exception. Now you can relive the magic from that moment in bass face inducing auditory bliss. BUMP IT LOUD and share!

Influence - Funk With Thiz

Ding Dong - Birds of a Feather - April 2024

This week on the RIPEcast Space Cowboy resident rrrrus in March live at the Rhythm Society quarterly. 

From the man himself “Back in 1998 rrrus nervously took the decks for the first time ever in front of a crowd in a small church in SF's mission district for one of the first Rhythm Society events.  26 years, a bunch of ANDCs, Burning Mans, Breakfasts of Champions, campouts, and a few naps later rrrus is back to give his home spiritual community a groovy bumping hug.  Let's get busy.”

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.

RIPEcast Smoove - Breakfast of Champions '25

On this weeks RIPEcast our good friend from New York @_defkon with a live set on the Mog stage from Breakfast of Champions '25.

From Defkon - 
Playing the 25th Anniversary of Breakfast of Champions was an absolute honor. The Space Cowboys have been a huge inspiration in my journey as a DJ, so getting the chance to represent Brooklyn at BOC this year was a dream come true. Sharing the stage with legends like Sporty-O  & Thug Shells  —who both came out to perform with me—made it even more special.
Knowing I was playing for a veteran crowd that’s heard and danced to some of the best breaks out there, I knew I had to bring my A-game. I think I accurately delivered my sound, keeping the energy high and the dance floor moving until the very end. Closing out the legendary MOG Stage alongside my mentors was an unforgettable experience.
Huge thanks to DJ Deckard, Rumblemunk, and the entire Space Cowboys crew for welcoming me with open arms and making me feel at home!

Your Love Keeps Changing!

Without doubt, DJ ICON has become an iconic figure in the U.S. dance music industry and beyond. With a career spanning 25 years, she has captivated audiences the world over with her bass-heavy cross-genre House, Breaks and Bass Music sound; magnetic stage presence, skillful DJ mixes and productions. It’s no wonder why she’s been dubbed one of the leading ladies of this domain.  

Starting in 1996 at age 16, ICON diligently rose through the ranks of the San Francisco underground at a time when female DJs and promoters were few. In just a few years, her skills and growing reputation had already landed her numerous residencies in San Francisco, as well as a steady flow of stateside and international bookings. ICON has also gained success in radio and television in addition to rocking dancefloors. Among her accolades are releases on well-known labels, features in two TV series, a spot in Shejay’s “Top 100 Female DJs”, being voted one of San Francisco’s best in the Nitevibe “Top 10 DJ Dreamteam”, scoring a coveted sponsorship from Pioneer Pro DJ and building a huge fanbase on her social media pages and Soundcloud.

ICON has toured the world performing throughout the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe and Asia at world renowned clubs such as 1015 Folsom and Ruby Skye in San Francisco, Limelight in NYC, Fabric and Matter in London, and Avalon in LA; as well as world-class music festivals such as Coachella Music Festival, Ultra Music Festival, Burning Man and Fuel Festival in Singapore. ICON has shared stages with top tier artists such as Underworld, The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, Ladytron, Paul Oakenfold, Adam Freeland, Armand Van Helden, Deekline & Wizard, The Stanton Warriors, The Freestylers, Evil Nine, Elite Force, Uberzone, Bassbin Twins, DJ Icey, DJ Rap and many more. 

Aside from being busy behind the decks, ICON has also been busy behind the scenes promoting events in SF and NYC over the years. Currently she is a core member of Opulent Temple, a predominant DJ collective that is responsible for producing a large scale sound camp annually at Burning Man Arts and Music Festival, as well as year-round events that are staples in the San Francisco nightlife. 

ICON has had extensive history on the radio waves with past residencies and guest spots on respected dance music programs such as Thump Funk and Boombox Mix Sessions on SiriusXM, Liquid Todd’s Solid State on K-ROCK in NYC (Infinity Broadcasting); IBreaks and NuBreaks in London, Radio Record in Russia; and a plethora of dance music radio shows in her hometown, including House Nation on Wild 94.9 FM, Subsonic on Live 105, Zendada on Energy 92.7, and Future Breaks on KUSF. She has also made her way onto the small screen: In 2001, she was featured as one of twelve up-and-coming American DJs in “Disc Jockey,” a 12-part documentary series that aired on Showtime™. In 2004, she was the DJ on the internationally syndicated MTV™ series “The Wade Robson Project,” a dance competition hosted by the self-titled choreographer.

Lastly, ICON’s production endeavors have proven to be as exciting as her DJ career. Her releases on Illeven Eleven Records: “Welcome To My Dancefloor” with Dustin Hulton featuring Nikki Carabello and “Wha?” a collaboration with Bay Area producer Ground_Control had steller reviews and support by leading artists in the industry. “Dancefloor” charted at #8 and #22 on the Beatport Breakbeat and Electro charts with a great review in Mixmag. The KMFX remix of “Wha?” charted at #12 on the Beatport Breakbeat chart. ICON & GC have also done remixes of “Reload” for Deekline and Ed Solo feat. Million Dan on Rat Records and “Draggin” for Enough Weapons on Vibrance Recordings.

So what’s next for this powerhouse bass princess? More mixes, productions and remixes are in the works, as she continues to make her mark in the worldwide dance music industry.
