Celebrating 1 year of live streaming sessions since the pandemic, the Santa Cruz DJ Sessions crew threw an epic three-day affair that I had the pleasure of playing at. This set was at 2pm on Sunday and I decided to hearken back to pool and beach party vibes with a collection of midtempo funky tunes and some drum & bass for good measure.

Last month, I played a farewell party in Squamish for my friend Kit Kat. What more fitting than a classic 2000's era Breakbeats set? This is the polished re-recording of that night.

We're kicking off our releases of our 20th Breakfast of Champions in collaboration with It's a New Day with a recording from our very own Deckard. Here's what Deckard has to say:

"20 years of Breakfast of Champions for Space Cowboys and my 10th may have topped them all. 
It was off the hook all day and getting to rock it in front of so many friends old and new, a cracking lineup, and that sound and video wall (!!!) will go down as one for the ages so I had to throw down Space Cowboy style. Please enjoy Party People 16 - Breakfast of Champions 2020. "

8ball - Space Cowboys Livecast Mix - March 2020

We are starting a series of guest mixes spotlighting various artists outside of the Bay Area and kicking it off with a guest mix from Tampa Bay's InterCom (@intercom-dj).

Intercom has pulverized dancefloors from coast to coast with his unique brand of impious vibrations since 1999. Stupefying crowds from Black Rock City to Lakes of Fire, Intercom’s influence on the Burning Man music community has stretched from memorable performances at the Freakeasy and Hookahdome to those at Dewie Decibels and Gon Kirin. In Detroit, Intercom spent years leaving audiences in a pile of their own excrement during monthlies for SanctumFM. Also pairing his caliginous vibe quite appropriately with the devils and ghouls at Theatre Bizarre, where he has performed since prior to the inception of their mainstream epoch. 

Intercom has opened for and supported such belligerence powerhouses as Deekline, Keith Mackenzie, Stanton Warriors, Freq Nasty and Radiohiro.

Here's what he had to say about the mix: 
"The space cowboys have been a continual inspiration musically and it's an honor to have the opportunity to be featured by them.

I hope this can get folks a-wiggling, even through quarantine! "

Little late posting, but here's my set from Space Cowboys' LIVEcast3.0 on 04.04.20. 

Enjoy!

8ball - Space Cowboys Livecast - April 4, 2020

A Mix for an on line fundraising event entitled Unison 5.   This is some dark funky broken ghetto techno.    That's my best description.  There is an edge to this mix, it's not for everyone but perfect for these troubling times.

As we wade through the current state of the world it can sometimes feel bleak and dark. Music is one thing that always brings me back into the light Through the Darkness 🙏

I created a new Liquid DnB mix that is sure to move your soul and is sure to move your through your own darkness.
Sending you love and Hope you enjoy <3
