As we all know, the official 2021 Burn didn't happen.  Nor did I head out to the Rogue Burn.  But musically I was ready!  And I still had to put together what would have been the kind of set I would have played if I stepped into the O Pod (Opulent Temple's DJ booth) on a Wednesday night ready to rock a crowd and play with flame throwers. 

So accept this substitute for the dance floor experience this set tried to capture, with a range of house to take the playa tinged journey.  Hope you enjoy.

BASSBEN vs kem Live at IAND+BoC 2022 RIPEcast

Sunday, September 3rd 2023

Let us paint you a picture of our Sunday night at Camp Y2K during Burning Man 2023, where Jeremiah Red and Madison Orange took the audience on a musical odyssey that defies the odds.

As we embarked on our journey to the set, mud underfoot and determination in our hearts, we faced the unexpected challenges that Burning Man often delivers.

It was as if the very elements conspired to test our commitment to the music.

The path to the set became a metaphorical pilgrimage, a testament to the resilience of Burners and their unwavering devotion to the sounds that unite us all.

As we revisit that unforgettable Sunday night, remember that sometimes, the journey to the music is as extraordinary as the music itself. 

It's a reminder that at Burning Man, we embrace challenges, we overcome obstacles, and we dance through the mud to find the magic. Welcome to the incredible soundscape of Jeremiah Red and Madison Orange back to back DJ set at Camp Y2K!

SOUL POWER VOLUME 2

The January edition of my monthly “Snapshot” mix series, which recently celebrated its premiere on Radio Z 95.8 Nuremberg. This time, the focus is increasingly on two of my personal favorite labels labels from England, which celebrated round anniversaries in 2024: First Word Records (20 years), and Wah Wah 45s (25 years). In addition, there are a few more of my recent musical discoveries.
The sound ranges somewhere between downtempo, hip hop, neo soul, soul jazz, nu jazz, broken beat and afro house.

Featuring music by Hardkandy, Espen Horne, Takuya Kuroda, Essa (a.k.a. Yungun), Mr Thing, Tall Black Guy, Blockhead, Amanda Whiting, Scrimshire, Total Hip Replacement, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Anthony Joseph, Part Time Heroes, and others...

Beating The Crates in association with Ghetto Funk

Beating The Crates 26.10.20

Remember when going out used to be fun? Do you prefer dancing to posing? Does your idea of dressing to impress have nothing to do with designer labels and everything to do with finding a gorilla costume in the perfect shade of purple? Bored of identikit ‘edgy’ nights called Fraktion, Elastik, and other ironically misspelled words? Well despair no more because THE HONG KONG PING PONG CLUB is here to restore your faith in the weekends!

During the late 00’s in the farthest flung reaches of the South West a group of friends were brought together by a mutual love of good music. With roots in Funk, Hip Hop, Big Beat and Breaks they had a no holds barred attitude
to their tune selection, playing a multi genre smorgasbord each bringing their own flavour to the mix.

Refusing to be pigeonholed and taking inspiration from nights like ‘The Heavenly Social’ and ‘The Big Beat Boutique’ ‘The Hong Kong Ping Pong Club’ was conceived. They rapidly gained a loyal party loving following at their spiritual home and residency ‘The Watermans’ in Falmouth and were soon playing host to the great and good within the scene.

Thrusting themselves in to the limelight with the infamous ‘Mixtape’ series the next logical step was to take the show on the road and bookings for booths in clubs and stages in fields quickly followed.

They have become a main stay at Shindig Festival, Shambala, Leopallooza and The Great Estate and have recently started to once again promote their own night’s back in Falmouth at The Underland Bar.

They love The Hong Kong Ping Pong Club and if you are inclined to dance like a drunken-hands-in-the-air Viking to bootie shakingly good music you’ll like it too!
