Shadow Child & Sinden - Get At - Collected Out Now

We've got a few more fantastic sets from Ghost Ship to share with you as each week brings us closer to Breakfast of Champions. For this week we're bringing back ShOOey with her main stage closing set (played in the guise of Pauly D).

About this set ShOOey sez:

Playing the closing set at Ghostship this year gave me an excuse to play a little bigger, harder and darker than my usual sound.  I had an absolute blast on stage dancing, jumping, and fist pumping my heart out.  Seeing all my friends in the first few rows of the dacefloor was a treat as always and love that people were in the for the long haul to see me play.  I hope you enjoy reliving a slice of the amazing party that Ghostship was!

ShOOey has been a staple in the San Francisco dance scene since 2003.  You can find her and her infectious energy at Space Cowboys events playing breaks and house.  She also dedicated her time DJ'ing in support for non-profit organizations like Beats for Boobs and La Casa de las Madres.  If you don't find her on the decks, you'll probably find her on a bicycle. :D

DJ shOOey Live at Ghost Ship 2013

We've got another killer set from Ghost Ship 2013 for you, this time from Space Cowboy DJ Aaron Pope. Here's how Pope tells it: 

"This year's Ghost ship was nuts! It was great to see the party go off so massively in the new space, and I honestly have never seen a crazier, bigger crowd in front of the MOG. People were definitely up for all kinds of music, as long as it inspired them to dance, so it was hard to go wrong. I was feeling a little nostalgic, about all the amazing times I've had at this party over the years, so I mixed up my newer house and breaks with a lot of what I consider classics. Pretty funky, fun set on a huge sound system - Enjoy!"

About Aaron Pope:
“Dance music is all about drawing energy out of people in a positive way.” This is Aaron Pope’s belief, and that’s what most people remember about his DJ sets - his infectious energy. A longtime music fan and dance floor resident, Aaron brings this joy and love of music behind the decks with him, and at every gig he loves to dance and interact with the crowd. His sets encompass many styles, including house, breaks, electro; even funky mid-tempo if the occasion demands.

Aaron has been a professional DJ for 13 years. He has played at almost every venue in San Francisco, for a wide range of promoters and crews. He was the first resident DJ and music manager for the infamous Deep End at Burning Man. His gigs have taken him to New York, Miami and Chicago, Brazil, the Caribbean and Ibiza. As a member of the Space Cowboys, he can often be found playing at such parties as the Ghost Ship, SnowFest and the infamous Breakfast of Champions.

Kimba Live From How Weird 2014

It's one week away until one of Black Butter Records' most successful protégé’s, Kidnap Kid, links up with UKG demigod, DJ EZ in Room One alongside Friend Within and more. Whilst it wasn't actually that long ago that Kidnap Kid delivered his last promo mix to our doors, if you look at how he has progressed over the past few months then you can kind of understand why we think it's necessary to present the burgeoning artist once more. Opting for a more vocal-laced blend on the last podcast this drop definitely reflects how the producer has grown, delivering a slightly more tripped out and club cut flex this time around...

Kidnap Kid - FABRICLIVE Promo Mix

This week in The Armory we welcome another one of Zach's Space Cowboy cohorts, DJ Aaron Pope of San Francisco. Aaron is a seasoned veteran of San Francisco nightlife and a respected member of the Burning Man community. Before he joined up with the Cowboys, Aaron was a resident DJ with the Burning Man crew formerly known as the Deep End. Aaron has been enjoying a long hiatus from DJing this summer, but took some time away from hiking, camping and backpacking to put together this funky breaks and house mix for us. Press play and enjoy!

NOTM Mix 003 - J Hazen

The producer best known as Huerco S. accompanies One Day, our record of the year, with two hours of minimal and dub introspections.

This summer, Kansas-raised DJ and producer Brian Leeds released One Day under his revived Loidis alias. Enamoured with the restrained, loopy sounds of early '00s dance music, the album’s eight tracks linger in the air, luxuriating in dubbed-out chords, swung beats and sub vibrations. It's our favourite record of 2024 for a reason. 

It's a sound he's coined, in his typically teasing fashion, "dub mnml emo tech." All winks aside, it’s no wonder One Day became the soothing balm we all needed. In a scene overwhelmed by hard and fast trends, the softer—and Leeds might argue, more sincere—stylings of minimal and dub techno enjoyed a welcome second wind. 

Not only was One Day one of our favourites of the year (more on that this week), but it also inspired us to break our usual no-repeats rule, inviting Leeds back to the RA Podcast under a different alias after his 2019 turn as Huerco S. 

"The prevailing trends in dance music are more and more maximalist," Leeds noted. "I missed restraint, subtlety, and sensuality." Clocking in at just under two hours, RA.965 embodies that ethos in spades.

The Firebug's Last Dance

Sepalcure 
Fight For Us EP 
HF044
Single / Digital

Ahead of a second full length album coming in April of 2016, one of the jewels in the Hotflush crown is back with another standout new EP. Sepalcure’s "Fight For Us EP" is their sixth on Scuba’s label, and it features two tracks of the sort of inventive and singular sounds that have made the American duo a truly unique proposition in the underground.

Sepalcure is the coming together of two creative musical talents, Travis Stewart (aka Machinedrum) and Praveen Sharma (who also works as Braille), and between the pair and their vast musical backgrounds they bring a real emotional sensibility and melodic sensuality to their sounds. Built on a solid groove foundation that takes cues from juke’s trademark jittery bass, they knit in both organic wood block hits and more synthetic electronic synth textures that are compelling and refreshing, and make for some of the most forward thinking sounds in all of modern day dance. This new release proves that once more.

Opener ‘Fight For Us’ is a shimmering, sun kissed and trilling electronic affair with lazy chords drifting next to heartfelt female vocals. Down low, a tender and light weight drum patter is inviting as it tumbles along, sucking you into the most vulnerable of emotional spaces. It’s a real heart-stopper that speaks of the sort of lost loves that we have all encountered at some point in our lives.

On the flip, the title track ‘Music 4 All’ is a more driven and direct, dance floor-oriented cut. Swooning synths are draped over rubber kicks as a nebulous vocal muttering infuses the whole thing. Prickly precision and filtered pads all add to the inviting sense of groove and lift you up, up and away.

This is honest electronic music with real structure that tugs at the heart whilst inviting you to tap your feet at the same time. For that rare trick, Sepalcure are in a class of their own.

02. Music 4 All

RA.737 DJ Perception

I am seriously in love with music. I can get down to anything...as long as it's good. Every genre of music has something of QUALITY to offer, so I try to listen to everything with an open mind. I love electronic music because of its versatility of textures, scope of sound, feelings, and vibes. Given my mood I could be listening to house, breaks,  garage, future beats, techno, acid, progressive, drum n bass, dubstep, psychedelic trance, psybient, ambient, IDM, downtempo, etc.  I also listen to a lot of conscious hip hop, jazz, soul, reggae, world music, indie rock, post rock, classic rock, folk, and some nostalgic 90's and 80's alternative/pop.  I'm on soundcloud to mainly find mixes to groove to.  Lately, I've been into the soulful and uplifting sounds of liquid drum n bass, loud ass techhouse, and chill deep bass music/ deep house.
