Hyphy right off the bat, with some nice deep house and disco gems along the way.  Disco Knights love for life! <3

The Hyphy Ravebot - Disco Knights at Burning Man 2014

The Milestone Fellowship was a retro-themed birthday party about a secret society which had formed around the world through letter writing and written support and friendship. The First Gathering, held in 1940, was its first in-person gathering since its inception in response to the growing need for community and support in uncertain times.

I wanted to try something a little different, a set that was appropriate to the theme and times we were emulating yet fun and danceable. What started out planned as a funky/retro breaks set turned into my first drum and bass set or as it's known by some, "Swing 'n' Bass". Enjoy!

Assembly of Amazing Ass Anthems for Amy

I had a rough week and I wanted some music that would make me feel better. I'm also about to leave for Burning Man in a few days and I've been collecting and organizing a bunch of tracks for various situations and moods.
One of my favorite times of day at BM is sunrise. It's such a wonderful transition from the darkness and intensity of sound and fire to the light. I've tried to capture that here with some deep, lush tracks, building up to the brightness and joy of a new day.

Mr.C - Quick Exit

“In protest of the current inhumane political climate, I could not rest my head in privilege. I wrote 'Bebin' in Farsi, to solidify. I stand strong with love. In this case I choose to avoid mainstream media, because I have no interest in part taking in a victimized concept. As I will not be able to travel to the United States for indefinite duration, take this without lights, camera, action. I am solely a messenger. In the brain of love, there is no place for racism, nor bigotry.” -Sevdaliza

Lyrics:
This feeling 
Makes you feel grande 
Yet this same feeling 
Makes me feel small 
Don't oblige me what to feel 
If I don't feel it at all 
You ask me how I feel 
Yet close your eyes 
To truth be told 
Behold.. 

Whatever it is you demand of me 
My love for this world 
My love personally 
Is larger than life 
This is my story

Friends 'N' Family XXIII 2019

bassben vs. kev/null Live @ Friends 'N' Family XXIII Pt. 2

A wise woman once said: "Frolic is all the things!"

I couldn't agree more. 

 What a treat to get to share some of my favorite music with such excellent people, in a beautiful place, in the sunshine, by the pool!

Live at Frolic X

My live set from the 2019 edition of the Friends and Family Fall Classic campout at the Spinning Wheel Retreat outside Yosemite. Such a great party and one of my favorite sets in a while. Turn it UP and enjoy. Thanks to Martin Wasiak for the awesome photo, to Sean Cusack for recording and to everyone that busted their butts making this party happen. =)

Ethan - Live at the FnF Fall Classic 2019

So humbled and honored to rock such an amazing sound system with such a legendary crew. This mix jumps genres more than I would normally deem appropriate, but hey - it was that kind of afternoon. Part 2 coming soon!

FurSure Live at FnF Fall Classic

3:45-5:00am set at the Friends and Family Fall Classic - 2019

Live at FnF Fall Classic II - 2019

This is a really special set for me, every fnf event happens because of amazing volunteers, people who step up to make the event happen. I was fortunate to play a role in certain areas that are dear to my heart. I put a lot into it, and it put a lot back into me.

Blasting tech-house with soul is what in store for you!

Live @ FNF Fall Classic 2019

FnF Fall Classic was so much fun! Huge respect for the amazingly rich sound from WAVEWORKS, and mindblowing lights, lasers and visual effects from Radiant Atmospheres. Big hugs and kisses to the FnF skippers, coordinators, and volunteers that made this kickass event a reality, and keep the FnF flame burning all year round. Also, endless gratitude to the amazing music producers bringing all this music to life!! You're killing it!

Live At FnF Fall Classic 2019

On this week’s episode of the RIPEcast, we’re delighted to share a smashing tech house set from resident Space Cowboy DJ @bassben, recorded live at our sold out Haunted Hoedown Halloween event in San Francisco. It was HOT up in there!
 
Enjoy the mix.

Bassben RIPEcast Live from Haunted Hoedown 2019

It's the final installment of our It's a New Day + Breakfast of Champions live recordings. From the Dusty Rhino stage closing out the party, we bring you our very own Space Cowboy kev/null's set.

Here's what he had to say:
"Well I must say it's weird to look at an event photo with all these happy dancers crammed together during this time of shelter-in-place! I'm looking forward to those moments when we can all come together again, smile at each other, feel the highs of the music and the lows of the bass and the energy and love of each other. Stay safe out (in) there."

We've got another prime time Space Cowboys stage live recording from It's a New Day + Breakfast of Champions 2020. This one is a special tag team between our own Space Cowboy @bassben and our friend @kem_sf from Friends 'n' Family. It's a rocking set that just doesn't give up!

Here's what bassben had to say:
"Breakfast of Champions 2020 was legendary! Kem and I had a blast delivering this high energy tech house set to an enthusiastic crowd of thousands of New Year’s Day revelers. The LED arrays framing the stage were amazing,  and sound was on point. People were going nuts! Enjoy the mix."

This week, we're continuing releases from Unison 5 (@unison_stream). This time it's a heavy-hitting breaks mix from Santa Cruz DJ Sessions' Stuart Hill Robinson. Enjoy!

Here's what Stu had to say about the mix:
"I've been working closely with members of the Space Cowboys for the Unison Events of 2020. I'm extremely grateful to work with the Unison team, and to have the opportunity to play on the Space Cowboys Twitch channel. This mix is from Unison 5, and is an incredible, bass-filled hour!"

About Stuart Hill Robinson:
Stuart Hill Robinson has been working in SF Bay Area music and entertainment off and on for over 20 years, having been a promoter for Clockwork Events and Funky Techno Tribe in the late 1990s and early 2000s, along with conventional DJ/MC work for Sound In Motion Events. He prefers to work behind the scenes, which is why you will rarely find his mixes online, or his name on a flyer. But he hopes that you appreciate what he does share.
