This week, we welcome a long-time staple of the Bay Area music scene, friend of the Cowboys (and just about everyone!) and founder of Ambient Mafia, @redstickman. Tho often known for the Ambient Mafia's downtempo chill beats, this set is anything but! Strap on your seat belts and turn off your seat warmers cuz this is coming in hot.

About redstickman:
Redstickman founded the infamous Ambient Mafia in November of 1999, and they’ve taken over chill rooms in the San Francisco Bay Area by storm with their chunky and funky downtempo beats.

Known for his unconventionality as well as excellence in DJ ability, he can be found behind the decks in random clubs from San Francisco to Tokyo, Bangkok to Luang Prabang, and Berlin to Lisbon.

In addition to downtempo, he DJs techno and ghettotech and makes really weird art pieces.

redstickman Exclusive RIPEcast Mix

I stepped out of my usual underground breakbeat vibe for something totally different at BottleRock this year.  I performed an all 80's originals POP set.  Get your glow sticks and leg warmers ready as we hop in the Delorean and take a trip to the past!

Continuing our Unison Campout recordings, we have Iggy from the BoomZilla Sound Collective and Ambient Mafia with something a little more groovy to slide you through your hump day. Enjoy!

Here's what Iggy had to say: 
"There is nothing more meaningful than giving back to the community. It was an honor to share a set of chill vibes to a group of generous campers, all giving back to those in need at the Unison campout 2022."

About Iggy:
Iggy started her music career on the East Coast at the age of 15 as a lead singer and guitarist in a folk-alternative band, Gummy Dinosaurs. When the opportunity came to move across the country to Oakland in 1994, Iggy landed a few blocks from a record store, where she bought her first dance track, making the plunge into DJing. After years of carrying bags of vinyl on her skateboard, visiting friends with decks and sound systems, she built her own system, the BoomZilla Sound. With the help of her best friend, Disco Dianna, the BoomZilla Sound Collective was formed.

The Boomzilla Sound Collective (BSC) is a non-profit organization connecting musicians to collaborate and create a unique audio experience through community, inclusivity and expression. Iggy and Dianna manage the BSC music studio in Oakland to provide a space for the musicians to collaborate, experiment and evolve their art. The BCS curates many events every year for the current and prospective collective members to share their art with people who love music. Their events range from dance parties, live streaming broadcasts, and DJ workshops for aspiring artists.

Iggy Live at Unison Campout 2022 on RIPEcast

Continuing our series of live recordings from the Unison Campout, this week, we are welcoming the debut of Bay Area DJ D2 (@denisemartin76) with a slamming poolside breaks set!

Here's what D2 had to say: "I'm an old school breakbeat junkie, a drum head and this mix captures everything that makes me want to shake my ass and I hope you'll want to do the same. "

About D2:
D2 has toured the world as a drummer playing almost every style of music.
When the pandemic put a pause on her gigs, she decided to give the decks a spin and see if they would provide the musical fix her soul needed. They did. 
She’s just getting started but excited to keep making booties shake for years to come.

Lanx and Nick Slater, aka the Drumattic Twins, have been a leading force in dance music since they first began touring over 20 years ago. Making their name as Shades of Rhythm, they ruled the early nineties rave scene with legendary anthems ‘Sweet Sensation’, ‘Sound of Eden’, ‘Extacy’ and ‘Homicide’ and performed with the likes of The Prodigy and N-Joi.

Since rebranding themselves as the Drumattic Twins in 1997, Nick and Lanx quickly replicated this global notoriety thanks to the massive hit tracks ‘Feelin Kinda Strange’ ‘Twister’ and ‘HyperSpeed’. They teamed up with the legendary release platform Finger Lickin Records in 1999 and settled quickly into the close-knit world of the breakbeat scene, working alongside global acts such as Plump DJs, Soul of Man and Lee Coombs.

From a string of releases from 1999 starting with top the selling "Feeling Kinda Strange" till late 2013 with their "Get Up and Dance EP" on Sugarbeat Records and 2 full length albums in between the Drumattic Twins have laid down a variety of music that have influenced the Breaks Scene and shaped it in to what it is today.

So Real

A chaotic collection of around 45 tracks spanning old and new, finished and unfinished, and bouncing between completely different genres — a sonic grab-bag where anything goes.

20.02.2023 (I lose it)

I had the pleasure of playing to the always beautiful sunsets on Koh Lanta, an island in Thailand at the Pangea Beach Bar. This was a great opportunity to put together a set of a lot of the chiller tracks I've been collecting over the last year or so.

This 2h30m set is a journey with the sun, starting off chill and, after the sun sets and the lights come on, a little bit more of a dance vibe with many throwbacks.

Thanks to Alex and @pangea-beach-bar-ko-lanta for having me play. If you're in Koh Lanta, check them ot for sunsets and for their Tuesday night parties where they bring in DJs from all over the world for a night of tech house and dancing.

Sunset Live at Pangea Bar, Koh Lanta, Thailand

Opening night of Burning Man 2016, Dyson and I had the opportunity to play an improv tag team at Camp Suburbia. We had a blast taking the party up over two hours from a chill sunset to a packed dance floor.

Thank you so much for having us, Suburbians!

Burning Man 2016

kev/null vs. Dyson, Live at Camp Suburbia, Burning Man 2016

Recorded live on Dec 3, 2016, one night after the Oakland Ghost Ship fire. Planning the set that day, I found the cognitive dissonance difficult to navigate. How to know what to play when we were all reeling and feeling such loss? How to get in the mindset of being fun?

But through the course of the hour of this set, the mood seemed to shift for everyone. It was one of the most magical experiences I've had as a DJ. To gift music and watch as we collectively moved through our emotions and bonded on and off the dance floor. Somber expressions turned to smiles, love, and appreciation for each other, those lost, and who have lost.

Music and community is so powerful. Cherish it, celebrate it, and feed it.

Frolic Winter 2016

Live at Frolic Winter 2016, Spur

For a long time now, I've collected some music that is quite different from my usual peak breaks sound. I've had a large collection of progressive and deep house I've wanted to play at sunrise and was given this opportunity by the fine folks at Decadent Oasis this year at Burning Man.

As the light shone over the "palm trees" and the sun started to shine on everyone's faces, a couple dozen skydivers with tails started to descend from the sky. A perfect, magical, playa moment.

Decadent Oasis Sunrise, Burning Man 2018

Considered one of the pioneers of the Nu Skool Breaks sound and an innovative person in trying out new sounds Adam Freeland had many a hit back in the day specially with on his own label Marine Parade with which he promoted other top Breaks acts in the early 2000's. This mix was recorded for Australia's Triple J Radio back in 2004.

LIFT OFF EP OUT NOW (#2 Breaks Releases on Beatport)

Whether it's in an basement club in Hong Kong at peak hour, sunset on a beach in Thailand, in a dusty whiteout on an art car shaped like a giant brain at Burning Man, or in a massive club sound system in San Francisco, his infectious energy and track selection sets the right mood and gets the the crowd moving.

He's a member of the San Francisco collective, The Space Cowboys, and has had the fortune to share billing with artists such as Lee Burridge, Stanton Warriors, Tara Brooks, A. Skillz, and many more.
