This is a quick moment in time were we had a break from COVID-19. We hit the club where everyone felt vaccinated and safe, no known variants were in our midst. I felt every note of the tracks I played that night deep in my soul and blasted out through the speakers. Replaying this set will allow you to experience a taste of what I was feeling that night, freedom, liberation, movement, joy, excitement, love, honor, pleasure.

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.

Dan @djschmultz McHugh was part of our @fantastic-voyage-music crew. As I came into the cohort late, I only got to know him briefly before he was taken away from us by cancer. He inspired us with his creativity, talent, positivity, silliness, and courage. Many producers got over our fear of using our own voices in our tracks because of him. This just released compilation features a slew of amazing work across genres that speak to how he inspired us in different ways.

For my track, "Dup", it was drawing on the silliness. I was in a creative rut when I decided I had had enough of our dog Appa's squeaky pig sounds. So I took it, sampled it, and made it a central piece of this track. I had a stupid grin the entire time I was making the track.

I think it's fitting that this also marks my first release on Spotify and Beatport. Go check out the whole compilation. There's a LOT of good stuff there.

All proceeds go to City of Hope cancer research!

Well whaddaya know? Like finding that favorite album tucked away in a nook, we discovered we still have more amazing BoC recordings to share! This is a driving, get you going, butt off the chair mix from our very own WorkR. Let's goooooo!

Here's what WorkR had to say about the mix: "I was beyond excited to play Breakfast of Champions again in person after our long lockdown break of virtual events. I played early in the day, basking in the sunlight and the vibe of the crowd. What a great way to start the new year."

This week, we are starting a series of live recordings from the inaugural Unison Campout. Unison was a project Space Cowboys have been a part of since the beginning—combining the forces of many communities and crews to raise money during the pandemic with livestreams and this was the first all in-person event!

It makes sense then to open the series with @Lowdeka, whose killer set opened up Saturday after the ceremony and tore up the dance floor! 

From Lowdeka:
"This was my first live in person breaks set. I put a lot of heart into it with the hope that it would take you on an uplifting journey through dance. I hope you enjoy listening/dancing to it as much as I enjoyed making it!"


About Lowdeka:
Lowdeka is a Producer/Dj and California native who has three decades in the various incarnations of the west coast underground culture. As a b-boy (break dancer) battling his way through the 90's and as a Dj since 1999. This has had a profound influence on his music style which can be heard in a variety of genres.  As a producer, Lowdeka is in pursuit of the perfect amalgamation of the sounds that inspire him; funky bass lines, hype breaks, head bobbing rhythms, aggressive drops and an unrelenting energy is shared amongst an array of genres that make up his unique style.
