@r-a-c-c-a: "work" meaning "home" these days

Thank you so much for this piece kev. I appreciate you and my wife and I send mad love your way from the Tetons!

This week, we have another tag team from It's a New Day + Breakfast of Champions. Our very own kev/null (@kevnull) with special guest davesimon (@djdavesimon)! 

Here's what they had to say about the set:

Kevin: What an epic event. Dave and I started DJing coincidentally the same year and for the past decade have played at many of the same events, supported each other, and shared opportunities. To have our first tag team be at this special event, especially after such a long hiatus, was truly a peak experience.

Dave: Meeting up to prepare and practice was hampered by all the things - 210 miles between us (Oakland/Reno), the holidays, an oddly limited number of flight options, and an insane blizzard that shut down the interstates.  Thankfully two years of streaming experience inspired us to practice through a combination of high fidelity Zoom and Facetime calls, Dropbox and Soundcloud.  Our mixers interfaced to Zoom, with bidirectional audio mixer monitoring + screen sharing made it possible to preview mixes, talk through sequences, flows, and visualize hot-cues.  Using a common method for marking up tracks, we were able to make it happen remotely.  Our first in-person practice session was the night before BOC, on New Years Eve, with a thrown-together DJ setup on a friends' kitchen table.

I had the incredible honor of playing on the main stage of FnF this year at 10:45pm. The theme of this year's campout was, "Balls" so the set features a couple of original tracks I made to go along with the theme. Thanks so much to the coordinators, the volunteers, the music team, and all the amazing people for making the return to FnF such a joy. 

If you'd like to get the full (unreleased) "Balls" tracks, you can find them (and download AIFF to use) here:

kev/null Live at Friends 'n' Family XXIV (2022)

FnF was kind to get me out to the west coast. What an amazing community they have. Here is my Friday night set with some of my poolside mixed near the end.

FnF Summer Campout

Live Friday night At the FnF Summer Campout 2022

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.

Hello Friends! On this week’s RIPEcast we have our very own Rumblemunk with his epic set of heavy beats and bass from Breakfast of Champions x It’s A New Day 2023. Here’s some word from Rumblemunk about the mix: 

“Upon listening to the recording of my set, I learned that I had skipped AN ENTIRE TRACK. Since all tracks are critical to a set, I had to re-record. Here is the best version of what I intended on that beautiful clear evening with you all. It’s a busload of the best breakbeats I found in 2022, plus 5 (!) original productions from years past.”

What an amazing experience Love Burn 2023 was. A highlight was definitely getting to play at The Freakeasy's Kitty Kat Island on Saturday night to an amazing crowd and in front of…an articulated giant cat that shoots lasers! LAZER CAT.

I also had the opportunity to play a lot of the original tracks I'd been working on for the past year including one I did the weekend before the Burn and another I wrote specifically for the Burn. I hope you enjoy this journey! It's got a little something for everyone.
