Two-two-Ted Lassos in two weeks! Coincidentally, we had two of our cowboys play as Ted Lasso at the Halloween Haunted Hoedown. This is a breaks set from kev/null (@kevnull) on the Silent Disco Purple stage. Here's what he had to say about the mix:

"I love Halloween sets because you can really get into a full performance that integrates the music, the costume, and the crowd. For this set, I created a handful of custom edits that incorporated Ted Lasso quotes and tracks that went with the themes of the show. And a little interlude for Squid Game fans to boot. I hope you enjoy it!"

kev/null Live at Haunted Hoedown 2021

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.

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.

kev/null Live at Four Elements Campout

A true back to back session where kev/null started us out and we continued 1 track to 1 track for this live set. Mastered by kev/null. Game: see if you can guess which track is Nurse Noise and which ones are kev/null.

kev/null Vs Nurse Noise - Feather River Campout 2023

Breakfast of Champions + It’s a New Day is always the best party of the year and I love the event because it’s indeed a new day and everyone is there full of optimism for a fresh start. It’s always an honor to play there and it was also my first time playing on the Mog, about a decade after dancing to DJs on the Mog inspired me to DJ! This set harkens back to some of the breaks roots and also features an original track on an EP that was recently released (https://kevnull.bandcamp.com/album/how-about-drums) I hope you enjoy it! -kev/null

kev/null RIPEcast - Breakfast of Champions 2024

What a huge honor to play my inaugural Reno Decompression set at my favorite venue, Dead Ringer Analog Bar. The entire event was fantastic with half a dozen stages, four bars, a ton of art cars, food trucks, performers, and vendors from 3pm until 6am all around Reno's Brewery District.

9PM on Saturday is early times for Reno but the dance floor filled up quick! Thank you to all that came to support. This set is a bit of a different vibe for me, with a flow of progressive house, melodic techno, indie dance, and maybe even some tech house. Yet somehow, as always happens, it still sounds like me. I hope you enjoy!

Welcoming a new "exploration of this new community space re-imagined in the kitschy, trippy aesthetic of the 60’s sci-fi film and comic Barbarella" Going with the theme and time slot, I played a deep and bass-y (bassey? bassie?) warming up for the firey set that @davidmcgrath (Workr) played. Thanks to David for organizing such a wonderful evening and to BARbarella, definitely a new favourite space.

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."

kev/null RIPEcast Live @ IAND + BOC 2020

The fifth annual Second Halloween (known to some poor saps as Valentine's Day), the newly invented holiday from the legendary Brass Tax crew is a real delight. Why only have one time a year to dress up. And why celebrate a hallmark holiday when instead you can dress up and be merry with friends?

This set is an off-the-cuff live recording from the event which inadvertently had a very "shake" theme. I did ask everyone to bring booties to shake so it was appropriate. Thanks to Brass Tax for inviting me to play!

It's been awhile! Although I've been playing many sets online since I last posted here, many of them have been on my twitch feed for the combination of audio and visual experience. 

To make up for it, here's a set that's a combination of one I played last weekend and elements of a few others I've done before for a mega 2hr set. Enjoy!

Feather River Virtual Campout (Extended) 2020

Although we've started releasing Unison 5 sets, we still have a stockpile of Unison 4 recordings as well and we need to share them! This week, we are featuring our very own Space Cowboy, kev/null (@kevnull). He's also simultaneously released his Unison 5 set on his soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/kevnull/elections2020

Here's what he had to say about his Unison 4 set:
"An unexpected part of playing live streaming is learning a whole new skillset around visuals. For this set, I decided to try to try and do projection mapping onto the back of my house and combine it with a fun upbeat breaks set with a ton of great new music. I hope you enjoy it!

kev/null RIPEcast Live at Unison 4

(Also check out my release today on @spacecowboys RIPEcast: https://soundcloud.com/spacecowboys/kevnull-unison4)

2020 has been quite the year, culminating (at least for now) with the 2020 US elections. For my set for Unison 5 (@unison_stream), I decided to try and add a layer to the music by creating a poem through the track titles of what's played, in the order they're played. In addition, all the tracks were released before 2016—a happier and more sane time. 

Aside from the poem, the music is a high energy electro breaks set but within it still has an energetic journey that was cathartic and for me, emotional. I hope you enjoy it.

You can also check out the video version which shows the track name as its played and accompanying visuals and video clips at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/799016399

Live at Unison 5 - A Poem Through Track Titles

A set I played for @airpushercollective's February event. A lot of bumping tech house for your listening pleasure!

kev/null Live at Airpusher February Flyby

Vancouver native, San Francisco-raved producer and DJ. Featuring fresh breakbeat, ghetto funk, tech, bass, and progressive house.

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.
