In anticipation of the Scumfrog's 'Collection 2021', released at the end of October, here is the recording of his return to DJing. Recorded in front of a packed dance floor in NYC on September 16th. 

After lockdowns, quarantines, isolations and live streams, The Scumfrog returned to the decks in front of a real crowd for an extended set at the venue where he started MBTS 6 years earlier. For once, he managed to press 'record' on his recorder before he started. Enjoy more than 3 hours of dancing to The Scumfrog's interpretation of post-pandemic boogie.

This week's RIPEcast is from Space Cowboy's own DJ Deckard. Here's what he has to say for himself:

"Breakfast of Champions is consistently my favorite party of the year both to DJ and attend. I opened the outdoor main stage at 9am this year and for all intents and purposes got to play the sunrise set I had been desiring to play but never got the chance at Burning Man earlier in the year. I took it as an opportunity and honor to be able to set the tone for the morning and get the party off on the right foot. I loved getting to play more of a house oriented set with vocals and a block party feel towards the end of the set. I had a blast playing and hope it shows through in the set."

Bio:
Deckard began DJing in Seattle in 2000 and soon began playing gigs up and down the west coast. Upon moving to San Francisco in 2005 he fell in love with the electronic music scene which is so unique to the Bay Area. You can find him spinning at San Francisco institutions such as Mighty, Shine, Supper Club, Wish and the End Up. Deckard capped off a successful 2009 by joining up with the Space Cowboys Burning Man camp. Depending on the crowd, venue and time of day you might find him spinning downtempo lounge, funky big beat, tech house, electro or breaks.

DJ Deckard - Breakfast of Champions 2014

For the firsr time two legend djs take the stage as one, performing a back to back dj set at the 18th Annual Pink Party!!!!!

PINK PARTY 2023 With Special BB2 Guest Ej Luera 18th Annual

The year is 2023. A dark gloom looms over Vancouver, a sobering reflection of the current state of planet Earth. Artificial Intelligence, now sentient, has forced humanity into living in the shadows. As a race, it is unclear how much time human beings have left. It is imperative to live fully while time permits.  

On November 24, the underground subculture known as Higher Education calls on all cyberpunks and rebels to gather and do what is expressly human: Dance. Sweat. Feel. Connect. Unplug.

This was the set I put together to open the evening. After 13 years, I feel like Vancouver finally has a proper venue with the Vault. Everything was perfect: the setup, the sound, the visuals and the crew. Thank you to all my friends for supporting me on this special night.

Ladyboss – Paradise Dystopia

Thirty five years of professional DJing this summer! 

I have spent many past posts musing about the early days, so I will spare you words of nostalgia today. Instead, I want to hit you with the kind of set that I feel is an accumulation of my past experiences of what works on a dance floor, what I personally love, and which of those sounds I feel connect with what's happening today. 

Music has largely stopped giving us anything truly new in the past decade, but the absence of newness doesn't mean we shouldn't discover music that is new to US, and sometimes we should also remind ourselves of the great eras, genres and grooves we may have forgotten. So today, instead of giving you newness, I present to you my musical opinion on contemporary timelessness.

I would personally dance my ass off to this set. LMK if you would too.

Funky, sexy, booty-shaking set from the July 2020 Bubbles & Bass in Cyber Space Live stream!

Bubbles & Bass in Cyber Space July 19th 2020

Even though I recorded this mix in my small New Zealand quarantine hotel room, ‘the lagoon’ is a very real place. Last time this year, a small group of friends and I threw a secret bonfire moonrise party at this undisclosed location and I played a set there. This year I can sadly not be there, but I recorded a set with the event in mind. The result is over two and a half hours of eclectic psychedelic sounds. Channel your own inner lagoon the way I did over the past two days putting this set together. 
Much love to all my friends scattered around the world. Happy New Year,  and stay strong! (watch footage from last year here: https://youtu.be/LZFTI_Yr62o )
